Just throwing out ideas for how you could affect change if you so choose.

Seems to me you are in a position to provide an anonymous tip with images of the dumpster with compacted plastic in it to support the claim to an eco-friendly news outlet to name and shame them and put pressure on management to change.

Keep in mind precautions necessary to remain anonymous when providing any tip if you don't want to be roped in on it. Maybe someone knows a resource for whistleblowers on safe disclosure?
