What do you think a tree hugger is if not someone who cares about the environment. It's become a derogatory term only when various corporations went on the attack. They have spent millions to plant the seeds of animosity through slander and disinformation so people like you will say, "I am not tree hugger" as if it's a bad thing.

The load ticket said "Dirty Load". This means someone threw garbage into the recycle bin, and the driver didn't catch it before loading it on the truck. Once the load is contaminated, it cannot go to the recycle stream, otherwise the contamination spreads, reduces the material value to less then zero many times. Maybe the Director should educate himself on his own system instead of throwing his people under the bus and making unrealistic promises "never again".

This! right here! the trucks going to the landfill are a last resort reserved for when recycling would be impractical / impossible for a certain load. Don't get mad at your city for properly handling a contamination event, get mad at the SOB down the street who threw garbage into the recycling bin.

@Kabuki Kitsune You are right on my friend, they should have emphasized this in this story. The company I work for bales their own recycle material and pulls alot of non recycle items out as it is being baled. It is a major pain. Some people just do not get it. Maybe if they had to come do this job they would understand. When the driver dumps the customers and cart and sees the wrong items in it, the customer is first warned then next time has their recycle container taken. You simply cannot have these people continue to contaminate the recycle material.

This story makes me laugh for a few reasons. One, I grew up in nearby Las Vegas NM. Santa Fe has always championed this green recycling BS and pushed it on the rest of the State. Yet, their own government employees don’t even follow what they preach to the rest of the State. 2. My dad ran a small recycling company in the 1980’s and early 90’s in Las Vegas N.M. call the recycling depot on railroad Ave. The City of Las Vegas and the State got Federal grant money which city governments used to run people like my dad out of business. Independent recycling business saved the cities landfill space and taxpayer money. And city politicians all over the state set up city run recycling programs that did not com close to actually recycling the amount of materials the independent recyclers did. Again, one of many reasons why I left New Mexico in 1990 at the age of 18. Leaving was the best decision of my life.

I pay an extra $12 a year for a recycling bin. It’s the exact same size as the garbage bin, but only gets picked up biweekly in comparison to the weekly garbage. I would be a little upset if I discovered my recycling ended up with my trash anyways because I put a forward effort to recycle as much as I can. The recycling is typically full on its pickup day while trash is usually half-full. $12 isn’t much, but I would still be mad at false advertising.

People don't realize, that if you through trash into recycling, it takes a significant amount of time and energy to separate the garbage from the recycling. If any of the recycling gets contaminated with grease or oil, it becomes trash, depending on the material. only certain materials can be truly recycled most plastics, for example, are actually downcycled are much more difficult to recycle afterwards.

If the recycling facility is filled to capacity, there wouldn't be any choice but to dump it. But 'contaminated' with glass? Glass is 'recyclable' but usually not in the manner people imagine. Most of it gets crushed and used for concrete aggregate or paving asphalt. Generally only clear glass is reused and that's a fraction of the total.
