It's hard to choose to recycle here. Not only is it expensive, but it feels like they change what they can recycle every 2 weeks (exaggerating but still).

Also, sorting and rinsing everything takes a lot of time when you have to work 3 jobs just to afford your apartment. For me personally, though, I don't work (can't) but I have so many doctors appointments that I might as well. And my disabilities make it hard to take the extra time to sort.

Sometimes - well, not in my town, but I've seen it happen - the same truck picks up both the trash and the recycle. So there's not really a point to sorting it in those places since it all goes in the same truck. In places where they do put them on different trucks, "recycling" centers have been caught selling the items to other states or even other countries, and most of the time is rerouted to landfills.

A lot of people in my town put their recyclables in plastic bags, which obviously can't be recycled, so then it ends up at the landfill anyway.

Idk, there's a lot more but basically it sucks.
