It's 50 years since the practice of sorting garbage for recycling became common, and for some reason that's beyond human comprehension, recycling is not yet a public utility like water and sewerage.
When told that X packaging material "cannot" be recycled, the average punter believes it (!!!) when what it really means is "We don't want to spend the capital for the equipment that could recycle it" or some other operational reason that could be easily overcome if the recycling service was state owned.
Some well-meaning people even *post* recyclables like plastic bottle tops to destinations many hundreds of kms away. Yes, really! The manufacturers get free materials, with the freight paid for by the donors. Is "suckers" too harsh a word? .
Demand that your government makes sorting and recycling of "all" waste a state- owned public utility.","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-08-02:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/ursal.zone\/users\/Bruiserzinha\/statuses\/114774240521294079\/activity","object":{"id":"https:\/\/social.marxist.network\/users\/yogthos\/statuses\/114769879948202288","objectType":"note","content":"

@yogthos<\/a> Yes. Exactly. It's 50 years since the practice of sorting garbage for recycling became common, and for some reason that's beyond human comprehension, recycling is not yet a public utility like water and sewerage.
When told that X packaging material \"cannot\" be recycled, the average punter believes it (!!!) when what it really means is \"We don't want to spend the capital for the equipment that could recycle it\" or some other operational reason that could be easily overcome if the recycling service was state owned.
Some well-meaning people even *post* recyclables like plastic bottle tops to destinations many hundreds of kms away. Yes, really! The manufacturers get free materials, with the freight paid for by the donors. Is \"suckers\" too harsh a word? .
Demand that your government makes sorting and recycling of \"all\" waste a state- owned public utility.<\/p>","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-08-02:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/theblower.au\/users\/anne_twain\/statuses\/114772233264283950","object":{"id":"https:\/\/theblower.au\/users\/anne_twain\/statuses\/114772233264283950","objectType":"note","content":"
