recycling is a sham.
It’s a sham I’ve never played along with.
They recently put separate trash cans in my office expecting people to separate their trash. Very few realize there’s only one dumpster.
depends on the material..
Copper, iron, stainless... all great for recycling..
plastics, paper, glass, not so much.
Unless you're recycling gold, it pretty much is.
I long ago figured out that the rest of this garbage isn't worth anything and we're only doing it to feel better about ourselves. These days it all goes into the same waste containers.
something like 25 years ago I lived in NYC under a mandatory recycling regime
even then they were just bringing the recycling to the dump with everything else... it was a total sham top to bottom
I'm 68 and knew that 50 years ago.

It always has been, just like the pot metal drives of WWII.
