The US has been shipping recyclables to China until recently, when China refused to accept recyclables that were not clean. In short, at least the western US doesn’t recycle anymore - it goes to the landfill for the time being. Don’t know about the rest of the US, or when recycling begins again in earnest.

Do you have anything to back that up? If so, that’s more ammo in the magazine to show the absolute fallacy and stupidity of most recycling programs, especially curbside recycling.
