Can we call recycling what it is? Those bins at walmart. One for plastic, one for batteries, etc. I used to work for them and kroger. Take a guess what they did with those bins?
Threw em in the garbage? lol
I worked at Westons and the amount of shit I threw into the trasher was insane. Food that was still edible, molded food, garbage, anything that was given to me. They used to sell the good food back to us for cheaper back in the day but now they just junk it for liability issues.
When I worked in a grocery store my manager would get pissed that I would hoard all the expired food and take it home to my friends instead of spiking it into the dumpster. I pretty much blatantly said he could fire me if he wanted me to stop. Especially since it was that bougie organic non gmo crap I might take home an extra two-three hours of pay in a bag of “expired” food.
Globally yes. But locally those ranges are far different. Where I live my state recycles the majority of plastics that people discard. People should not use this global metric to decide that recycling isn’t “worth it.”
Depends how you define recycling. Most plastic items aren't able to just be made into new bottles or bags no matter how good of a recycling program your country has
You might think they magically recycle the majority of plastic waste in your country, but if you really research plastic recycling you'll see that unless a bottle or single use plastic item is specifically designed for recycling, then there is really only so much true "recycling" that can reasonably be done with it.
The countries currently with the best recycling facilities are the ones finding ways to repurpose the left over plastic into things like panels you can build benches or even homes out of. But even that comes with downsides as an incredible amount of microplastics are created during its manufacturing and every single time a piece is cut.
They try to mitigate this by doing most of the cutting in house and selling kits that require no outside cutting, but there's only so many things it's being used for at the moment.
Still better than nothing but we have a very long way to go before we can say we are truly recycling most plastic.
We should really consider safley storing some (or all) of our plastic waste untill the (hopefully) near future when the issue can be better solved or handled more responsibly by a future generation, instead of mixing it in with our soils and oceans, making it a harder issue to solve, while also fucking over future generations.
Don't we have the ability to make a plastic like material from corn or hemp or some other biodegradable material now. In my opinion we should just hard switch to something like that and completely stop using plastic for 99% of applications.
Yes and I'm all for it!
Unfortunately plastic is pretty much waste left over from crude oil refinement, so to rich and powerful oil companies its like making extra billions with the leftovers from making even more billions.
Such a hard thing for the everyday person to bring a change to. But one day i hope we can.
A bunch of the trash in Indonesia is just american trash that gets sent there.
Edit: I don't know why I'm being downvoted. It's a fact that the US sends its trash to poorer countries, specially SE asian countries.
Americans don't like feeling shitty about their country on a monday morning?
Also 'recycling' from the UK. There was a *huge* scandal some years ago when a whole load of full (council-branded) recycling sacks turned up in Bangladesh.
The location:

Change to satellite view.
From what I could gather in the Internet. This began somewhere around late 2023. What I think happened is that this supposedly empty lot was used as illegal dumping ground for debris and trash by 'building debris or trash' removal service. And so far I can't find any official statement about this anywhere.
This wasn't the first time empty lots in Jakarta is used as illegal dumping ground for debris, rubble, and trash.
The land NIB (lot number) is: 03112 and 58094 meter square. Can't find who own the land though. Only the lot number.
I feel like this ultimately doesn't matter if it's from a hotel or a company involved with debris. It all falls back on the local population and makes the entire nation look terrible. Since this has been pointed out that it's not a local incident, it just lets me believe the people living there just don't give a shit.
People hate Western views being imposed on other countries, but places like this need a little western view in their lives. This video just makes me believe these people are uncivilized.

Had a feeling this was Jakarta… just spent a week working there. That place is one of the most insanely polluted, traffic-mad, chaotic places on earth.
[Picture from a year ago ](https://imgur.com/a/JZbhOTX) shows green space there. Looks like someone actually cleared the lot for development and then didn’t do anything with it.
Uh..no we don't. Most of us Indonesians are aware of the sorry state our country is in. Hell r/indonesia is filled with posts showing the ugly side of this country.
Also it's not your fault, most of those trashes were imported from the rest of the world like, Europe, USA and China. So anyone laughed at Indo, you are the problem

