I have told this story before.

Many years ago one of my fellow employees at our high rise urban office decided to stay late and spy on the janitorial service to see what they did with the blue recycle bins in the building.

The janitorial service transported them down the service elevator and dumped them in the regular trash bin outside the building after making sure nobody was looking—we all had a good laugh about it.

We did not rat out the janitorial service—since it was clear they had nowhere else to put the trash.

Recycling is for metal and glass.

Paper and plastic can be burned for energy (Nashville has, or used to have, such a plant).

If recycling made economic sense, people would be bidding for my garbage.

Exactly...a waste of resources for folks to feel good.

My little burg decided it was too messy or something to recycle glass. So they quit taking it. If you want to recycle it, you have to take it to them.
Glass...the most recyclable of recycling.

No thanks ...they aren’t serious.

“She’s a moron. Recycling is a scam.”
Yep, my kid brother owns a construction company in Arizona. They had a job that lasted a little over a year at one of the county landfills. He told me that most of the “recycled” stuff that wasn’t metal ended up being buried with everything else.

Yep. It’s a jobs program for made up “jobs”.

Recycling is a scam.

MOST recycling is a scam.

Our plastic waste in northern NH goes to a recycling plant in Groveton, NH owned by a fellow from Quebec.

It gets processed into diesel fuel and home heating oil.

10% of our home heating oil is this recycled plastic.

It burns really clean.

I remember hearing years ago that all/most of the recycling drives during WWII were a scam, just to make people feel that they were helping the War Effort.

Our garbage bills went up because of it. We all should be pissed.
