And the problem with that is laziness. I don't know how it is elsewhere but I know the biggest impediment to widespread recycling is plain, simple, selfish, laziness!!! A lot of places have curbside pick up of trash and even then people dont want to take the time to separate things into different bags. And heaven forbid they have to actually take it somewhere to drop off!!
Where I live we are lucky enough to have curbside pick up of recyclables and, even better, we only need to separate paper from everything else. So glass, plastics, and aluminum can all go together. My only complaint is the low number of plastic types that are accepted.

Here too. Tuesdays Trash Day. Fridays Reclycle Day.
All you have to do is put your plastic, paper, aluminum, or cardboard in the big blue bin. You don't even have to clean it.
I can't tell you how many peoples trash cans are overflowing on Tuesday with cardboard and paper. Just in my neighborhood.
Makes me just want to jump out of my car, ring their bell and shake them.
But I haven't.
