Default 15 Totally Recyclable Materials That Most Of Us Keep Forgetting About

My wife sent this to me the other day. I've forgotten a few of them, and just didn't know about a few others.

I was at the dump (transfer station) a couple of years ago (dumping my weed abatement waste on the yard waste pile), when I saw the bulldozers driving over and crushing an aluminum camper insert that somebody had dropped off. I was heartbroken that all of the hundreds of pounds of metal ended up in a landfill instead of being dismantled and dropped into the scrap metal recycling pile only 100 feet away.

Fortunately, the attitude seems to have changed there. On my most recent trip, they look in the back of the truck before you unload and tell you where to put recyclables instead of just dumping them. When it's not too busy, they even wade out into the building and pull out the larger recyclables themselves.
