\"Ya

\u201cJust like your grandpa said, it all goes to the same\u00a0place.\u201d<\/p><\/div>It’s Boxing Day, which was not invented by Amazon, all the empty boxes notwithstanding.<\/p>\n

We are obliged by the City of Peoria to separate our trash into one of two 80-gallon wheeled bins \u2013 garbage and recycleables. We generate one 13-gallon bag of actual garbage a week, but thanks to Amazon, we often fill that recycling bin.<\/p>\n

Curbside recycling would be a joke even if it were not a lie: Adding in your uncompensated labor, the value of recycling does not justify its cost. Even if it were not a lie, it would be wasteful in se,<\/em> literally more trouble than it’s worth.<\/p>\n

Here’s what’s even funnier: Curbside recycling is just as real as Santa Claus. Because it is stupid and wasteful \u2013 unjustifiable by the only economic standard that matters, an entrepreneur willing to gamble on the stuff \u2013 there is no such thing as curbside recycling. Instead, carefully-sorted garbage is collected by two different trucks from two different barrels on two different days \u2013 and then it is all taken to the same one landfill.<\/p>\n

Do you insist that’s not so where you live? Look into the facts. Chances are, your town’s fathers are lying to you about what happens to the puppies at the pound, too…<\/p>\n
