They can be recycled at a distance of 100-200 yards.
Very interesting, but I hear nobody is actually recycling recyclables.
While I dutifully put “recyclables” in a special container for pickup, I believe that large portions of these materials end up in landfills anyway. Other than steel and aluminum cans which can easily be separated and recycled, most of the rest is difficult to recycle and their recycling depends on what local recyclers are available and prevailing markets. Local governments that demand recycling should be mandated to annually inform taxpayers how much of these products are actually being recycled and the cost of the recycling program.
