I recycle but my garbage company puts recycles together with the trash it seems when they pick it up

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

If I recall, it's like the majority of all recycling in United States isn't real recycling since almost all plastics. Even ones with the recycling logo aren't actually recyclable. It's like 2 out of 10 types of plastics are some nonsense.

Recycling in the grand scheme of things does f*** all into nothing. There's a reason it's the lesser of all of the r's. Reducing and reusing are the actually useful to recycling. Might as well be f****** pointless.

If we shifted back to glass bottles for everything, paper for everything, recycling could be somewhat useful but so long as we mainly use plastics recycling is just trash. It's it's pointless.

that sounds like they're defrauding you.
