[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1565974, member: 5381"] A lot of the plastic problem is that there is a limited demand for dirty plastic. To much of what we put in the recycle tubs has not been cleaned and China has started rejecting it. No simple answer here. People are uniformed and think everything is recyclable. Most food containers are not unless they are rinsed and that is just to much trouble. Paper is just an oversupply problem. Cans are easy and carry the weight of the other products. Lots of cities are starting to charge a fee to recycle. The public needs to be educated on what is valuable enough to recycle and what is not. Its a moving target. [/QUOTE]
