The yard waste containers are picked up by a grabber-truck and the contents dumped into the truck.  Supposedly the bags are removed by employees in hazmat suits where the yard waste trucks dump their contents.  They are then transported... somewhere... something.

In my area the food waste and yard waste are turned into compost which is available to residents for free. They do a good job at removing the non-compostable stuff that gets dumped into the yard waste bins.
In fact, today is the first day of the seven month window that it is open: <https://www.cupertino.org/our-city/departments/environment-sustainability/compost-site>
There are no garbage police, yet, but it does benefit residents to sort their trash into the gray, blue, and green bins because garbage rate increases are tied to the amount of waste that ends up in the landfill, versus waste that is turned into compost, or waste that is, theoretically, recycled (I say "theoretically" because most of the recycled material is usually no longer recycled (other than aluminum cans)).
