In the 3rd world S-hole countries where the lifespan is around 40 they burn all their trash right in the street.
I dont see any problem burning paper or cardboard but I wont burn plastic etc.
When I was a kid every town had a dump.Once in a while they would light up a pile of old tires-you could see the inky black smoke trailing across the sky for several days.
Glad they dont do that here anymore.

LOL,, pontoon boats!, NOT a boat...should just call them UFOs, ugly floating objects.

Here, we had total recycling, it all got sorted at a facility and allegedly sold, BUT, it wasn't, a lot was trucked to an incinerator. The only thing they take now is newsprint, cardboard, and clear #1,2 plastics.
Market for everything else, including glass, collapsed. Recycling makes the do gooders feel righteous, except they never ran a business for a profit.

I hauled trash and did the recycling myself for 21 years. It was a feel-good movement that has fallen by the wayside. Monday the truck came down the street and dumped trash and recycling in the same truck. All garbage. If McD workers get $15/hr for dropping fries, how much do workers in a recycling plant have to be paid?
It's cheaper to manufacture new rather than mess around with old stuff that is mostly contaminated and unusable anyway.

I am and have been a pathological re-cycler since 1972, and will recycle the smallest scrap of anything I can. But they say 90% of what WE recycle ends up in the dump anyway, because THEY only have an interest in profit. Approx 90% of cardboard ends up as paper towels, which ends up in the trash again anyway. Trash to energy programs work fine, but only in big city's.

When your talking about life, sure, when your talking about a business of turning crap into gold, nope.

Someone has to pay for it, whether through recycling sales, or taxpayers money. My taxes are high enough thank you.

we have the trash pick up and recycle pick up here every week. Strange thing is, both trucks go to the exact same place to dump. Nothing is recycled at all.

Probably won't be worrying about what you did or didn't recycle either.

Maybe you could take recyclable objects to a place somewhere but I've not heard about it. Most people just throw everything in the trash can.

I recently went up to NY and they don't have plastic bags there. It felt like 1985 getting my groceries packed in a brown paper bag, lol.

The paper bags make good weed sapresers under mulch in the garden

I lined the bottom of a raised bed with wet cardboard yesterday. Today it will get compost on top of it.

We burn a lot of cardboard. There may be somewhere to drop it off, but I don’t know where. There is a recycling program where I live for glass, plastic, aluminum cams etc. When the garbage truck comes through, many times all the stuff you sorted out in a separate bins at the curb gets pitched in with the rest off the garbage. After seeing this on several occasions, I quit sorting out stuff. I only save aluminum cans, take them in for $ when I get a big load.
