Re: Recycle everything
My wife carts home blue box recycled items from her work. That's everything that's not paper, so I get to put out up to 6 full boxes.
Paper recycling is still a problem for the industry. Some gets used for cellulose insulation which is great stuff. It has boxite added which makes it more fire resistant than fiberglass insulation and it plugs up air infiltration much better than the fiberglass which is no more effective at stopping air flow than a furnace filter.
The sludge left over from paper recyling contains a lot of dirty chemicals that finish up in land fill, so the real fix is to reduce paper period.
