I was told by someone who works for the waste district. Admittedly it's unverified, but he said the only stuff that is reliably recycled are the aluminum cans and steel. The market for plastics and other materials is usually such that it's cheaper to just dump it.

What about yard waste?

Your original claim was 'almost all' so if you're just talking about plastic I think I'm quite right to question what you 'heard from the garbage guy'.

Yeah he said the yard waste was all landfilled. They don't have a big compost pile somewhere.
