I used to recycle my
stuff at the village recycling station in various bins: paper in one,
glass in another, alicans in another, plastic bottles (please flatten
them) in another. Then I started to make trips to the big recycling
centre in the nearby town because they also had bins for other
recyclables (wood, metal, rubble, etc).
But now I have a
wheelie bin with a blue lid courtesy of the local district council.
And EVERYTHING (except organic waste) goes into it: paper, cardboard,
glass, alicans, plastic bottles (please flatten them), metal etc....
Now, dear reader, I
don't mind dumping everything in a blue-lidded dumpster, but I can't
shake off the question that keeps buzzing in my head: how do
they separate all this stuff when they get it to their Separator
Plant (or whatever they call it)? Metal with a magnet
perhaps, but how about the rest?
I'll be honest with
you: I will go on saving the planet, singlehandedly if I have to, but
my heart just isn't in it any more. Mysteries demoralise me.
