then there should be fed regs to accommodate proper disposal such as bale wraps.
There should be government support for recycling all sorts of plastics, and other things too. It's one of those things like road building and fire fighting that just is not practical to leave to individuals. If we actually recycled stuff and stopped using un-recycleable materials we'd use a lot fewer new raw materials.
When we moved to the mountains we talked to one trash service who, when we asked about recycling, ranted at us about how it was a scam and a socialist plot. We thought they were cranks. Turns out they were partially right about the scam part. Very little plastic that goes into the recycling stream actually gets recycled. Everyone thought it did until China stopped taking it. Then we found out they had been faking it the whole time.
Future archeologists and paleontologists will identify our layer in the sediments by all the plastic.
