Oh nice so there's actually 100% no point in sorting the container recycling here? At work they make a big thing about sorting plastics properly, but the way my work does it versus the apartment down the street seems random; work puts tin cans and other metal right in with small plastics, whereas certain apartments separate plastic and metal. Does it all just go into the trash anyway?

I'm pretty sure tin cans are the exception, maybe glass too. Those can be recycled if the will is there. Idk if it actually is or not, but yeah, we've been caught dumping our recycling in other countries plenty of times. One even sent it back lol

Aluminum is extremely recyclable.

Usually corporations want you to sort the recycling because they will get charged a fee by the pickup company if they don't
