Honestly the contribution of homeless ppl in recycling consigned items is underrated. They're doing a great job at it. I leave my cans and bottles in a clear bag, which I know my city won't pick up so homeless people can just take it and trade it in for money. I don't have time to do all that for a few dollars, it's not worth it for me, but it is for them and that way everything is still recycled.

Being a resident here, I can see SF being 1st in recycling despite how dirty the city appears. Most areas have trash cans and stores will have separated trash, recycling, and composting cans. Apartment buildings will also have trash, recycling, and composting cans. While there is still a lot of littering, we are continuously hiring trash collectors and "ambassadors" that help maintain the city. People are also hired to sort through trash to really recycle what we can as some will either, not care what they throw where, or be unsure of what goes where. Though I've seen some tables set up around the city increasing awareness and educating people on what is waste, what is recyclable, and what is compostable. I actually interacted with one of them yesterday when I went to throw away trash after a picnic with a friend. I do think the push to become more clean has happened somewhat recently since for some time one of my nearby parks often had food waste and trash left in the plantbeds and bushes. It was frustrating for a long time for myself and other dog owners since our pets would often be attracted to go gorge on the trash left there. Recently those areas have been much more clean and my dog has been less tempted to go snuffling for bits of chicken bone and butts of burritos since she hasn't found any in a while. The same streets I traverse seem to not have trash last on them for very long now. I might see trash one day and see it gone, but replaced by different trash the next day. The littering is definitely a major issue even though more trash cans have been put out. I can definitely say that I've found no needles in many months, only one syringe with no needle attached. Broken glass though is still common and I have to watch my dog's path so she doesn't cut her paw open. I think one of the biggest things that would help is housing our homeless. Despite our many organizations working to give people a step up where they can and doing outreach, there are many factors still increasing the population. I was homeless myself for a time and while I have a place to stay now, I'm still technically under the definition of homeless due to the nature of my current housing. Our section 8 waitlist has been closed for some time because the need is so high and we don't have enough resources. If there were a strong initiative put forth from the federal level, moving funding to where it's truly needed, I imagine a lot of us would be better off. Plus there is the bigotry of those who try to get shelters shut down....

Where I live in the UK, we have 3 bins - 1 for recycling (glass, plastic, tins, cardboard etc), 1 for general household waste, & 1 for food / garden waste (grass cuttings, etc). That food bin gets gross in summer, as it’s only picked up once every 2 weeks, but we often wash it out after collection. Our recycling is sent to a recycling plant, & then sent to Sweden (going from memory when we had to do research on recycling in college) where they reuse plastic for many, many things, such as petrol (gas) in machinery - really interesting.

In Canada we have 2 bins. One for waste and one for recycling. The recycling makes rounds once a week and twice a week in more populated communities. There is also a many recycling stations called sarcan that will pay you for bottles cans and electronics. Also concrete and metal can be taken to the dump for free or metal at a scrap yard for money. The garbage truck comes once every two weeks. And if the weight of the bin is too high or it is over life’s and the lid doesn’t close they will skip you and you will have to pay at the dump by weight. Not cheap. Also we are charged a tax on all recyclable containers and bags and bottles, stuff like that. If we don’t recycle it we pay. If we do we get our money back and an annual tax refund based on how low our household waste was that year. Lower the weight in waste the higher the tax refund.

If you live in a apartment there is usually an little station near it where you can drop of your stuff and it gets emptied either on a stuck schedule or when it's full. Some plastic bottles have money on them and can be handed in at supermarkets, the same for batteries/lightbulbs and sometimes electronics (not all of them tho) and for glass there are usually several stations with separate things for the different colours. There are usually old fabric containers there too. Old medication can be handed of at te pharmacy or at a sorting station, which is also the place for bigger things or things that can't go into any of the other categories, like chemical waste and building waste. It sounds a bit complicated maybe, but most of the things are either picked up or near something you're already going anyways, you don't have to pay per thing, I think it's within the municipality tax.

