Random Cardboard Box

Sure wish people would follow the decal on the cart and flatten the boxes and not just shove them in the cart as they can get jammed in the cart and not fall in the hopper. Hopper was backed up several times because of all the unflattened cardboard. Adrian had to stop and pack/rev the truck several times to keep up today. Made for a good video though lol. The problem with carted single stream recycling is people no longer flatten their boxes unlike in dual stream where everyone flattens their boxes and places them next to the crates. Also people become 'wishful recyclers' meaning they put things that are not accepted or just put in garbage in their recycling cart like yard waste a common contaminant here. Most people are terrible recyclers no wonder China has stopped accepting many of our recycling commodities. Where will our materials go now as China was one of the major countries that took in our recycled goods.
