They already do it here in Australia, Some of the garbage trucks are fitted with cameras so they can monitor what rubbish comes out of your bin. If they see to much that can be recycled they can send reminders on recycling options.
The recycling bins are checked by council rangers, who check to see if the wrong things are in the bin, if they are, they take a photo of your bin's contents and ban it from being collected till the offending items are removed.
Some bins are microchip-ed, so that a log can be kept on how much rubbish is thrown out and how much is recycled.
