Ya know, I used to respect Penn Jillette; but that was [accurately labeled as] B. S.

Recycling started in 1987 with that barge from New York? Try Earth Day 1971.

Aluminum is the only metal worth recycling? What about gold?

That scripted scene with the ten source separation bins? An aware homeowner would have called them on putting compost in an open-topped container. (And the dead chicken should have gone in the dead animal bin, not the kitchen compost)

About all they established is that plastic is way overused for food packaging, trees aren't a good source for paper, and modern landfill technology has matured.
