I always do the plastic bottles and cans and glass before going to the trash chute. However last fall after I carefully did my separating, I saw one of the people who work there take a crib and matress and toss all of the parts in the "garbage only" chute. Seemed to be both a waste of a good crib that had been carefully set aside, and a breaking of the rules for garbage. Oh well. I like the men who work there though and find them really helpful.
Recently I read that only the level one things ever get recycled. The other levels end up being burned and releasing all the junk into the air. Has anyone else heard about this?