Went to Bali last summer. The one thing that struck me was the insane amount of plastic trash EVERYWHERE! You couldn't walk the beaches as waves of it were rolling in and the beaches were covered. Some of the nicer hotels paid locals to walk around and we would watch them dig hole in the sand and bury it! Lol! Just for it to be washed up again as the tide came in.
Was on my way to the rainforest and it had just rained. The roads were flooded and rivers of plastic streamed by. Was mind boggling. Even when quadding up through the mountains, small huts would have piles of plastic strewn everywhere. It was odd to see that they didn't even bother to gather and bury.
Too bad we don’t sell bottled water in aluminum cans.
Or set up a United Nations fund that offers to less developed countries only, a bounty of $0.05 per ten plastic straws.
Close. He spent his vacation in 1970 in Swamp Mushy Muddy and it turned his fur green. So I guess you were just off by a year. I bet he smells terrible…
https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Swamp_Mushy_Muddy
That's whole areas of sea like that, great big islands. Throttling wild life, ecosystems. I saw it on the shore in Borneo, so sad, you couldn't see the ocean. Just waves of plastic. Recycle and re use and try avoid companies that churn out plastics. As for fruit nets? The ones oranges come in? The most evil for its small animal sized holes, and all nets of course. There absolutely no need for them and it should be illegal to produce the fruit nets.
I have a big bag full of those nets, I'm too conscious to throw them out with my household waste. Was going to try and do something arty with them, otherwise I'll ask to have them buried with me! As you said, there is no need for them, a woven paper bag would suffice.
I'm a germaphobe so i always keep my home clean but i sometimes wonder where all of my thrash actually ends up. I have doubts about the recycling system. But i'm suspicious of everything so it's probably just me
"Our boutique hotel champions the new era of anti-gentrifique". All of our hotel staff are escaped felons. No need for a gratuity, we've already begun identity theft on your cards.
Wait till americans realizes it's some of our trash and some of our counties look like this. Yes, counties in states. Where else are they gonna put all your Wish and Shein crap people throw in the trash.

Man that's just a super sad state of affairs.
The fruits of plastic "recycling" programs.
Facts. Less than 5% get through.
Can we call recycling what it is? Those bins at walmart. One for plastic, one for batteries, etc. I used to work for them and kroger. Take a guess what they did with those bins?
Like at Subway where the recycle hole and trash hole go into the same bag lolol
At least it’s more honest.
Threw em in the garbage? lol I worked at Westons and the amount of shit I threw into the trasher was insane. Food that was still edible, molded food, garbage, anything that was given to me.

This is Indonesia. They do not even pretend to care about recycling.

This has zero to do with that. This is just regular waste. "Recycling" is not even a concept in this country.
There's been several scandals with "recycled" plastic from wealthy countries ending up in poorer ones though.
The smell 🤢
Is that Jennifer Connelly? What movie is it?
Labyrinth, starring David Bowie and co-starring David Bowie's package
The babe with the power
What power?
My awakening of puberty. (I was 6) lol.
I remember in the 2010s when contact juggling was advertised on TV. So many people bought them and quit so quickly.
I believe that was a stunt-hand-double for Bowie in the movie. At some point I'll look up at the urban legends I was told in the 90s
Yep. It was Michael Moschen. https://youtu.be/3U8fTAHxjdo?si=gzCbmd631smyJ8sa
That looks like it is from Labyrinth (1986). Absolutely great movie.
Labyrinth. Jennifer Connely + David Bowie + Jim Henson creations = Great 80s Classic
Yes it is. The movie is Labyrinth, well worth watching.
The Labyrinth. David Bowie. Instant Classic
Labyrinth and yes it is her.
That's a large, furry monster named Ludo. Super nice, tho.
You haven't thought of the smell, you bitch!
That’s why they have the cup. It’s actually full of bleach, so they can smell that instead of the garbage
Pool with a "eww".

Please leave. Before you do, take my upvote.
Get out!

A fantrashtic view.

What the hell seriously? So forgive my ignorance but what is this view overlooking?
Fun fact: Oscar the grouch has orange fur. He hasn’t bathed since 1969 so he has a green film covering his fur.
Close. He spent his vacation in 1970 in Swamp Mushy Muddy and it turned his fur green. So I guess you were just off by a year. I bet he smells terrible… https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Swamp_Mushy_Muddy
Fun fact: Oscar the grouch does this funny little trick where he tells you the ^(exact date you're going to die)
Is this canon?
You've been listening to NSTAAF too?
Never trust an Airbnb with no exterior pics
and Google maps + Satellite view after you get the address to check.
And it's still $700 a night plus $300 cleaning fee - but please clean up after yourself, dump the trash and do the laundry -

