the fly has learned recycling just ends up in the dump …

fly-on-wall

…the fly has learned that since the pandemic, the Village of Ridgewood suspended all recycling to all restaurants . The town is no longer picking up any recycling to these establishments.

All recycling is going to the dump. When you drop off recycling at the Recycling center or the recycling is picked up in front of your house, it’s now just a scam and goes to the dump.

Ridgewood is no longer making money on most recycled product, which is mostly cans, bottles etc. Everything going to the landfill as our regular garbage…
