Green - An environmentalist community

I helped get a recycling program going at my first college. We did it correctly and it even made a little money but we only did paper, glass, and metal. We wanted to do plastic but could not get it to work. Later I saw the public recycling and at first the blue bin with everything grouped together did not seem right but at that time the trucks had multiple compartments and the driver actually sorted as it was picked up. Alright that makes sense. Then they stopped doing it and said it was sorted at a facility. Ok. Then the trucks they started using were just like the garbage truck. Smashing everything together under pressure. Um......?????
