That will save me like $5.49 a month.

Some of the crunchy folks are upset because they love the planet and stuff. I read that only 1% of the shite people put on the curb actually gets recycled.

Recycling is mostly a scam. More inefficiencies occur as a result of waste than just landfilling it.

They get to just pick it up directly off the road where most people throw it now.

People are starting to realize that recycling is fake.

Years ago, i tried to do that and it was always a hassle as to what they would take and not take.

The best thing about recycling in most places is the extra trashcan you get.

Municipal recycling programs are usually a slush fund for city leaders to steer recycling contracts to their friends.

I remember the LSU dining hall had a place for you to bring batteries to recycle. People just threw their food waste in there.

Where I worked they had separate waste baskets for plastic bottles & cans. They had green garbage bags in the to note they were recyclable. I asked the janitor what they did with the green bags. They put them in the trash compactor with the black bags. LOL. CEO thought she was saving the planet.

It's mostly good just for having a second can to pile all the boxes in so it doesn't clog up my other can.

But our recycling service blows. We just went 6 weeks without a pickup.

The bins were great. I used them to hold all of my kids' sports balls and some equipment.

I think they are going to work on a plan that you can sign up if you want vs forced. Don’t need another bill.

I suspect that the time, energy, and resources required to try to recycle are worse for the environment than not recycling.

Further admission that recycling was a fraud all along.

Just like climate change.

They don’t actually recycle anything really unless you go yourself and separate the glass and plastics yourself at the facility

The best part of recycling is the extra can for my wife's Amazon boxes. That's all I put in there but it's worth $5/mo
