I read an article about this many years ago. But I still continue to recycle. It’s an addiction. I really should stop. I think the only thing really worth recycling are electronics and metals.
same here. I've read about it being a waste but my OCD tells me to bag the plastic anyway.
but if I just throw out my bags, how will I ever find my missing receipts?

Our township has two bins. One is for garbage, for which they charge by the bag deposited, and the other is for recyclables which is free.
It’s a good system but needs constant policing or people will toss their garbage in the recycle bin.
The modest cost of tossing garbage is an inducement to throw non-garbage items in a separate garbage can, but without the need to sort, flatten, etc., so there’s effectively no additional labor involved.
I’m pretty sure all the garbage company does is sort out the aluminum cans and dump the rest right now, given the Chinese situation, but I could be wrong.
Those are about the only things.
All the rest, 86 it. I have 0 problems with junking regular stuff.
I never have recycled. We bring our stuff to the dump (transfer station) which now has two guys on hire.
either the recylers get the cardboard, newspaper, tin cans, glass bottles or the garbage man does...
of course I do keep the aluminum cans to get money for them on my own...
we also save brass,copper if its around. I take apart old computers, etc and bring the circuit boards in.
I'm just doing my little part.
