Recently found out that many recyclables are just dumped in general landfill anyway. Those which aren't are usually made into some second grade material which immediately goes back out into the environment and can not be recycled again.
Meanwhile we have three different trucks bumping up our street on different days to collect general waste and the recyclables, spewing out diesel fumes everywhere.
Then I look at the mind blowing amount of rubbish that countries like India and China just burn, bury, or dump into the rivers which are carried out into the world's oceans.

And I think what the fuck is the point of this? Given absolute power I would just simply tax the ever loving fuck out of all unnecessary packaging, plastics, and crap, so people would only buy those products as a last resort. Or just ban it full stop.

Anyway I recently got a black mark from the council becasue some lowlife put a recyclable plastic drink bottle in my general waste wheelie bin. Two more black marks and I get a fine. Great, now I have to put out my wheelie bin at the last possible minute before the truck comes.
Look, fuck this bullshit. Separating and having to put out three different bins on three different days is a pain. I didn't mind doing it but now I just cant be fucked. I waste my precious time while Chang and Pajeet carelessly dump a thousand million times more crap into the oceans every day.

I thought about my black mark and concluded that the council must occasionally inspect the contents of my bins. Well fuck. Lets see, minimum wage council workers doing a filthy job will only do the bare minimum and only pick out the cleanest and easiest errors. Okay, so now I put ALL my plastics, glass, paper, and cans into the bottom of the general waste rubbish bags ( which are plastic, lol ). Then I urinate in it and add cat's poo. Tie it off and into the bin it goes to ferment until collection. Can't see those council workers wanting to sort through that. Fuck it all.

Other than the time and inconvenience my biggest gripe is the space required. Living in a small apartment I dont have space to keep separate bins for each recyclable class. I dont actually consume that much in the way of products so it may take months to a year to actually fill a bin. So what I do is just fill up one bag with all the different shit, go for a walk to the park and dump it in one of the park rubbish bins.
The park bins are always full of pizza boxes, burger wrappers, dog poo bags, plastic drink bottles, and few glass bottles. Stuffed every day. A park guy told me it all goes to landfill because its often full of shit like used needles, empty drug bags, and lots of dog poo. They are emptied every day.
Our park has 8 bins. One bin is about what I produce in 3 months, so I dont feel bad about doing this.
Fuck anyone who says "every little bit counts". What a retarded cope. How about just stop consuming so much crap instead?
