I recycle zero and not ashamed.
Anyone who knows the truth about paper and cardboard recycling (and probably a lot of the rest) knows that it is a complete sham.
I used to be paid good money 8 years ago for truckloads of paper and cardboard that I recycled. Now I have to pay to have it hauled away and sent to landfill or incinerator because there is such a glut of the stuff. Really, this is true - Now that everyone is recycling there isn't anywhere NEAR the market for this stuff and a lot of it is a big waste of effort and costs towns a lot of needless money.
