At this point one must be a full-blow retard to live in Commifornia.

We sell plastic to 3rd world countries then make new. We pay crv, pay waste management to then they sell it.

@Lemmiwinks So your neighbor threw his deceased wife’s jewelry in the trash and then complained that the trashmen were stealing it?

Insanity indeed.

Ever see the Sopranos? Don't piss off the Mafia because garbage is their bread and butter.

It's called CONDITIONING.
Government wants to control you. They come up with this nonsense to see how far they can
push you into doing what THEY say.
In southern California, they had their minions wearing masks and all sorts of garbage that a lot
of us in flyover country refused to do.
California is just a state waiting for the "big one" to slide it off into the ocean to increase property
values in Nevada, Arizona etc when they get "beach front property. LOL

Here they go through the motions then discard it in the landfill after getting the recycling money. How do you keep other people from throwing things in your bin anyway?

My neighbor caught our trash men sifting through his can and stealing his deceased wife’s jewelry. Fucking insanity

I think here i heard its like 20% of it actually gets recycled. And its costing a shit ton just to recycle that 20% we actually do.

All goes in the same garbage pile. lol

get that grant money

It's just an excuse to have an extra bin to me