In switzerland, depending on which canton (state) you live in, you buy designated trash bags that are insanely expensive (2 dollars per bag of 35L in my area) and throw them away at designated bins. They will fine you if you do not use those bags to dispose of waste. The bags’ expense are from taxes so people recycle more. You get free recycling tickets each year per kg of materials you hand in to recycle at local recycle stations and if you recycle more than those tickets, you get money back for it. Switzerland recycles so much trash that power plants that burn trash to produce electricity and heat buy trash from abroad just to stay in business. Each year, there are also national days where you all receive a bag meant for old but still wearable clothing. These clothes get donated to people in need in other countries. edit: Also if you don’t wanna make the trip to a recycling station, you can always look up your zip code’s recycling calendar and leave your stuff on street corners neatly bound together on specific days where said material is being recycled. Trucks come by at 9am in the morning to pick it all up. Oh and if it rains, sucks for you, no one wants wet trash, look up the forecast and decide yourself if this round is the right day for you to take your stuff out and you are obligated to take it back in if it rains.

I moved to a rural area from the city in VA and in the city, it was so easy to recycle. Out here, there is no pickup, no drop offs (there is one at my job at the only grocery store in 15 miles) so if everyone used it, it would constantly be overflowing but now the dumpsters are ALWAYS overflowing with recyclable things taking up most of the space. We do not drink, cook with, or water plants with the tap water. It is really gross...black sludge comes from the tap and deposits around the drain, plus the water is so hard that you have to put vinegar in the dishwasher or the dishes will have a opaque white film on everything. So everyone buys water but have nowhere to recycle all the bottles...i wish I knew what I could do to make these people do something to better this trash situation...i'm so excited to move lol

Are they trying? S Korea pays for most of your healthcare, gives you a stipend when they're young, and obviously is serious about minimizing trash heaps in landfills. To the point they have a system that sounds insane, at least to me. Hopefully they dial in the trash collection to be neater and less onerous. Honestly though the U.S. has abysmal public policy for the amount of money we have and people just accept it because they're afraid of making life better for anyone they don't feel "deserves" it. More work, shorter lives, the highest rate of incarceration(and awful prisons compared to Scandinavian countries), the most expensive healthcare, the most murders per capita, huge number of traffic fatalities or maiming. You're really treated badly if you don't have money. Like if you're not wealthy, the system finds ways to punish you. I think it's one reason people prefer to drive. Because if you have money you're completely isolated between bubble A and bubble B. People are starting to try leaving, but it's not easy being an immigrant even from a rich country.

In Austria, we have designated places to throw away, to the separate containers: plastic, metal, white glass and dark glass. Of course, throughout the city there are also regular trash containers. Most of them are also separated into paper, plastic and “residual” waste. The household must also separate the waste, using specific bags provided by the municipality, into: paper, plastic, food waste (bio-waste) and residual waste. Each household, be it private house or condo, taxed for the waste removal. The waste is then burnt at the special plant that uses that energy to supply electricity. It is kind of closed circuit burning plant, so it does not pollute the air. Considering how much we are going to suffer gas prices increase this year, not a bad solution

in switzerland, trashbags that will be picked up are hella expensive. this is 1) to pay the fees so you don't have to pay more taxes and 2) to encourage people to recycle more. in a low income household (and in others too because the swiss are rich but we all wanna get richer yk) you think twice about throwing PET or glass in the trash and you rather recycle instead.

In Seoul they collect waste 3 times a week? I'm in Leeds, UK and each type of waste gets collected fortnightly. In some other big cities it's really bad with garbage. There's huge piles of trash on either side of street. Birmingham was really bad for it so many years ago. It was like the council completely forget about certain postcodes and it got really out of control. It was bad with rats. I remember a friend came up to stay with family because of how bad it was. In most cities and big towns, it used to be weekly and then it suddenly changed to fortnightly. When that happened, I was down in Oxford and when walking through suburbs, I kept seeing rats running across street.

The real focus should be on composting rather than recycling. So many things that we think are recycled end up in the trash, either because we don’t familiarize ourselves with our local guidelines OR because other people don’t, which leads to contamination of other people’s recycling. Also, when touring a local brewery they said that it’s more sustainable to buy aluminum than glass because the local recycling center doesn’t actually recycle glass even though they say it’s accepted. I’m not even sure who to believe!
