Paper, Cardboard, aluminum (any semi+ valuable metal), and glass.
The easiest recycled things, that work the best recycled.
Plastic recycling is a fucking joke at this point.
Glass, becomes glass. There is a company that no longer needs to sort color. Paper and cardboard become paper... Aluminum (so on) becomes fucking aluminum (or so on)...
I'm with you on all of this. I think glass jars are worth keeping for other uses.
Glass jars are. They make excellent misc holders for the garage and the lid can be glued to a board to hold it store the jars in the air.
Glass and aluminum recycling has an energy cost that surpasses any savings that you get from it.
See we always say new glass costs x and recycling glass costs y... but do we really consider the actual costs of the cleanup and such down the road... No we say that cost doesnt exist.
I am not a climate fag, we cannot buy our way out of the bullshit global warming, co2 levels, ozone layer, all the oil being gone... and other made up shit.
We can however, keep from dumping shit into large piles of garbage because we dont want to cover the cost of cleaning up after ourselves.
Its an energy cost, we can cover an energy cost to not put that shit into a place where it just sits until we decide to clean it up.
That also doesnt explain how fucking bums are still selling pounds of aluminum to scrap yards...
Recycling aluminum is the number one way to get aluminium its easier to recycle than make new.
