While not a big deal for people to just have a chopstick bag next to their battery bag, it's clearly the small restaurants that will produce the bulk of it, or not, depending on their participation.
Also, the yellow garbage bags will fool the crows, but your nosey neighboor will still be able to tell what you're throwing away.
