Regular recycling isn't even an option where I live. You can literally only get a regular trash container. Sticks/leaves etc they'll take if you bring it to a center but there's no collection for that either.

There's a great video on this topic.
Recycling is a scam invented by big oil to shift the responsibility to the consumer. Every second we argue about correct recycling, is a second we don't argue about system changes.

Far more effective to boycott those companies instead. I stopped buying BP products because of how terrible they are.
I just want to be clear that not buying things isn’t a boycott.
