I don't understand why there's so little education in America about what is recyclable and what isn't. When I lived in Japan, every district in most cities had detailed documentation about what goes where on what day, how to clean it, etc. When you go to restaurants, there's images of the items that are recyclable on their respective recycle bins and images of what goes in the trash on the trash bins. There's also drains to pour out pet bottles, etc. Is it that hard to spread some basic documentation about recycling?
