thank god that we have only 3 containers where i live
standard trash, paper and biological waste
we could much more for recycling however, a lot of trash just gets burned in garbage incineration facilities
i know a guy, who works at one and he claims that even yellow bags get burned at times, when they dont have enough standard waste around to produce the electricity they are selling
We've had a waste incinerating facility sewing the state, because it didn't keep their end of they deal in providing the agreed volume to burn/year. And there are still problems with recycling being more expensive than burning, and producing the new product from raw materials. Resulting in our garbage being sent to China in the recent past to be processed there and to Poland right now, where it sometimes meets the "garbage maffia". ^
Recycling does cost money, and with everybody helping out a bit it's being made cheaper. The real question is: how can we change the behavior of our citizens, to not only want to recycle more, but actually doing it as well
Ow and do we tackle smaller bottles thrown on the streets with pfand as well ?
