That's not entirely true. Here's the rule (which was changed to be very specific), emphasis mine.

G27. ROBOTS and anything they control (except for LITTER in the LITTER CHUTE and TOTES in the TOTE CHUTE), may not contact anything outside the FIELD.
VIOLATION: Offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.

So if the recycle container is on the ground and not in control of a robot you're fine (provided your hand does not enter the field). If you feed litter into a recycle container controlled (held or supported) by a robot you are in violation if any part of the litter is outside the field when it touches the recycle container. Note the severe penalty - robot disabled.
