I've always been convinced that recycling is far more trouble than it's worth.
Putting out the rubbish used to be a straightforward task.
But since the advent of endless council edicts and different coloured bins and boxes, it has became ever more complicated.
So much so that recycling now puts as much strain on the brain as the game of Sudoku, research has revealed.
In the first study of its kind, volunteers rated the sorting of household waste as challenging as solving a complicated puzzle.
. . .
Recycling also takes up valuable time, with the researchers estimating that the average family spends the equivalent of a week a year sorting, preparing, rinsing and putting out their waste.
Not only is recycling a scam, it wastes time and energy and causes stress.

The city of Brandon has a number of bins for sorting various types of glass, plastic and metals. While I was waiting for my wife a truck pulled up and dumped all the containers into a single truck. A phone call to the mayor’s office and the newspaper in who’s back lot this took place has seen the little bins replaced with larger drag-on containers that are taken to our private run, and tax funded, ‘recycling facility’
in our industry it fuels over 10 billion in sales of recycled auto parts. I agree inthat its tough for paper products and things less valuable but recycling in specific industries has HUGE advantages.
