We can only recycle clean paper, cardboard, cans and plastic containers that are marked "1" or "2". We're probably going to flip that old ratio.
The market for recycling material has totally tanked.
The woman has been irritated by that here as well.
In SF just about anything is "recycleable"....as in it goes in the recycling truck and may or may not get recycled probably depending on cost. But the woman is happier.
Here.... only hard plastic containers/unsoiled papers/glass etc.... she's not thrilled.
I suspect the recycling program here is much more cost effective. But I don't know.
