Um, All The Soft Plastics You Hoard Lug To The Supermarket Aren’t Actually Getting Recycled

You know those soft plastics you so lovingly wash, hoard and drop off at Coles and Woolworths, thinking they’re going to be recycled? Well, it turns out REDcycle, the company responsible for picking up the items and recycling them, has actually just been fanging ’em in a warehouse. That’s right! A warehouse. I know it’s deeply cooked and not funny, however, the mental image of someone carefully opening a warehouse door and squeezing bags stuffed with soft plastics in there is sending me. I’m also losing it at the thought of some poor, unassuming person throwing the door open to grab something out of storage and instead being met by an avalanche of plastics. In my head, it’s kinda like that stampede scene in Jumanji 

This is depressing but the idea of Redcycle as a person trying desperately to keep a warehouse door shut to keep Coles and Woolies from finding out while the waves of soft plastics behind the door keep expanding and threatening to explode is funny at least https://t.co/8sqyWz1Xsg

Guess I’ll just have to recycle my plastics the old fashion way (burning them in a barrel in my back yard)
