The Penn and Teller Bullsh** episode on Recycling is a must watch. I used to be an avid recycler. Not any more. I don’t do it at all.
My spouse who is true believer in recycling would have to be sedated first.
Other than metal, I see no point in it.
I don't either. All my trash goes into the same trash bag. No sorting out of anything.
if it doesn't go to the recylers, it goes in the trash, and our garbage bill goes up...
we never donate our soda cans...we can get money for that...
the most important thing really is to reuse things...stop the tons of packaging...
The amount of energy recycling seems enormous compared to the plastic saved.
I mean just a gallon of gas spent driving to the recycling center is far more then the $0.0002 cents worth of plastic recycled.
I am all for separating it into different colored bags and then letting the sorting be done at collection centers (Welfare people need jobs) But the minimal amount of energy spent should be all that is done.
Watching that right now.

The asian guy with the 15 bins out front is pretty funny.
What's the short version? It's all a scam? It just ends up in landfills anyway?
