“Metals are the only thing that is viable to recycle.”

Agree, and it’s easy to sort metal from non-metal where the trash is handled. It’s a waste of everyone’s time to do all of this sorting and returning ourselves.

I’ve taken bags of cans to a church that collects and receives the deposit from them. It just isn’t worth my time to stand in front of a machine to get the returns myself.

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.
