I always understood that there were recycling centers?

As I understand it (and I could very well be wrong) most ‘recyclables’ were shipped to China. China is now no longer accepting our trash, so there is no place for what we thought was being recycled to go. FWIW, much of the plastic in the Pacific has come from China. Maybe they were dumping our plastic into their rivers.

My mom’s place, in California, had two large bins. One for trash and one for recyclables. As you said, it was really no big deal.

From what I’ve read, it is no longer economically feasible to recycle much of what used to be recycled, so it goes into the landfill.

That I CAN believe——in the long run it’s always about money.
