are they burning the refuse in a steam-generating energy-producing facility? And, do we still have to separate?
Ah, the foibles of the Religion of Recycling.
I think China finally got tired of burning our crap, due to their air pollution problems. Now we need to burn it ourselves...just as we did decades ago.
Story mostly involves Chester PA.
This town is the biggest sh*thole that I95 runs through and has been for years.
That’s a double whammy. Not recycling and then causing more air pollution. Chalk up disaster toward globull warming.
“Green Americans” remain hypnotized to believe that recycling is good no matter what. It’s going to take a very long time for them to realize that most of the recycling is not turned into compost, or fertilzer, or fiber, or even new products and containers. Most of it was bunched together, shipped off and sold to China. Now, China is filled ‘up to here’ with recyclable material. So full that they will not accept anymore. We have two or three generations of schoolchildren indoctrinated into this. Plus their children.
So for the most part, we are better off just throwing the trash and rubbish into the trash and rubbish.
The British are far more addicted to this recycling than we are here, issuing fines for wrongful storage. That happens in the states too, just not as often, so far.
This was happening forty five years ago when recycling got BIG! People were separating their trash, placing it in different recycle bins.
Then someone followed a recycle truck which picked up all the separated material and took it to the local landfill for burial.
But everyone felt SO GOOD with themselves that they were doing their part to save the planet.
And not one peep from the usual leftist green propaganda sites.
We banned plastic straws but we don’t actually care to try and support recycling because that requires real solutions and effort.
They should ship it to Gavin Nusanses house.
The left forces us to be garbage pickers and laughs at us.
Wait til they try to figure out what they’re going to do with all of those composite industrial wind turbine blades.
Live in the country.
Burn all kinds of cardboard and plastic in my burn pit.
Keeps the trees green around the house.
Oh yeah, harvesting trees this year to keep my woods healthy.
Expecting about 10 grand for the trees.
Suck it! Eco-warriors.
HAHAHA!
We had a converse with somebody who works in recycling. He said China is refusing to take it because there’s too much non-recycle material mixed in.
Just call recyclables by their real name , Garbage
I was involved with solid waste and recycling from 2012-2015 when China first stopped taking plastics. We still put out our recycling bins so the community would feel good about itself.
You know recycling is not cost effective if the Chinese can’t even afford to do it any longer.
If the ecofreaks could figure out away to make us eat garbage they would make Governments pass all the Laws they need
My cousin’s husband is as liberal as the day is long. I was shocked to watch him throw obvious recycle items, into the regular trash. He told me he was talking to a childhood friend, whose job is to drive a truck five days a week, picking up from the recycle bins, and dropping the collection at . . . the county landfill ;)
China was mostly dumping it anyway...
So what we do is this...
We grind the stuff up and mix it with a little dirt.
Then we compress it into bricks and dump the bricks off the coast.
We expand our borders naturally that way. All the way across the oceans.
We can put a tax on people that don’t produce enough garbage to make sure they do their share.
