Hence the main problem with recycling. No reasonable person can know all the rules about plastics, what kinds of papers, etc. Why can't sorters sort it all out? Because nobody knows what to pre-sort.

Recology has probably the most complicated arrangement I've had, and, well, this is not exactly rocket surgery: https://www.recology.com/recology-san-francisco/what-goes-where/ https://www.recology.com/recology-san-francisco/what-goes-wh...
- Tempest1981 7y agoNice. What puzzles me is fast-food places with 3 bins (compost, recycling, trash) with these pictures on each -- when instead the pictures should be of the actual containers/wrappers that the restaurant uses. Wouldn't that be more helpful?
