Some of my neighbors still sort out all the different kinds of glass, cans, paper, etc. I watched the truck years ago and saw they dump it all into one bin. Most of the recyclables aren’t worth the labor to pick up and sort them.
Truth. The only thing worth recycling is aluminum
Overzealous recyclers, in their desire to avoid waste, are too often tossing everything from banana peels to wooden picture frames to broken cellphones into blue bins, ignoring the posted rules.
Today, about a quarter of everything consumers place in recycling bins ultimately can’t be recycled by the programs that collect them. This includes such items as food waste, rubber hoses, wire, low-grade plastics, and many other items that overly hopeful residents toss in.
