All our trash goes into a landfill, it sucks, but transportation costs prohibit recycling.
Funny thing is 10 or so years ago Miami's "Mount Trashmore" was the only repository for refuse down there so they went to an elaborate recycling system wherein these cool trucks with multiple containers on them would come around. Plastic, paper, clear glass, colored glass, etc.... Some news reporter decided to follow the waste stream & they found out that the trucks pulled up on top of this trash mountain and dumped all the "recycle" shit & it got buried.
I hope somebody's ass got burned for that one.
