This has been the reality since (just after) the onset of the recycle narrative took off. Noise is made, action never taken. The news outlets that show the horrific fatal diseases that children (with no other income) acquire through the scavenging has been a slow news day story for decades. See youtube - children, scavenge, dump. Anyone who sees the horrific waste of child-serving-sized coke plastic bottles, held together by more plastic, for 8$ at Target^ should be disgusted by the unavoidable sins of the US capitalist culture.

^You can get glass bottles held together by cardboard for slightly less, not that I'm advocating this purchase either.
