Think about it this way, many Starbucks are in strip malls or developments where they dont own the property. There is consolidated waste management for the site and the property manager handles it, its out of their control. This is 100% reality, my wife used to work in commercial real estate.
I think the problem comes in with the deceit. They have recycle bins even if they don’t recycle and its out of their control. They’re lying to the customer, that is the crux of the problem.

That’s further evidence that Starbucks making assertions about recycling are misguided at best and misleading if not criminal in some jurisdictions.
