The fact that it took 3 months to find a place to put 40,000 recycling bins is kind of ridiculous. You'd think they would be made out of a recyclable thermoplastic that could just be shredded and used in another process, but the article makes it sound like they were reused instead of recycled. I wonder what the cost savings (both in dollars and carbon units) is compared to just shredding the things?

They said either keep them for personal use or throw in the trash as they can't recycle them. (I saved a few that weren't heavily damaged from abuse over the years.)
