Recycle metals and cardboard. Anything else is a joke.
One of the worst recycling offenders is the general public. No surprise there. People throw wet garbage, wire, plastic bags, plastic garbage cans, paint cans, Styrofoam, all of which spoil the entire container of “recyclables” which is then dumped into the landfill.
Recycling is a scam.
Chickens absolutely love to eat styrofoam. I have to hide every foam cooler norma, I can’t just put them up in the barn or they’ll eat it.
They’ll go after every styrofoam cup or insulation panel they see.
Doesn’t seem to hurt them at all, some of my perpetrators are ten years old.
