My previous employer just put signs on all the trash cans that they were processed for recycling after collecting. That always sounded like bullshit.

It’s called “single stream recycling”. We have it where I live. I wish I could have confidence in any recycling these days. Too many stories of separated trash all ending up in the dump anyway.

The problem is that mixing everything means massive contamination, so only metal is going to really get pulled out.

Only the metal should be pulled out. Plastic recycling is a scam invented by the bottling companies and there’s not a single plastic bottle that couldn’t be replaced by paper or aluminum. Even the plastic lines cardboard cartons use less plastic overall.

There’s plenty of paper that could get recycled as well that can’t in a single stream. I agree plastic going to a landfill is better though.
