they wouldn't have to educate customers if the recycling programs really worked.
Seriously, there are so many containers and such that are technically recyclable, but that aren't allowed in our recycling bins. I used to buy certain products because I knew their containers were recyclable.. and then read the poster that toronto handed out only to find out that 3/4 of my 'recyclables' aren't.
one example are eggs in clear plastic egg cartons... the egg carton is recyclable (it's stamped right on the carton), but you're not supposed to include it with your recyclables.. and those 'recyclable' propane canisters they have now aren't accepted anywhere either.
People can't recycle effectively, and the program can't work if it's not convenient and obvious....
