It pisses me off that you can just put whatever in the bin and it gets disappeared and you've done a great job caring for the planet. Most of it is just plain not recyclable. Never was.

Only PET can be "re" cycled, but plenty isn't. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] coolman@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago Glass and metals are recycled pretty frequently, but yeah pretty much everything is just garbage permalink fedilink source parent [–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 5 points 4 weeks ago In some less advanced countries, like the United States of America. permalink fedilink source parent
