The Daily News reports that we're throwing recyclables in the regular trash over half the time. Some blame confusion, while others point out there's simply not enough space in cramped NYC living quarters to have a separate container for everything.

To that latter point, the paper points out that "neighborhoods that recycle the most household paper, plastic, glass and metal have more single-family homes. Queens has the best residential recycling record, followed by Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn and the Bronx, which recycles only 34% of what it could."

Only 34%? Jesus Christ.

	Darling, I've lived in places that don't even allow recycling bins. 34% is practically a eco-friendly. (Reply to this) (Thread)
