Orange County Solid Waste Management Department

Kulsum Hafeez

This recycling program is a joke. “Goal of improving the overall quality and quantity of recyclables collected from households around the County”, but your program does not take any “soft plastics” which is basically the majority of plastics that enter any household- tape on boxes, packing materials in shipping boxes, plastic bags, plastic cups and straws, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, k-cups- none of these are allowed. I’m not even talking about hazardous waste, like batteries and electronics. What is the purpose of a recycling program that basically only extends to non coated cardboard boxes, bottles, and cans, when you are doing almost nothing about the majority of household plastics that enter the environment? “Save the planet” is nothing but a tagline here. If you make it painful to use your service, people just won’t. These items will just go in our trash cans and end up in the environment, so how are you actually effectively saving the planet? If your facility isn’t equipped for these items, then for the taxes we pay, you need an upgrade.
