I don't think this works very well for soft-drink containers.
At my home in NJ, where there are no such deposits, I regularly recycle everything that is recyclable.
At my summer cabin in NY, where there is a $0.05 deposit on soft drink containers, there is also no convenient way for my to recycle containers other than soft drinks. So I do recycle the soft drinks, but juice bottles, soup cans, etc., go straight into the trash.
The action of making the one thing easier is interfering with the peripheral items.
- jawngee 15y agoIn NYC, they hire people to do the sorting at the dump site. Or, at least that's what I've been lead to believe. It's unclear how or what to recycle (Living in Brooklyn for the last 13 years). I've been in Vietnam for the last month, and the guys sort it on the back of the truck, at least in Ho Chi Minh City. Like they literally tear the bags open and sort all of it. Knowing what they pay developers here, I can't imagine what those guys are making.
- king_jester 15y agoIt's very clear in NYC what to recycle and what not to recycle: http://www.nyc.gov/html/nycwasteless/html/recycling/recycle_what.shtml http://www.nyc.gov/html/nycwasteless/html/recycling/recycle_... In fact, a lot of building owners get a flyer they can post in a common area on the building that residents can see and read, although I'm not sure how owners get those flyers (probably by mail).
