Truth. The only thing worth recycling is aluminum

Exactly. Curbside recycling is just a soccer mom feel good scheme. It costs more to process than trash and has zero value. Except aluminum.

I sold my old aluminum siding for $160

I once read a thermodynamics study that showed that recycling was very energy use intensive. Whatever savings one thought one was getting from recycling was being burned by energy use to recycle.
