re: Do you reduce, re-use, and, most pertinently, RECYCLE?

Absolutely not.
Most of the cities with recycling pickups have been caught just dumping it at the landfill with the regular trash. There are tons of stories of this happening all across the country.

Got to hold on to them. Starting to notice places just out right not use plastic bags anymore.

I usually help nature when I'm out goofing around in the woods on a day hike. I pack out whatever I brought with me and carry an extra trash bag to take out any extra trash I come across.
A friend of mine buys almost all her crap off Craigslist so she doesn't add new things to our environment. I commend her but I personally wouldn't go that far.

So you poop in the woods?

There's no recycling centers/programs where I live, so everything goes in the trash.
It's not even worth collecting beer cans anymore. You can bring a pickup bed full of garbage bags of crushed cans, and you might get a couple of bucks. I have family in Michigan. I wish it was like there and you get $0.10 for every glass bottle you bring to the grocery store. I'd be drinking long necks like a mfer.

If I need to, of course I do. There are privies staged along trails or if none is available, there are procedures to poop in the woods. Must walk at least 200 feet from the trail and stay 200 feet from water sources to prevent contamination. Dig a cat hole in the ground at least six inches deep that you poop in and cover afterwards. I usually put a rock over my covered poop so no one else tries digging in the same spot. Same to take a piss, should walk off the trail at least 50 ft.

If I have to shite bad enough that I need to shite in the woods I don’t have time for all of that.

When the waste management company started leaving us only one trash bin recycling stopped since all trash goes into one bin.
Also, the local landfill stopped proving bins for metals, glass, plastics, paper, etc., recycling stopped there as well.

Ive toured our recycling facility. I have watched their recycling line in action. Its a nasty job as people put all kinds of nasty trash in their recycle bin. Workers pull trash off the line by hand and it goes next door to the landfill.
They keep almost all cardboard, aluminum and certain plastics. I have seen the packaging machines that condense them into big blocks to be sold. Hell they even have a styrofoam melter thing.
I know it isn't a massive business, but it is revenue generating when they sell it back.

I would recycle if they picked it up from my street but Im not going out of my way to recycle. I re-use when its convenient

I recycled at our old house because the trash company provided it with trash pickup. At my new house they charge $10 a month extra for a recycling bin, and have requirements on how it's loaded, so no thanks.
It's ridiculous to me that they charge extra to recycle.

I am OCD when it comes to waste not, want not, and recycling.
The recycling part I am sure is in vain.

I reuse grocery store bags and recycle stuff I know will get recycled. Most things don't get recycled though.

I dated a chick executive from a big garbage company for a bit.
even she said recycling is a waste of time

Yes I recycle almost religiously and will pick up any trash that I find when I am out in nature, fricking drives me up the wall when people disrespect the outdoors. I have it so bad that I even cut the plastic 6-pack rings before disposing of them.
Posted on 8/31/23 at 10:21 am to TexasTiger33
I recycle cardboard boxes but that's pretty much it.

I do try to reduce and re-use. That is something that I can at least control.

I used to audit landfills. I've seen the recycle trucks dumping right next to the garbage trucks
