[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just use your fairfax center. [b]Just because you can drop things off doesn't mean they are all recycled[/b]. Do you know why so many recyclers go out of business? They can't handle the cost of hiring people to sort what people drop off. [/quote}

I think you misunderstood me. In Fairfax County, only the drink bottles and a very few other kinds of bottles will be recycled and the rest will be sorted out as unrecyclable trash. I know that already.

But Montgomery recycles many types of plastics that Fairfax does not recycle. Montgomery actually does recycle these other plastics -- they aren't going to landfills as trash, which is what happens in Fairfax County.

I know that "Just because you drop things off, that doesn't mean they are recycled." But in Montgomery, they actually are recycled, whereas in Fairfax they are not. I don't want Fairfax to waste resources sorting all my recyclables and non-recyclables. I will do that myself. I just want to recycle plastics that Fairfax does not recycle. [/quote]
