That is a smokescreen. In many places, the trucks all go to the same landfill.

Furthermore, if stuff that's thrown into recycling bins is contaminated or hard to clean, it gets thrown in the landfill. It almost doesn't matter if one person individually is environmentally-conscious. If everyone else who lives near you sucks, all your "recyclables" are going in the landfill.
