    Ugh, don’t get me started on how shitty my local plastic recycling is. I would probably use it more if I didn’t have to purchase a bin for it each time. At first I was like, okay whatever I just have to buy one bin, but no they throw the whole thing in the back of the truck, which is why we can’t use a cardboard box.

    Who comes up with this shit??

      Wtf? We get city provided bins that get picked up bi-weekly. Is this not the norm?

      Having to buy a new bin for each load is absolutely wild.

        They provide three bins, one for glass, one for paper, and one for aluminum. I reuse glass, compost paper, and aluminum gets sold for scrap value, so I get very little use out of my recycling service. I cannot use one of the unused bins for plastic recycling either, I tried.

        I hate it so much. It’s an absolute mockery of environmentalism.
