Blue (plastics, metals), grey (paper), green (organic).

you forgot about the Red bins

haha recycling is complete bullshit! people that believe in that crap are so misinformed

If it were bottles, it wouldn't feel very wrong to me, seeing as how the amount of usable glass reclaimed by the recycling process is worth less than what it costs to recycle them.

Cans, yes, if they're aluminum. Aluminum is the one material that actually makes economic sense to recycle.

Mhmm, because Penn & Teller's show isn't very well manipulated to make you think so. Use your brain, lol.

I doubt that everyone in SoCal is quite that retarded, but I know at least one who definitely is.

I haven't seen the episode in question (aside from that clip), but the fact of the matter is, recycling is actually wasteful for most materials that are on the list of recyclables. Forget about the P&T fodder; this ought to be old news for people who have done much independent reading on recycling programs - independent meaning anything other than the crappy calendars they send out and the R³ propaganda we were given in elementary school alongside the Mosaic and French.

(That last one was a joke - the point still stands)

And the fact that the city keeps cutting back on pickup services while simultaneously telling us we have to work harder to sort our own garbage is, well, crap. Reduced service should be accompanied by a reduced cost, and when somebody is paying for a service (which we are, through property taxes), you don't tell them to do your job for you. What's even more ridiculous are the rules placed on multi-res and commercial buildings; if they don't produce "enough" recycling material, the city will refuse to pick up the garbage.
