My city took away recycle bins and told everyone it's ending up in the dump anyways 🤗

Our city was the same. After years of "recycling" they finally admitted they didn't have sorting facilities so never recycled at all.

Kind of reminds me about this drop box for unwanted clothes that was located next to our waste disposal center. The purpose was to donate your unwanted items to the poor instead of into the landfill. Turned out, they only kept the like new items and trashed the rest.

As some one who rode and loaded recycling trucks in my early 20s, I can attest this is true. The three Rs were supposed to be recycle, reduce, reuse. People only recycled, but never reduced their consumption or focused on reusing the recyclable material in a responsible manner.

This was in southeaster Ontario, Halton region. Households thought it was a game, lets see who puts out the most blue boxes without ever being concerned about the environmenrlt. The "environment" was a lie sold to them by the municipal and provincial governments.

As a former publics works employee, I personally witnessed nearly a million new plastic milk jugs as well as a 40' semi trailer of used lead acid automotive batteries dumped and buried in the landfill. Market value!

I'm not going to say who but my business has 2 bins 1 for recycling and 1 for general and we had been sorting them which was a bloody pain tbh and then 1 day the bin truck hit our gate so we went through the cctv footage to get evidence of this and they put both bins in same truk

I often go to our local and largest dump (AZ) and the recycle plant burnt down years ago.. I see the recycle trucks drive to the main dump every time, its all such a scam.
