How are you sure discs dropped in retail bins are making it to trex, given the studies done showing a lot of plastic films in retail bins doesn't make it to recyclers?

Since Obaggo doesn't operate any of the retail store take-back locations, I can't credibly say what happens at any particular one. The locations that we include on our lookup directory are operated by Trex, the nations biggest consumer of plastic bags and film, so the material should be getting collected. The studies that you mention found that several large retailers, Walmart and Target I believe, were the ones where the transponders ended up in landfill. But it was never clear if the transponders were found in the bags and discarded, or whether the bags and the transponders were discarded. Either way, Trex stopped working with those retailers, and they are not on our list either.
