Just a couple of off topic things around recycling;
Recycling is not virtuous. It is a measure of our failure.
1) Reduce
Just don't make/use the damn stuff in the first place. This is true success.
2) Reuse
If you have to make it, then reuse it as much as you can. This at least minimises the impact of our shortcomings in 1).
3) Recycle
Well, we've failed to reduce, failed to reuse, so all we have left is recycle. Ironically the stuff we recycle the most is actually the stuff that does the least harm in the ground.
4) Bury.
Utter failure.
