here the county was going to recycle things
they soon found out that scrap metal, cardboard and aluminum cans were all that they could sell
people found out that if you saved cans you could sell them yourself
if you had iron or an old car the county charged a dump fee and then sold it
so people took that to the ironyard themselves
when the county got a truckload of glass gathered, they hauled it to the pit- no value
a couple years ago the nearby company that bought the cardboard quit buying it- now into the pit
at the same time covid meant the prisoners who did the sorting were not allowed out
the city got a deal to dump "recyclables" free instead of "trash price"
so now the old people (who don't know whats up) put out their recyclables every week
the city hauls them to the landfill and the county buries them
a waste of everyone's time and money and water
because the old people rinse out the cans before they are buried
