I’m asking this because my uncle works at a landfill in Pennsylvania, and he told me that a good 50% of the garbage they get from NYC is the sorted recycling (from apartment buildings) in clear plastic bags. Anyone know?
After my neighborhood stopped recylcing, my family started hauling all of our plastics to a recycling center 30 minutes away. We got more conscious and started recyclin everything. I don’t throw away batteries, fluorescent lights (I have a huge pile.. ehh), I watch what I pour down the drain, and I try to save water, but what is the point. I go to a neighbor’s house and see that they drink bottled water and every bottle they drink is thrown in the trash. I see people throwing litter on the ground. I see people just trashing the planet, so how can I not feel like the effort I put into recycling is pointless? It just makes me sick.
We have recently had to take our recycling rather than it be picked up. The bin we take it to is commingled recyclables- which means that it all goes in together. It made me wonder, is there someone that recycles all of this by dividing out the glass, paper, etc. or does it all just go to the landfill with the regular trash anyway?
