That's the thing, for many of us there's no recycling bin for cardboard, plastic, glass, etc, it all goes into one big mixed public dump, like it was the goddamned 1980s and before.
There is one neighborhood operation that picks up the organic rinds and peels and eggshells for the compost. But they don't want any cardboard in there, napkins they don't mind.
There have been recycling campaigns, but they all seem to have petered out, then Covid put the nails in their coffin.
