42 minutes ago, KennethT said:As of a few years ago (I haven't checked since) it probably wound up in a landfill in China. For years, China was accepting (buying?) garbage and recycling from the US. I wonder if it went into creating some of the islands they're making in the S. China Sea?
Quite possibly. Wherever it goes, it doesn't solve the problem; it just moves it on.
As i recall, China was being paid to take some trash for 'recycling' but I think they stopped that a good few years back. Or said they did. Some they did pay for, especially plastics, but that has supposedly stopped too.
My oil is collected separately from other trash, but what happens next, I don't know for sure, either.
