If something isn't obviously recyclable (like, pure aluminum, pure glass, or regular paper) I throw it into the trash. I'd rather it end up in a landfill here, where there is at least a pretense of environmental regulation, than have it shipped overseas after being rejected from a recycling process. I also watched that video, it's just so depressing. The amount of externalized costs we incur is simply staggering. When I see someone throw something away, or when I throw something away myself, I just think: "Everything you've ever thrown away is somewhere."
