Everything that goes into my black bins is non-recyclable. That's why it goes into black bins.
I don't want to buy things that are non-recyclable but I can't buy shampoo containers that aren't plastic. I can't buy meat in foil trays. I can't buy toothpaste in metal tubes.
These are things I have no choice over, and moving to monthly black bins won't fix that. Can't the government set targets for the companies selling these things, it feels like trying to get the tail to wag the dog here.
Just as bad, what does the recycling program look like?
Every time I've looked into a municipality recycling program, it does little to nothing.
