      Yeah, we noticed that too. No effort to protect the health of their workers.
      Plus, what sort of human life is it sorting garbage for a living? This is appalling, not really cool at all.
      If I met some intelligent beings who landed from outer space I would be ashamed to admit I was an Earthling. This is how badly we treat our fellow human beings & our precious living planet.

      100% true.
      I’ve an engineering company and we do lots of work at EFW and on the MRF side too. When the tipping hall is getting too full, it gets pushed in the pit to be burned. Or occasionally it gets loaded into an ejector trailer to be taken decent distances to be dumped in a land fill.

    • @Whayles
      @Whayles 10 месяцев назад +4

      That’s very true, it’s unfortunate because although there is a cost to recycling, there is a massive net benefit too. Pollution is reduced, materials recovered, a variety of jobs created and potential for energy generation, all being wasted when waste goes to landfill

    Here in the USA the recycling programs are a farce, we take care to separate the different materials at home, take them or have them picked up by the “recyclers” who are making money for doing nothing. Let’s start with the fact that the only plastics that do get recycled are water bottles and milk or detergent jugs, the rest goes to the regular landfill. Wood products are not recycled in any way by the local recyclers. The only other things that get recycled are car batteries, electronic devices, metals and stolen catalytic converters. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will not issue fines or sanctions unless they are trying to drive someone off their land, while all along ignoring the crimes committed by industrial entities. It’s all a very bad and expensive joke.
