@goodthanks @disguy_ovahea wait till you hear what happens to it after it's collected to be sent to China.

People still talk about the time it all went to landfill anyway after this kind of political fuck-up

Doesn't most of it go to landfill anyway due to contamination? Every share house I've lived in didn't separate their waste. I used to empty it on the drive way and sort it on bin nights but eventually gave up. Australians are lazy as fuck. Apartment blocks are the worst. Found a microwave in the recycle bin. We're fucked.
