Who cares, it’s a scam anyway.. I throw everything in the recycling bin.. including greasy pizza boxes.
China used to collect our recycleables but since then stopped.
Several years ago I read up on the recycling program in Tucson, AZ. I’d imagine it’s about the same around the country. The numbers may be a bit off, but here’s what I recall:
Tucson was paying the recycler $2/ton to accept, sort and sell (dispose of) consumer recycled materials. Tucson charged $1/ton to dump stuff in the landfill.
Guess where the majority of the “recycling” ended up.
