Cool video! That was very interesting.

Can you make a machine that separate the garbage? Many people mix garbage with cans.

8:59 How did that flashlight get in there? Also never really understood the purpose of single-stream collection, rather than collecting paper items separate from the rest. Just seems to be a huge effort to separate it all out again after collection, and quite a bit of the paper is likely contaminated and of lower value.

[@mainemavin]

Separate collections of items DID result in a higher quality collections rate. Unfortunately, too many people think that what they have to do, to insure a better, non-contaminated, collection is too much effort for them. Somehow, trash is magically taken care of tor them.

@@mainemavin Aye, that people find it too difficult to put things in two separate bins.

[@gregelliott5016]

They must get quite a bit of recycling there

Doesn't seem economical to me, nontheless looks good for the ecosystem somewhat

[@ImranZakhaev9]

Just the aluminum and steel here will pay for everything else.
