I always wonder about these programs. IF they actually recycle a can or a bottle, what does it cost to do it?
I don’t recycle anything.......
It’s quite a story...... and then,
“This year, CalRecycle has removed 19 recycling centers from the program and launched reviews of 256 others.”
Apparently can recycling makes SOME economic sense but when government hands out cash, people are going to cheat
I don’t recycle anything.......

I did.
The garbage guys became such jack-azz garbage Nazis that I finally quit.
They would pick through throwing stuff into the yard that they didn’t like.
The recycle game got so bad that I started feeling like Bill Murray in Caddyshack.
I don’t recycle anything.......I recycle. I throw everything in the garbage can, then the homeless come around on pick-up night, sort it and take what they want and never leave a mess.
BTW, recyclying glass is another joke. I replaced some aluminum framed windows and called a few recyclers about taking the glass seperate from the aluminum...FREE. No one would take it, they ONLY take glass bottles with redemption value.
I don't know how widespread the use of those devices is but even in states without return deposit systems aluminum cans are reported to have about a 90% rate of recycling.
So, here's the fraud ~ the idea that California through the misuse of state authority can make a significant impact in recycling aluminum cans.

Me neither. But then I don't have much to recycle.
I only recycle pizza boxes. Nothing else.
One pizza box can destroy a whole batch of recycled cardboard.
I do. About once a day, I pee outside.
