Two other things that were not mentioned in the video were "single stream" recycling, and that just how much of the recycling that 'just goes back to the landfill' is caused by a-holes that intentionally place things like soiled diapers ( and others disgusting things that I shall not mention ! ) / pizza boxes / left over half eaten food, etc. into the recycling bins.
I see it all the time.
With "single stream" recycling, you don't have to sort your trash - the city does it.
'Single stream' recycling was put into effect a year or two ago here in Austin, and it does have it's faults ( several - for instance the trash was hauled almost 100 miles to the sorting facility. )
Everything has to start off somewhere, and yes, recycling has not been perfected in over 40 years, but i hope this next generation changes that.
