Recycling has never been more interesting!

Right, because string is so expensive and difficult to find. Plus, the "string" is now non-recyclable, so it can now clutter up a landfill instead of being used for something new.

Pretty cool. Patrick, the string is still recyclable; it's still type 1 or 2.

Most recycling centers won't accept plastics that are unmarked as to type. The resulting "string" here has to markings.

modern MRFs don't worry about a number that's stamped, anymore... they process the plastic (and glass) through ingenious means, such as lasers, magnetism, gravity, etc.

Maybe by you they do. Here, if it doesn't have the symbol it gets rejected.

that's on your municipality. but the technology to do single stream recycling has been around for a while, and lots of places around the US partner with such facilities.

We do have SSR, but they're very specific about the plastics they'll accept. And it has nothing to do with any municipality, it's a private contractor we hired.

SSR definitely varies in the range of materials accepted, as you'd expect. actually some MRF's are so full-service that they'll accept all waste and recycling together-- so if something's not recyclable it simply gets diverted to end-trash, where it can still be used to harvest clean-burning methane.

and yes, the municipality typically hires the contractor based on cost and availability. was i unclear on that...?

Evidently it was me who was unclear. There is no municipality involved. I don't live in one. This is a private company I hired to take my trash and recycling.

Oh, yes please, can I have some shitty unusable "string"? Pretty please?

cool stuff... just understand that plastic disintegrates over time, especially when exposed to the elements. so... not sure if the furniture ideas are a good idea.
