17. I work in recycling

Most states, the recycling rate is mid-20% at best. So you can imagine how much ended up in landfill.

It should be noted that there are 10 states that have a nickel or dime deposit on beverage container and their recycling rate is in the high 60s. Placing an economic value is the most effective recycling incentive ever and it’s a damn shame that the 40 other states didn’t pass their own “bottle bill” deposit legislation because we would have captured so much more aluminum, Glass, and plastic bottles.
