I hate recycling but we do it.
Our RM doesn't provide recycling bins for the rate payers so we use my parent's in town.
Only household waste is plastic that isn't coded for recycling.
I really question the economics of it. Does the recycling process...everything from collection, transportation, warehousing, sorting, more transportation, actual processing, more transportation, administration, ad nauseum leave a bigger environmental foot print than just burning it or land filling it before the whole process starts?
And what's with floating boatloads of "recycling" around the world really accomplishing?
Hard to make sense of some of this.....other than people getting a warm fuzzy feeling doing it. But we do do our part.
I tease the local Ag Chem retailer that I'm going to start pushing Croplife to start a recycling program for the cardboard boxes the pesticides come in. Funny to watch him lose his mind.
