Recycling

This just scratches the surface.
If your city/recyclers aren't bitching about all the bad recyclables. They are most likely sending your recyclables to a landfill.
Tipping fees: The cost per ton at a landfill, the cost per ton to recycle.
Example: Landfill $150/ton. Recycle $250/ton
Small print in contracts may stipulate that if the spread is greater than X, go to the landfill.
Or worse yet, charge the recycle rate but send to landfill and split the profits.
This business has been corrupt long time.
Besides, landfills of today are hundreds of times better than they used to be. This article makes landfill sound like a bad thing, it snot.
Recycling needs to be much more rigorous to be effective.
Test my theory. Put non recyclables in your recycle bin and see if anyone says anything. They won't.
My opinion based on "some" inside knowledge.
