1. Absolutely
2. In the case of plastic utensiels, if the food particles are throughly removed.
In the case of food boxes. No. Even pizza boxes are deemed unrecyclable. At the plant, they will toss out pizza boxes due to the contamination of grease and cheese. Something about how it negativly effects the next batch of paper products made is their reasoning.

1. Yes! Recycling bins should be right next to the trash cans.
2. They don't want things with food residue on them. I don't think the plastic disposable utensils are the right kind of plastic (not sure about that one), they don't take all plastics.

to the first question, i agree COMPLETELY. to the second question, you might want to wash out the oil and i don't think there is a problem with soggy.
