In the recycling plant we managed, i think something like 70% of all collected recyclable waste ended up going to the landfill.
Also, the finished products from the recycling plant? We were having trouble finding buyers.
The recycling plant lost money. Throwing everything into the landfill would have been cheaper for the government too. And most of what was collected as "recyclable" ended up in the landfill anyways.
