I flat out REFUSE to wash my garbage.

Only the diseased mind of a leftist would come up with such idiocy.

“It’s to protect the collectors.”

They can wear protective equipment, I have to at my job!

So will we eventually run out of carbon? ...and hydrogen for that matter?

If recycling made economic sense, people would be bidding for my garbage. They aren’t.

[ssaftler]

I recycle jokes.

LOL! Consider it stolen recycled.

[Bob434]

hmmm- our recycle bin is like $10 cheaper than the regular bin- gives us two bins for $10 every 2 weeks less

Metals are the only thing that is viable to recycle.

Residentially, certainly.

There are a number of viable materials to recycle where industry produces a large amount of relatively pure material that can be used elsewhere. Once it becomes mixed, even a little, even that fails.
