Recycling news


A few months ago, Fairfax County announced that they were no longer accepting glass as part of their recycling pickup. If you really wanted to have your glass added to some sort of non-landfill destination, you had to take it to specified collection points, where you fed it through portals one bottle at a time. There’s one—just one—in the People’s Republic, so you know they weren’t serious about it.

Well, a few weeks ago, I went to drop off two bags representing my consumption since some time in December. Here’s what I found:


They’d removed the one collection point, allegedly because of the pandemic. And, in fact, they listed three in the county where you could take your glass.

Well, obviously, people were not amused:


But last Saturday I swung by, and the County had blocked off entry to the entire parking lot and stuck that poxy sign right there.

I seriously despise this excuse for government.
