Did you guys read the article? It says that the recyclables are “sitting in an open lot, waiting to be recycled” but the processing facility doesn’t have the machinery to do so yet. It will in a few months, when it is scheduled to start recycling plastics.

I’m the first person to bring upthe whole “tons of recyclables just end up on a garbage dump” thing, but this article (or at least the way it’s posted here on lemmy) feels rage-baity.
