Most of my workplaces have recycling bins. With the exception of 2, the cleaners dump the recycled items into the garbage. Is it worth it (all in, including collection emissions etc) to recycle glass, paper, organics, etc? Metal is, always. Plastics, sometimes. But the rest, no.
I looked it up and it seems the majority of the commercial stream is not recycled in Canada, particularly organics.