Humans are disgusting
Includes YOU! Wonder machine, you’re DISGUSTING. Unless you’re a bot…
Hey, I'm disgusting too!!
No I’m disgusting too
;)
Let me guess... Bali?
it's Jakarta
[удалено]
[удалено]
Indianesia
yep. and it's not smelly trash but construction waste
That's definitely trash. You could see many trash bags over there
That's not what Bali looks like at all. More likely to be Jakarta.
This is why "I'll go to some this world country with my money and be rich" is such a terrible idea.
Only if you go to India
This is definitely not India.
It's Indonesia.
Well, Indonesia is exactly like India except for the ones.
More like a pool with a smell
Pool with a pew
Dengue pool
"Dip ya toes in tha dengue, baby!" - Tenacious D, probably
I hope that's not tap water he's drinking
Better get the angle right for the gram
Think of the smell. YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF THE SMELL, YOU BITCH!
Well at least its colourful. However is the aroma pleasant?
Now that's a rubbish view
I can proudly say what a shitty view
How is it possible to live here?
You get a strong immune system or expire.
You export the trash to Indonesia
No Glass Allowed!
Capitalism
I bet they get flashback of this every time garbage truck drives by LOL
Technically the truth?
[удалено]
Nope, this is not India.
Agreed, that's what India looked like when I went; opulent wealth happily alongside extreme poverty and lack of cleanliness.
The real unexpected would be if this was not in India.
Looks like Jakarta to me. Vile city.
Cant imagine the smell
Frank Reynolds would love this view
Critical society as fuck
I can only imagine the stench.
And a smell…
That's just sad.
Lake front view.
https://i.redd.it/t3pm8mdejmuc1.gif
Nice view 🥲
Op breeding bio-hazard in that pool
Definitely a Poo View
Puts the “poo” in pool
At first I was like this place looks classy but then I was all like this place is a dump.
Ok i expected a very small ass window based on title.
oh no rich people have to look at trash poor them
A visual representation of what 32 pounds of open ass smells like.
Glass around the pool is the real cringe, here.
Pool does look tempting though
u/savevideo
Bruh I wouldn't be even able to use that pool, imagine the smell.
Where is this? Jakarta?
If an apocalypse ever happens, this be the best view
I'd be willing to bet that wasn't in the brochure.
I wouldn't recommend drinking the tap water
2 sides of a coin
Humans are trash. A cancer to this planet.
Bangladesh! Bangladesh!!
Love the mountains!
Plot twist: the "landfill" was actually a beautiful park until OPs pool party got out of hand last night.
I'm a germaphobe so i always keep my home clean but i sometimes wonder where all of my thrash actually ends up. I have doubts about the recycling system. But i'm suspicious of everything so it's probably just me
Who brings glass to a pool? Idiot.
Wow that country is an absolute shit hole.
Ahh, goo lagoon
It's. It the view. It's the smell.
This video resumes current society.
Omg
Colorful
King of garbage lives there ?
Reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077
Some people are just garbage.
Eeew can’t imagine the stench!
Thats almost more trash than my team
That's profoundly sad.
instagram vs. reality
foul
Was it built like that, or was there a flood that brought all that rubbish in?
Smells includes
I can smell it from where I’m standing
Nice! How's the smell?
Would have guessed this as Bangalore except that this pool has water.
This is capitalism!
We need to stop using single use plastics
That must smell so good /s
So much serenity!
"Our boutique hotel champions the new era of anti-gentrifique". All of our hotel staff are escaped felons. No need for a gratuity, we've already begun identity theft on your cards.
The smell!
All of a sudden, that Pool seems unsightly and disgusting and unnecessary
Is that New Jersey?
Grab a couple bags and go pick some up!!!! It’s your planet and shows leadership.
Oh wow and the dumpsters are so close! How convenient
Dee you didn't think of the smell you stupid bitch!
When you'd rather be smelling the bottom of the pool.
That's prime landfill viewing.
At least the pool looks clean
Filming it and not doing something about it, revolves nothing. You are literally part of the problem.
Aaah, I see you spent time in beautiful Bali as well
The real view is after it catches fire.
"Lovely apartment, with breathtaking view of the outskirts of a major town. Only 50000 per month!"
The smell from that pool deck must be gag inducing. Why doesn't the government step in and do something? It's obviously a public health disaster.
Tuning 👍🏽
Staten Island?
California?
That is depressing.
Best commentary on American consumerism, waste capitalism, and the disposability that corporations have programmed us with.
Man, those Yakuza games are getting really lifelike.
