My neighbors are unhappy to learn that the trash they’ve carefully sorted for years into brown bottles, green bottles, cans, and paper is being dumped back into one pile at the local landfill.

They are just figuring this out??

The Recycling guys have been doing this around my way for years ... and we pay extra trash fees for this too

I have to admit the funniest .. well actually the stupidest recycling story I've heard, was a few years ago when a street near me was repaved using recycled glass

Everyone kept getting flat tires .. so then the local township had to do a study to find out why so many flat tires were occurring on the street made from recycled glass

Actually, that's not as stupid as you make it sound. Recycled glass is crushed to the size of small grains of sand and added to road repaving materials, recycled rubber (e.g., for railroad crossings) and to plastics to make them extremely strong and durable. Pretty standard and intelligent use of recyclables.
