How much of the material that is collected for recycling ends up in landfills?

It depends on the material and the local market for recycled material. Some office parks and government centers in my area do a good job of recycling paper and plastic bottles.You can dig into the details here: https://www.epa.gov/facts-and-figures-about-materials-waste-and-recycling/national-overview-facts-and-figures-materials#recycling
