Do me a favor Wayne. In the past couple weeks there have been at least four threads on the fallacy of recycling, especially curbside residential recycling. Look those up and read through them. I’ll bet your opinion changes.

I have been reading them and that's partly why I come to this conclusion. I also know a lot of engineers and my Dad was an engineer. I'm not an engineer but I am a fan of good engineering and problem-solving. I see in recycling a lot of problems but I think if someone made a list of them and assigned the proper team of engineers to each problem the teams could knock them down and make recycling feasible.

There is not a will to do it so it probably won't happen. It always makes me sad to see problems I know can be solved but won't be. However, I see a lot of those in the world so it's something I live with.

The one the OP cites from the NYT is even good, plus, https://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.freerepublic.com+recycling&safe=active&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:m&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiXmq7Zm_vgAhVNON8KHY4ABkMQpwUIJg&biw=1907&bih=674
