OMG you can't say "retarded" any more...
You have to say "mentally-challenged" or "Democrat."

Single sort is pretty amazing. Years ago when I visited LT Wonko I got to see the program
there which used retarded folks. My dad is the landfill manager for EcoMaine and a couple
months ago we toured their facility which is almost completely automated. The only manual
sort they do is for different plastic types. They aren't allowed to have retarded people,
its "cruel". Instead they use mostly jailbirds.
I can't remember how much volume Wonko's outfit did, not a large amount anyway.
EcoMaine does something like 2,000,000 pounds a DAY.

Probably not. You're most likely doing "single stream" recycling now.
Everything goes, the waste collectors sort and recycle. We just started it a
few months ago along with automated collection.

Not so much here in ChiTown.
Walks in the Forest Preserve is much mud and wet leaves to slip on.
Beautiful warm day for a walk, and it was misting.
Compost pile - it is amazing what nice black dirt develops from plant
matter after compost. Plus, it decreases our garbage output to very
little and then we try to recycle glass and plastic and paper and
cardboard. Not anymore, though. The recycle bins have been
eliminated, so I guess all our recycle stuff goes to landfill which is
probably where it went anyway.
