I remember when our brand new recycling center was first opened. They separated EVERYTHING! They even gave school kids tours.
Now, the only thing they separate is cardboard. That is only in the drop off area. In the bulk area, EVERYTHING goes together and there is no longer ANY separating. Right to the landfill.
Recycling is yet another fraud on the gullible public by “experts” and bureaucrats. If someone wants to sort through my trash they can. I do pay to have it removed from my premises. What they do with it is up to them. Just don’t make me pay for this recycling scam.
