Why is recycling not done at the level of the dumps themselves by professionals as opposed to individual people?

People are always expected to recycle themselves, but wouldn’t going through the garbage be easier in the dumps themselves to sift all recyclable waste from non-recyclable waste and sending it to the appropriate places be a more efficient and reliable way of doing things? Is this being done in any country, and if not, why not?

* It’s vastly easier to just not mix the recyclables with the trash in the first place.
* Recyclables not only have to be separated but also cleaned.
* That’s much easier to do with they aren’t soiled with garbage.
