Is your recycling bin really being recycled?
A recent story found plastic recycling is a scam and when China stopped accepting our plastics, the gig was up. Almost no recycling of any sort is done in Australia and there is not a lot of incentive to crank up the industry either.
So why are we expected to meticulously go through our rubbish to sort it into three or even four bins that take up a lot of space and are often only half full?
Check your local council website, they are often heavy on when the bins will be picked up and how to sort your rubbish, but there is precious little on where it actually goes.
Are you fed up with sorting for three bins? Is it time to call our councils into account about where our recycling goes?
I do not believe that recycling is considered a scam. Why would councils throughout Australia bother to collect millions of bins separately at a huge expense and then dispose of the recycled items onto landfill areas. Utter rubbish! Sorry about the pun!
