Unfortunately it seems that in many places, that's pretty much what they're doing instead of doing any actual recycling. If you collect more than you're capable of processing, you inevitably just end up with an ever growing TO-DO pile.

The sad thing is, if you pretend to recycle instead of actually recycling, you're just a landfill operator. And landfills can be run profitably.

In my city, there is a GIANT pile of glass sitting on a slab near a landfill. The commodity price of glass is so low it's not worth selling, so they just store it in hopes of maybe one day selling it. I doubt that will happen and I suspect it's just been put into the landfill by now.

The glass recycling in my area is hauling my glass to a container and it gets turned into fiberglass.

not bad, not bad at all, except for the whoh!man! that a bit too real, but it is actualy implimentable on a very short time frame and exceptionaly low budget, so I will be including that (your?) idea, into my own ,not infrequent rants

Everything is recyclable.

What do you think oil and coal come from...?
