Yes, just another scam; paper, cardboard, aluminum, and glass are the overwhelming majority of what CAN be recycled.

Even most plastics that are marked as recyclable are only 'theoretically' recyclable and only get diverted to a landfill. Any clear plastic or 'soft' plastic might as well go to the garbage (think product packaging).

Was funny how I found out, was at the local mall and see the janitor grabs the garbage-only bag, puts it in the bin, open the bag larger and puts the paper and plastic-only bags into the garbage bag, close it, and moves on to the next one...
