RE:RE:Recycling has become a joke, a fraud and waste of money

Is a corruption scam to line to pockets of civil servants. The money all civil servants are subject to standard unexplained wealth audits avery 2 years our dovenmwnts become 20% more effecient. Canada just sends/ sent all it's compacted trash to other countries anyway or was dumped in the oceans. Now with feds to classify all plastics as toxic looks like heartland should just be mothballed and write the investment off as yet another poor Soviet socialist commercial idea on the backs of mom and pop taxpayers.

Recycling is a function of economics, and bureaucrats have no concept of economics, especially if they're on a virtuous mission. Recycling used to take place as a business, at no cost to government. Now it's a racket that costs a fortune and requires double the cost to pick up the garbage. We used to get garbage pickup twice a week; now it's every two weeks, alternated with semiweekly 'recycling' (which mostly ends up in the garbage anyway, and which used to be shipped halfway around the world until they didn't want our garbage any more).
As the great philosopher, Ringo Starr, said in the 1960s:
"Everything the government touches turns to sh*t."
Anyway, this is fun; even Portlandia knew it:
