after realizing that the province has decided to let plastic producers collect waste plastic and convert it into diesel, i made a conscious decision to not participate by trying to find an actual recycling facility that will at least take plastics 1-4.

i haven't found one yet. i was going to take it across to detroit.

i just realized they took the numbers off. those numbers determined what would get accepted by independent recyclers.

they obviously did that intentionally.

there's now no way for a citizen to know what plastic mcdonalds and loblaws are recycling, and what plastic they're converting to diesel. a good guess is that almost none of it is going to get recycled, and there's now no way to divert it.

i'm considering throwing it in the landfill instead. it's probably the lesser evil, at this point.
