The three bins if separated would require three different
union jobs trained in the proper disposal of their type of
waste.
I remember the good old days when EVERYTHING went in the same can!
This must be investigated.
Calling Maxine right now.
No time to waste.
This is actually the way much of the collected recycling is handled. It isn’t profitable unless there is a processing/separation/prep/foundary/whatever within minimal driving distance.
The manager at my local govt. recycling center told me they had to pay someone to collect the newspaper recycling – there wasn’t enough of it these days that it paid for itself. So some amount of the city taxes go to pay somebody to pick up newsprint for recycling. He said they tried to get the city council to stop recycling newsprint because they lost money on it. The idiots on the city council told him they considered the “good feeling” gained from recycling it outweighed the cost of doing so. No wonder America is broke.
I’ve since taken to throwing it in the garbage with the standard trash. Why pay someone to pick it up when it will rot efficiently in the landfill?
Most recycling is a waste. A true boondoggle.
Not recycling since 1970.
Bubba’s Brother is right. I manage a Waste-To-Energy steam plant. It’s genius in its design, simplicity, and mission. I recently went on a tour of our partner in “green” waste removal. The guide must have slipped. She reported how proud they were that they finally got a buyer for their recyclable glass. This was a couple years ago, but we’ve been paying to have glass recycled for over a decade in my county. Where did the old glass go (you just can’t keep tons of it lying around)? To the landfill. No one in the region had a clue.
Like everything in the country, waste is market driven — and very competitive. Libs will never understand how that works, so they just “believe” everything is sunshine and butterflies for their pet projects.
Went through an intersection yesterday that had two police cars with lights flashing and orange cones surrounding a red jug with spilled hypodermic needles.
I guess the cops were waiting on biohazard specialists in hazmat gear to appear.
We live in a closed system (with the exception of elements whose temperatures allow them to reach escape velocities eg Hydrogen atoms).
So: ashes to ashes and dust to dust. When shit goes back into the ground it is being re-cycled. DUH!
Enviro-Nazis are living on Fantasy Island – and are too fukkin stupid to understand.
MD runs that whole re-cycling scam – charging citizens to participate in the fantasy – while sticking all the shit in the same hole. Three ramps, separated by fences, marked for the various “recyclables” but dropping into the same hole.
Yep. “Feel-Good” pabulum for imbeciles.
izlamo delenda est …
it costs me nothing to throw out my recyclables, but it costs $3 a bag to throw out my garbage at my local waste collection facility (we don’t have dumps anymore).
it’s amazing what is “recyclable” these days.
PHenry, it was prolly one of those red biohazard plastic tubs that people with diabetes or MS use to throw away their subcutaneous syringes.
Glass is Silicon dioxide (SiO2), the most common compound there is in the earth’s crust.
It actually costs more to recycle glass than it does to make new.
Recycling glass is ignorance wearing a hat.
General Waste – wasn’t that an obama appointee to the ‘joint’ chiefs of staff?
@Corona. No doubt. Mrs Henry has MS and I’m quite far with the red jug. If it spilled over I wouldn’t call a hazmat team though. I’d just pick them up.
I wouldn’t worry if I got a little prick.
Hey hey easy people. I just teed you up.

Around here those biowaste “sharps” containers are really handy. The homeless steal them from the “free” health clinic for a ready supply of hypodermic needles for their drug habit . No more dumpster diving behind the hospital!
Little missus does not believe in recycling. She thinks sweaty guys in the forest chopping down trees are better for the earth than garbologists.
Government designed firearm.
