An investigation by The Sunday Times of London has found rampant malfeasance in the recycling racket.

PAPER, bottles and plastic that millions of householders are being forced to recycle are routinely being dumped in landfill sites.

Recycling companies say they are receiving tens of thousands of tons of materials from councils which are so contaminated or badly sorted that they have to be rejected or dumped.

I always suspected recycling was a big scam.
