Guy at the bus stop said recycling is a scam, and I couldn't let it go
I was waiting for the 7:15 bus on Monday and this older guy next to me saw my city recycling bin sticker and said "none of that gets recycled, it all goes to the dump." I didn't have a comeback ready, so I just nodded, but it bugged me all day on my route. That night I looked it up and found our county's 2023 report: 62% of what we put in those bins actually gets processed, not dumped. He's not totally wrong that some stuff gets tossed, but "all of it" is just not true. Does anyone have a good short answer for that kind of comment, something that doesn't turn into a whole argument at the bus stop?
