A helpful, picture-based guide to what trash can be recycled →

This is for Arlington, Virginia, but much of it applies to anywhere in the US. That said, I don’t think I realized that glass isn’t really recycled along with other stuff anymore, in some places. I sure hope my (continuing) ignorance doesn’t mean I’ve been “polluting” my garbage.
It’s Earth Day, so figured this was worth posting. But, I also know that many articles have been written about recycling being a scam and/or a waste. The truth-seeker in me loves that those articles exist, but the hopeful-fella in me knows that trying to reduce waste, and increase material use efficiency, is worth it, no matter how much less effective it is than we were led to believe.
