| They only take my paper and cardboard and leave the bottles. What’s going on? |

| Arlington doesn't. It's too expensive. |

Glass, yes. Plastic, no. Although recycling plastic usually involves burning it. |

| Maybe they'll do something like Fairfax, where they have giant glass dumpsters all over the county and you take it yourself. It has been a successful program. |

Wait what? They aren’t accepting glass recycling ing anymore? I never heard this. And according to their website they are taking glass — they just don’t take things like drinking glasses (which are not recyclable):

Interesting. Glass can also just be cleansed and reused like in many countries, with a deposit on the bottle, but EPA and government won't allow that anymore. |
