I lived in a rural town of 10k that informed us where everything went. Mattresses were bought by a mattress company, bottles went to coors, plastics went to Salt Lake City for detergent bottles. They did not accept plastics over #2 as a buyer couldn’t be sourced. I felt pretty confident that anything i put in my bin that followed their guidelines would get recycled, and I was more diligent in recycling when I lived there. Of course this was a municipal service in a town with a focus on environmentalism. Who knows where less scrupulous providers send their lower value recycles.
