re: What ever happened to recycling?

I collect all my aluminum cans as well as ones that I find in parking lots, sidewalks and whatnot and cash them all in at the scrap yard at the end of the year. Easy $75 and a nice dinner out for the wife and I.
Learned this from my PawPaw who would collect them and do the same and put it towards a crawfish boil for the family and friends around Easter.

Recyclable items are a commodity. Ebbs and flows dictate

Anyone who hasn't watched it yet, go to youtube and look up Penn and Teller bullshite Recycling to get a good rundown on the bullshite of it all.

essentially only aluminum cans are actually “recycled” in any meaningful way, but the amount of fuel, money, effort spect collecting, sorting, shipping etc of recycling isn’t worth it and is basically a scam
we have recycling bins in our office and at night I see the Hispanic cleaning lady dump both in her big rolling garbage can

Nah, we'd go to Sandro's back when we lived in JP and might come out of pocket like $5 if we got wine. Here in Tuscaloosa we went to DePalma's and netted. Easy money and then we just put it on our Chase travel card and 3x the points to snowball it even more.

Have only lived in one city that actually charged every body for it and provided cans. Even then, they stopped taking glass and certain other products.
My entire county forces people to pay Waste Management for recycling whether you use them for it or not. We literally can't end the service.

You should wear a Ukraine mask when you recycle things

All you need to know about recycling is where do you sell plastic ? Aluminum got it

Because most people have realized how big of a scam recycling is

Just another scam
just like the environmental and global climate talk.
All a huge scam run by grifters.
They've been at it for 50+ years. We were all supposed to be starving to death by the year 2000.

I love the big recycling bins we get. I put all kinds of bulky stuff in there that would fill up my regular garbage can. Computer monitors, cans of paint, fluorescent light bulbs - it all goes! The truck uses an arm to pick it up so no one sees what’s in there.
In my last neighborhood, the city had an inspector who would drive around and inspect what was in the bin. If he didn’t like what he saw, he’d put a big red tag on the bin and the truck wouldn’t pick it up. The wife of the next door couple was a Cuban whose family fled Cuba when Castro came to power. She would walk the alley and rip the red tags off. A true American.

It’s a way for leftists in cities to feel “good” about their mass consumerism (“…but at least we recycle!”) while also giving them a high horse of smug elitism over the “backwards” rural areas that don’t offer/care about the scam of recycling (…”ugh can you believe they don’t even recycle there”)

Agree for plastic. Is it also true for glass and aluminum?

Everything gets recycled from the the dump. Why sort it for the govt.

Plastic waste ain’t a problem for companies to produce less. It’s your problem to use less.

Glass is made from sand and there is no shortage.
Glass that is recycled used to be broken up and used for roads but I’m not even sure a lot even goes to that anymore
Aluminum can be recycled, but the cost of collection, sorting, cleaning shipping etc. makes the case dubious. If you are going to recycle anything, aluminum cans is the way to go

Recycled material in most jurisdictions go to the same solid waste site as your trash, because recycling does not pay. It’s economics. Recycling is another environmental scam like manmade climate change.
