The latter half of your comment is why I dont even bother. The "recycling" here is picked up and dumped into the same truck, there is no separation facility, just a landfill/incinerator.

Im not paying extra to lie to myself.

i lost faith in recycling the more I read about it.

especially when most recycling is sent to poor countries to be burned, and if it is actually recycled it is then shipped back again as a single use spoon, then sent back... all the way to less quality materials, and some uses are for fleece that produces a shit ton of microplastics.

real solutions is to ban single use plastics (maybe exceptions for medical uses).

now I'm in the States and I have no idea how to recycle where I am anyways.

We have separate trucks here, but I was behind the recycling truck one day and watched it pull into the landfill.

I remember my home district had one spot that handled both trash and recycling, so maybe there’s a chance of it still getting somewhere useful.

Nope, I've been to the landfill plenty of times, and there's no separate spot for recycling. The company that picks up the recycling is a private company not affiliated with the municipality.
