You may be surprised that in a lot of places at that recycled stuff ends up in the landfind with the rest of the trash. I have seen it first hand. The recycling truck backing up to the trash truck to unload. The reason being the cost.
When I was a kid (in the thirties and early 40s) there were big dump trucks for picking up the garbage. There were a couple of guys walking alongside the trucks grabbing the garbage cans and slinging them up onto the trucks and a couple of guys on top of the garbage in the truck that would dump the cans onto the pile in the truck that they were standing on. After dumping the garbage they tossed the cans back down to the walkers who would neatly stack them back along the curb. The smell coming from those trucks was unique and I can still remember it to this day. You never saw many cars following closely behind those trucks.

That sort of organic recycling worked those days because there was no plastic.

While we don’t have a T-rex recycling system, some scientists are developing microbes that eat plastic.

With us, the collectors pass by on fixed days on a calendar to empty the bins of the houses.

Is anyone concerned that this planet is 66 million years overdue for an asteroid strike, like the one that killed the dinosaurs?
