How Misleading Labels Are Overwhelming Recycling Facilities
source
My 65 yr old bother is stuck homeless in his car in L A
He walks 5mi plus most days and collects recycling stuff…makes $25 – $60
When he’s not too sick or weak😒but…. He does know what is worth cash$$
Waste foods needs to be separated from regular trash. SKorea mandates foods garbage separated from the rest of trash pick up. Food garbage truck pick up only food disposal.
Yes!!! I know so many people who don’t know what they can recycle.
Everything is recyclable!!! Just throw it in. They will figure it out
Recycling always been a scam since it was introduced. We been duped.
The unused gauge sadly roll because fiction syntactically attend with a mountainous picture. abject, bright respect
Plastic can be turned into fuel.
I've known this awhile. I only throw #1 and #2 in there. I usually compost cardboard. I'm happy they're spreading the word though
Went not just scrap the .labeling system and have a new 🔣 symbol for real world recyclable items while phasing out all other types?
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make money
Thanks for the really confusing system…
Wow, thank you. Good to know.
Why am I not surprised at this.
The only easy solution is pyrolysis. You can convert all of these miscellaneous plastics into some usable fuel instead of it being sent to landfill or incinerated. The pyrolysis process is supposed to be more energy efficient too.
Have mercy on me humanity. I need help. Desperate.

I think grocery stores or any store that sells items with a CRV ( the fee or tax you pay and get back if you recycle), I think they should add to the receipt, the total the CRV people pay, on their grocery receipt, at the bottom of the receipt, so people can SEE how much they are paying for CRV fees. This would encourage people TO RECYCLE and SEE how much money they are throwing away if they don't recycle!
I read the waste management instructions, I clean and sort my recyclables, as well as try to reduce use of a lot of waste. Only after I went to the transition site, after I was treated like I was trying to avoid dump fees, did I learn more about the DETAILS that waste management had neglected to include in their instructions. i.e. Cardboard. Recyclable. BUT not the shiny sort; not with tape or labels on it; not with marker pen or grease pen marks. Those have to be cut off. What is left IS recyclable. These instructions are still not included on their recycling instructions to this day.
When cardboard arrives full of contaminations the whole thing is put into he dump lot.
SO, on site, in front of the worker, i cut out what I now i understood was the offensive waste and handed the permitted cardboard to them. They showed me where to throw away the trash, no charge. It became amicable for a united effort, but it was insulting and unnecessary at the beginning of my education on recycling cardboard. Maybe more detailed instruction on plastics as well as cardboard is in order, instead of just running copy about the problem and making it appear one-sided (the consumer).
Also, just plastics in general, have taken over the world. Everything is wrapped, or double wrapped, or triple wrapped. Clamshells and take out containers are overabundant. Encouragement to use your own reusable bags, pre-weighed, or personal containers for produce and take away would be helpful.
Plastic is cheap until it isn’t. Cheap in manufacturing cost and selling to production and vendors of products, but not in the long run as it contaminates mothers’ breast milk as they fed their infants. It Contaminates the further reaches of the South Pole, hundreds or thousands of miles from civilization. The oceans are strangled with our wastes plastic.
We need to stop pointing fingers at ‘one’ piece of the puzzle, and each of us look to our position in the ‘feed’ of information and how our particular role along the line can improve positive changes. Waste management needs better detailed (with clear photos as needed) information.
Producers of plastics of all kinds need to retire old inefficient labels and even their practices and designs, if we want to go to the source of the plastics issue.

So much isn’t recycled
With the backwardness of our economy, increment in the price of gas, alarming rates of unemployment. I must confess our country have taken a wrong turn. Vividly I don't know how else to carter for my expenses.
Germany have advanced recycling system than America. The most powerful country ghee!
If the product is not recyclable it should not be allowed to be sold in the state
So now I should only recycle what they can sell?
California was supposed to raise the redemption value have they?
Not for nothing but I literally have to separate the different plastics so the people that do this give me a job.
Its a political problem not ours
