Yup.Whats ironic is that for many recycling centers around the US, a lot of shit was sent on to china for final "processing". When that was interrupted by their virus, the places here sent them to the landfill.
I think that aluminum is the only guaranteed recyclable to be processed. Glass usually isn't, paper must be clean or its tossed. Anything contaminated with petroleum is tossed.
Those blue recycle containers are really nothing more than things to make people feel like they are making a difference. The reality is they barely are.
Theory was we would sort the material and send it back to China on all those empty container ships.
Reality is, lots of those Chinese companies then just took the stuff and dumped it in the ocean or burned it.
