Fraud is a strong word. This was common knowledge to anyone interested in how recycling works. Wait until you hear about the mountains of glass sitting around never to be recycled.
If by "mountains of glass" you mean "landfilled", then yup.
It's not well-understood that municipal recycling requires private contractors to bid on the waste stream, and if they can't make money on it, it all gets landfilled like the good old days. At least consumers are now trained to separate it.
Those can grifters are likely the real recycling heros of our time. Make it easy for them to find them.
