Reply to comment by The-Last-Lion-Turtle in Australian research finds cost-effective way to recycle solar panels | Recycling by DrDaleks

And that's why they closed importing recycling from other countries so many places in the US are getting rid of their recycling containers because it's all going to a landfill anyways.

"Reduce" and "reuse" are the only parts of the motto that are relevant anymore.

Recycling is definitely relevant, it's just the primary problem is infrastructure not getting individual people to use a different colored bin.

Plenty of people recycle. In fact too many people recycle. Plants are over loaded and cannot process all the recycled waste so they send it to a landfill. Many things are impossible to recycle anyways like plastic film and Styrofoam.
