When I lived in NJ a long time ago there was a scandal. We were by law forced to do recycling and my mom and I took it to the recycling place every two weeks to save money cause it was stupid expensive to live there and every penny counted. We found out that even the crap we took to the recycling place was all just dumped into a dump. Period. Not recycled because it was too expensive to recycle it. Yet we would have been fined....
