I’ll answer it.

Stop making us recycle everything except aluminum cans. Because recycling anything else is a pure money loser.

Recycling metals in general and paper/cardboard makes sense.

Those were recycled before it was “cool”.

Yep. China quit taking our recycled material because, 1. It was cross-contaminated with other crap and, 2. It's cheaper to use raw materials to make stuff.

I have a question about aluminum cans. Do beer cans have to be rinsed as I would rinse a can that had tomatos in it? Isn’t any trace of alcohol remaining in a beer can already clean?

My pontificating ass of a brother was smart mouthing me about recycling...

I asked him ‘What do you do with your dryer lint?”

He huffed & puffed & said—I throw it away—just like everyone else.

I told him “I RECYCLED IT BY USING IT TO START HE FIRES IN MY WOOD STOVE-—WHICH HEATED THE WHOLE 2553 SQ FT LOG HOUSE I OWNED.” He stopped his berating.

metals of all types are worth recycling, as is clean corrugated cardboard, which is made from paper made using the kraft process, and possibly clean office paper ... right now it appears that not too much else can be economically recycled, even container glass ...
