You would think glass could be melted down in furnaces which would burn off the paper and any residue and turned into such items as medium for sandblasting. As far as plastic bags not being recycled, it would be a good reason to go back to paper bags cuz they can be completely recycled as long as they're not contaminated with food but people still use bags and cardboard boxes

So that when the cost of recycling comes down, everyone will already know how to do it...........but he said it won't happen in our lifetime.

I worked at a recycling place. People fill cans up with screws, water, etc to cheat. That’s why the price is low on cans. If you have aluminum sheet metal or something you can get decent money out of it. Or copper, brass etc. if you have some real metal just bring a bag of cans to throw in with it but it’s not worth the trip if all you have are cans. Same with steel it’s so cheap it’s not worth taking in unless you have other stuff. Copper and brass or pure aluminum is where the money is.

I find it interesting that you should bring up this subject, considering that I have been saying this for years. This is not new. The majority of the recycle goes into the trash with everything else. I even asked a representative of the refuse collection company that takes care of my collection and he told me when I pushed the issue about what you do with the recycle, and he kept saying we recycle and process it. When I pushed further and asked how do you process it and where does it go. The end result is yes they may process it for some things, but the majority of it goes right into the trash with everything else. There is no such thing as recycle. They just want us to think there is a recycling system that the government requires everyone to do. It is just a pretty picture that does not exist. The worst part is we pay for it.

I have a 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. That's the first year for the hybrid Highlander. That's 17 years with nothing but fluid changes and tire replacement. In 2008 they started to get bigger and bigger. This was one of the best investments I ever made. It still gets 27 mpg on average and i only use it for pleasure not bumper to bumper commuting. The car is as reliable and useful as is possible. Toyota builds reliable and well designed and built vehicles.

Hybrid makes ALOT more sense than total EV. Plus hybrid Toyotas recharge while driving....off brake use etc. so no electricity is needed to charge the batteries!

Best way to recycle glass was 50 yrs ago you'd take the bottles back get 2 -5 cents depending on the size they would wash them , refill them Not as cheap as throw away but made more cents not as much litter either.

I've known this for a long time. Work a construction job and go to the dump and drop off the demo trash and realize it's the same place as the recycle center (At least that's how it is in Atlantic County New Jersey). The Chinese that buy the fluff plastic dump it in the ocean and blame you for it.

I’ve read the Philippines has one of the biggest plastic recycle import contracts. There I think there the biggest country that has the biggest plastic waste in the ocean. California picks up all that waste, trucking it and shipping it all the way there. It looks like the Phillapino’s are just dumping in the ocean at night. I guess it washes right back up on California beaches ! What a Joke !

@chrisbondra2090 9 днів тому

Ever since my city started charging real estate taxes for recycling it's been a scam. We used to get money for soda bottles and aluminum cans. Now I have to pay a tax so the city can contract a private company to collect recyclables. Then that company picks out the items they can sell and sends the rest that isn't worth anything to them to the landfill. So now I pay taxes so a contracted company who gets paid to collect the recycling and then that company also gets a profit from selling certain collected recyclables and trashing the rest.

As a devout environmentalist, I was always trying to recycle whenever I could. But except for recycling aluminum, it’s all a big farce! I loaded a pickup truck with a full load of paper to recycle and got almost a dollar for the trouble. It definitely wasn’t worth it. 😡

@cornycorny2952 12 днів тому

Corrugated boxes and newsprint are very easy to recycle, saves energy, and saves trees. Mixed paper is pretty recyclable also but less valuable because of contaminants like glue and plastics relegate its use to lower quality grades. Pressed pulp egg cartons are made with recycled newsprint and also can go into the mixed paper recycle bin along with paper tubes, wrapping paper, envelope papers and office paper.

@cantwealljustgetalong2 12 днів тому

@freetolook3727 11 днів тому

Here's the recycling program in my city: You take the time to separate glass, cans, paper and plastic. You pile it nicely outside the day after garbage pickup day. The same garbage truck comes by, picks up all the recyclables, loads them together in the back of the garbage truck. The garbage truck then takes it all to the transfer station and dumps it in the same disposal units as yesterday's garbage on it's way to the landfill. Nobody is buying the recyclables so they go through the motions but recyclables end up in the same place as the garbage.

When I was a kid, about ten years old, it was difficult to earn money. I recycled soda bottles 2 cents for small ones and 5 cents for bug ones. It was a great way for me to get the money I needed to buy smokes. A pack of Camels was 18 cents. I learned about money and also how to smoke and curse. I enjoyed it all!
