Here in Boston we recently went from having to sort our recyclables
for weekly pickup to being given huge wheeled and covered recycle
bins for all recyclables together. I still feel a twinge of guilt
when I put a plastic bottle in with paper or vice versa!

It gets dumped on one end of a sorting line. At least it provides
employment.

That's assuming they're actually recycling stuff. I am not alone in
fearing that the fact that the costs of recycling are resulting in short
cuts on the other end, after it's collected.

I wonder about that, too. I shred checks and other personal data and put
them in my recycle bin (as I've been told to do).

Here we can not put shredded paper in the recycle bin. It must be contained
in a paper bag and put in with the yard waste. I don't get checks back.
The bank retains them.
