How much do you suppose you need to be paid for picking up the spoon and putting it in your mouth? Taking out the trash should be basic self maintenance

None? It takes me not even a second to decide what bin to put it into.

Compost goes to a compost facility that generates methane from it and then sells the excess as fertilizer. Plastics get recycled. Reusable glass bottles get cleaned and reused, other molten down and reused. Other gets burned, filtered, and generates electricity.
