Not only cities but entire counties are getting fed up with the recycling scam. In Franklin County people have been driving to the sanitary landfill with their clean and sorted trash, doing their part to save the environment. But after they arrive they learn that the landfill isn't accepting recyclables because the holding containers are full. The landfill tells the suckers just to drop the stuff into their regular garbage. Smokestacks in the midwest are still spewing out crap that is windstreamed to here in the Adirondacks where it becomes acid rain, destroying trees, killing off fish in ponds and lakes.
Recycling can be a rip off.
We've got better things to do than clean and sort garbage while corporations still pollute, while trash haulers don't recycle. Some of you enviro-freaks are probably shocked by this. We'll do our part when they do their share. Anyway, Planet Earth, Nature, the fugging Universe could care less about us. One world-killer meteor hits this mudball and it's all gone.
