Are you talking about Tacoma/ Ruston Area?

I agree with you. Recycling is stupid; weirdly enough it's a major contributor(? Totally not the right word) to homelessness.

Secondly, it's allowed to be 'disposed of' internationally. Who knows what the Chinese and Indians are doing with it.

Instead of CRV at the consumer level, we should have susidies or direct payments to suppliers for reusing plastic. All the plastic that isn't 'intrinsically valuable', ends up safely in a landfill.
