I will ALWAYS compost veggie scraps and garden waste and will burn what I can - but I might not always ‘recycle’ as I should. I will crush cans and save aluminum for cash, but it’s not an obsession by any means.
However, he makes a good point that those stuck in Liberal Cities or, ‘In Town’ as we call them, have to have a place to keep their recyclables until pick-up day which can be messy and stinky in the heat of summer.
I live in the boonies and have NEVER had a problem getting rid of anything; I haul it to the ‘curb’ and it’s gone in sixty seconds. ;)
I ‘release’ it back into The Universe and if someone else wants to profit from it, so much the better. :)

My wife and I make bets on how long a discarded item will sit on the side of the road. Our last bet was on a chest freezer that the compressor went out on, it made it 14 minutes before it was loaded into the back of a truck.
