      What proof do you have that your waste is being processed correctly? I have proof mine is not and plenty of news reporting from across the US in the last 5 years that says consumer curbside recycling is basically dead.

        Im calling you out for your claim that most places dump it all in the same truck. While it is true that a lot of plastic gets thrown away by the recycler, that is absolutely not true for metal, glass, and paper.

          The point of the packaging shown in the original post is pretty much that it’s more paper and less plastic … where recycling tends to work better.
