I do but I have a strange feeling nobody gives a single frick at the recycling center. Just a hunch

Most recycling is inefficient. The best thing to recycle is glass, because most of that just gets turned into asphalt. Most everything else takes more time and energy to recycle than you actually get out of it.

I do recycle but I dont think everyone in a municipality should be forced to pay for curbside recycling.
As posts and up/down arrows indicate on this thread, there's a market for it. A free market approach would likely be cheaper and more efficient.
As stated, the current system has the majority of items taking a more roundabout way to landfills. In other words, just a bigger carbon footprint with no effective results.
Basically, current recycling operations are a taxpayer funded giveaway to connected govt contractors.

I do.
Our municipality has curbside pick-up for everything except glass, our paper & plastic goes on a separate truck, different than the trash pick-up.
Glass we save and once every month or so Mrs. Füt (aka: The Lottery Winner) brings it to another nearby town that has a glass recycling drop-off point.
Don’t know if our recycling helps but I have enough German DNA to want to play by the rules.
PS: We’re not political liberals, just pragmatists.

Nope. If they want to save the watch that bad they can go to the land fill and get it.

We have a recycling truck and have separate bins for glass and paper. I do my part.
I started throwing any greasy cardboard in the trash after I read on here that it contaminated the other paper products in the bin.

When I lived in a Seattle suburb anything over 50 pounds of trash was charged by the pound however recycling was no charge. I got used to separating by way of 2 cans in the house so I still do it today. If my regular can didn’t fill up so fast, I probably wouldn’t.

It is bull especially now the recycling aluminum, glass, and cardboard market down.
I had lady one time ask me why one truck picks up both her recycling and regular garbage. She asked me if they had a way to sort the garbage.
I had to break the news to her that some companies use it to offset 2nd can. Truck there which is most of the cost. All they company does is give you a cost break on the second can. The one truck picks both up and bring sit to the same landfill.
Paying slot more in labor to sort it.
Then a large percentage of waste is denied due to contamination which means too entrenched in non recycling waste or dirty.
Use more fuel to bring contaminated loads to landfill.
All your doing is passing more cost onto dumping garbage.

I used to when there were options with Livingston Waste. Probably had more to do with keeping junk mail and bottles from filling up our trash can than anything.

Our county went to 1 day a wk trash and recycle pick up. So if we didn’t recycle, our garbage can would probably overflow.

It's Louisiana -- I'm surprised they even have people that come by and pick up trash.
Always recycle. Takes very little extra effort.

They quit picking up the recycle bin, in my area, so no.

I recycled my city supplied recycle container!

Think it depends where you live. Most ppl I know in Baton Rouge don’t know what goes in recycling (plastic bags, pizza boxes, styrofoam don’t go) San Fran has it down. People in Canada and most of Europe separate it before it goes to the dump.
