I don't know how it works in the States--but the ironic thing is in Iceland, they SHIP the recyclables to SWEDEN for processing. Yes, they don't have the means to actually recycle things here--so they put it on a ship and send it to another country, and they actually buy it from us (because it's become a valuable commodity, in some strange way). But you can imagine the inefficiency and irony in the whole thing... very weird.
