Recycled Poly

why recycle? not my problem? LISTEN all glass card, poly,card,pet, ect is recycleble?

we need to work together on all aspects of recycling

Yes, a lot of things are recyclable, but in a lot of cases it's a matter of convenience. For a lot of plastics (anything above 2), it's almost always necessary to take the items to a recycling plant. Newspapers and office paper also have to have separate bins, but cardboard can be recycled with newspaper. Often aluminum, glass, and recyclable plastics have to be separate as well. If these things are mixed, most of the time they'll just be dumped in a landfill.

And if the closest thing to someone wanting to dispose of any of those things is just a regular old trash can, it's not going to happen.

Don't get me wrong, I'll go out of my way to recycle something, even if it means I have to carry it around all day before I find the right bin, but most people aren't that considerate. If you want to get something done about this, work on a local level to try and reduce avoidable wastes.
