While that sounds silly, it's actually a real problem. We used to ship large amounts of recyclables to China, but they recently decided they were done taking it, at least in part because much of it was contaminated with various wastes, some hazardous. Sounds reasonable, but that leaves us with a problem: what to do with all the things we can't recycle, such as thin plastic bags? Burn them? Bury them, hundreds of tons at a time? No good solutions....
