Here's background on the general uselessness of recycling:

As I said, aluminum cans used to be all recycled until they redesigned them. Now there're so much easier to crush. Not impressive to do so anymore.

I remember the old days of backing up and tossing stuff into a pit. Tamworth was the last community I lived that practiced that. 1999 or 2000. Now we all buy into the bogus belief that we are running out of space to do that.

Yet even the EPA says the risk of such places is minimal to the environment, if one reads the link.

The emperor has no clothes. A lot of what we "recycle" does in fact get incinerated. The reason being there are buyers for the stuff. Newsprint is a big example of this. It's still marginally cheaper to cut down trees in Canada where they're plentiful and make pulp out 'em then to expensively recycle old news print. Until the technology improves, it should stay that way for years longer.

Are we running out of space for cemeteries, too?
