Also, I wondered about this. Why are they giving you huge biodegradable
bags that will then go into the landfill? Shouldn't recyclables go into a
can that is reused many times? Sounds like they're just tossing the bags
full into the landfill, that's not unheard of. And, just like ancient
carrots and
newspapers, biodegradable bags don't disappear the way one might think.
