Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you recycle?

Was at the county "Transfer Station" (i.e. collection point before the county landfill) today.

Lady in front of me was taking forever, different types of plastics, cardboard, steel cans, paper products, 4 different colors of glass, aluminum cans. All carefully rinsed out at home and sorted... then "recycled".

Simple yes or no question... and simply why... or why not.

Thanks

Yes

No.

Well....we reuse a lot of shìt...and get mostly hand me down clothing.


But recycling....no. It's bad for the environment, is a tax or wealth transfer, encourages consumption, and more often than not.....ends in the landfill anyway.


So...it's great for big business and the govt.

Bad for consumers and the planet.

No…because I’m lazy.

Yes, our paper, plastics, and food cans are collected every other week. Isn't difficult for me.

Burn everything that will burn and the rest goes in the dumpster. I have 25-30 years left max, WGAF.

Yes.


At work we had two sets of trash bins - regular trash bins and recycling bins for paper, cans and such. I was working late one night and the Serbian janitor was coming through emptying them. He emptied both types of bins into the one large trash bin he was pushing around...

Cash;
Good evening to you sir, I hope you're keeping warm and well.

We do recycle as much as possible, yes.

Like trying to buy stuff made in Canada or the US, I figure it's a start?

All the best to you all.

Our recycling effort got chit canned because it was too expensive for a county of our size. I guess you recycle aluminum cans at the metal place.

NO

but I will haul bulk scrap metal to the payscale

Best way to get cash to buy booze the wife doesn’t know about.

Shopping sprees at harbor freight

They gave us 3 bins on wheels for curbside pick up, one for garbage one for recyclable stuff and one for green waste.. stuff that composts. So ya I guess I do.

All quite true, but rather than act out of spite, I do recycle many things. Paper, batteries, and plastic, though, get burnt. The solution to pollution, etc., and way out in the boonies where I live I'd put more emissions into the atmosphere hauling it to the recyclers than simply adding it to the regular burn pile.

Thought about getting myself a garbage truck off of govdeals. The market is ripe out here for trash service.

Everyone has to deal with the 3-toed diabetic retard at the Transfer/Convenience Center.

No. Not even an option.

I recycle brass and lead.

So yes i do.

aluminum cans. the only one that makes sense in rural Arizona.

Maybe y'all should Google "The truth about recycling."

Recycling collection costs multiple times more in taxes than trash collection does.

China banned recycled plastics exported to China in 2018. No other country accepts them now.

91% of recycled items are incarcerated, dumped in the ocean or go directly to the landfill.

Quite literally the only recycled item to be "Worth the effort to recycle" are aluminum cans.

Prove me wrong... please.

Yes.

By recycling and using two cans, what I pay is less than what I would pay on a single can large enough to meet my needs. I additionally separate out aluminum which goes to a church youth group and steel and copper/brass which goes to my toy fund.
