Our building has a weird recycling system. For one, we actually have a recycling chute which we can thrown stuff down like garbage; no glass though – can you imagine bottles flying down 30 stories at terminal velocity?. But aside from glass we can put various other stuff: paper, plastic, that weird plastic-paper used in milk cartons into the same bag and send it down. This initially struck me as being quite odd.
At Disneyland, they had cans broken down into the usual categories, one for paper, plastic, cans and garbage. These were spread around the place but never together as a set, so you might have to walk a minute or two until you found where to properly place your refuse.
But just like my building, Universal Studios decided to be more convenient by only having one bin for your trash and recyclable items. Did this mean they didn’t recycle? No, because they take all the trash and then take it somewhere to sort out all the recyclable materials (every garbage can tells you this). Man, that’s a dirty job even for Mike Rowe unemployed illegal immigrants investment bankers, imagine all the turkey legs, napkins, and vomit they have to pick through!
