Passage Summary: If a city makes people sort their recycling, more of it will end up in the trash and the landfill. However, if the city doesn't make people sort, the sanitation department will run out of money because they can't afford to do the sorting themselves.

Reasoning: Implementing a sorting requirement for residents leads to more recyclables in landfills, but failing to implement it prevents the sanitation department from staying within its budget.

Analysis: This is a 'Must be True' question involving conditional logic. We are presented with two distinct paths: one leads to an environmental downside (landfill waste) and the other leads to a fiscal downside (budget failure). To stay within the budget, the city *must* implement the sorting requirement, which then triggers the first conditional chain leading to more recyclables in the landfill. Therefore, we can infer that if the department stays on budget, more recyclables will be buried.
