... at least cardboard will break down naturally and is recyclable unlike most of the plastics that are not really recyclable regardless of it having a triangle on it.

Glass has no recycling value either because there is no market for it.

In RI they used to just grind up all the recycled glass and use it as fill for layer separation in the landfill because no one would buy it.

The best material for recycling is aluminum.

In general, recycling is myth.

Almost all of it just gets treated as trash anyway ever since China stopped accepting it. My recycling and trash gets dumped in the same truck, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it is just a farce and there is no divider in the truck to separate it.

I really hate the form of condos that are built in our state. They're built in this manner cut off from local roads and distanced from surrounding neighborhoods and amenities. You get to live in a dense neighborhood, but you still need to drive anywhere to do anything and don't receive the same services as your fellow town members.
