	== The 'recycling bin' image? ==

	The image on the right certainly doesn't look like a bin at park in northern California. Would anybody replace the image with the correct one, or remove it from the article?

	== Surcharges ==

	In the supply section of the article 2nd paragraph
	:(Container deposit legislation involves offering a refund for the return of certain containers, typically glass, plastic, and metal. When a product in such a container is purchased, a small surcharge is added to the price. This surcharge can be reclaimed by the consumer if the container is returned to a collection point. These programs have been very successful, often resulting in an 80 percent recycling rate. Despite such good results, the shift in collection costs from local government to industry and consumers has created strong opposition to the creation of such programs in some areas.)
	the last line states that
	* 1. there is a shift in collection costs
	* 2. the industry and consumers are now paying for the collection costs.

	I believe this is just a misunderstanding of the concept that the money you receive when returning the packaging is actually additional money that you spent when purchasing the item. this forces the consumer to return the packaging if they do not want to be the one paying for the disposal of the item.

	The curbside collection section had detailed description of types of sorting but no definition of what curbside collection is. I move the description of different categories and as well as analysis to ] (already identified as the main article for this section) and added a basic definition in its place. This was reverted by ] with the ''sole'' explanation that it was not discussed. This is so tiresome. -- ] (]) 17:49, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

			== Solvent/liquid recycling ==
	:If you're going to define a word, just put the definition in the paragraph. There's no reason to delete two perfectly fine paragraphs just to define curbside collection.

Solvent/liquid recycling

This is somewhat related to green solvent but that article has a lot of issues. Doesn't a section on solvent recycling belong in this article, or at least in recycling by material? Acetic acid, for example, has 1/4th of its production needs met each year by recycling. Recon rabbit 17:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
