I was in elementary school when they pushed the whole recycling thing. We spent time in class learning what could be recycled and why. So spent my whole adult life separating into the color specific bins only to watch them dump them both into the truck and mix them up. I felt like a real dumb dumb for putting in so much effort for so many years.

You aren't dumb, you've just been let down by a broken system.

Lol right? When I first saw how this was being handled I fully called bullshit. No way the city hires enough people to sort through all that. The scale of work it would take is massive and would be nigh impossible based on today’s rampant consumerism.
