Best Trash is not really recycling
Best Trash is not really recycling
Lugeruser : You should share this with Amy Davis At KPRC. Let them dig into the details. She did an amazing job on the Drained series.

donnatella : That is exactly what I was thinking. With city of Houston water rates being so outrageous and thinking how much time it takes to get peanut butter out of the inside of a jar what a waste.
Lugeruser : Yes, our village voted to recycle and we pay for the privilege! It's not what people believe it to be. For example, only 5 to 9% of plastic is recycled in this country. As
donnatella intimated, we probably waste more water rinsing items than we should.

MissAmericanPie : I was given an AirTag for Christmas and i turned on my Apple lost item app and it lead us to this trash dump way in south Houston.
Lugeruser : Were you able to retrieve your item? We have Best Trash too and have those huge green recycle cans and fill it to capacity every week. What a waste of time! You need to call Click to Houston channel 2 and see if they would like to expose Best Trash.
TEXASGIRLMAMMA : I am confused. Best trash has the red bins. City of Houston has the big green ones.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : I am confused. Best trash has the red bins. City of Houston has the big green ones.
muffy : Not in my neighborhood. They are huge cans with an attached lid and are green. A Best Trash truck collets the recycle every Wednesday.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : That is weird. We have a dinky red bin that is overflowing every week.
muffy : That is not far! We had to pay for those huge cans. Maybe your HOA thought the small ones were big enough. Who knows why they do some things!!!
KWDfive : Our neighbor doesn't recycle and I asked why and was told because it just goes to the dump. We didn't believe it either so we kept putting our little red box out. But now we heard it from the trash people.
Lugeruser : One of the TV stations did a little bit of investigating and found that the recycle trucks were dumping at the dump site. I don't remember which TV station it was, but I just remember it and I thought the same thing. Why ask everybody to recycle if it's going in the same place
I am sure most of you are aware but I wasn't. BEST TRASH does not really recycle. For all the years we have been in Kingwood and paid Best Trash we have spent the extra time making sure all our plastic, cans, glass and cardboard went into the recycle bin, they provided. Thinking we were doing our part. I recently lost a Christmas gift that we thought went out in recycle. We followed the signal and it led us to the trash dump. There we learned that Best trash doesn't do recycle, the second truck that comes around to pickup recycle just dumps it in the land fill. Why bother to provide a separate bin and ask us to recycle if it isn't being recycled. I wonder if our HOA is aware and if Best Trash is charging extra for the second truck that supposedly handles recycle. Maybe we should be entitled to a refund for recycling that isn't being recycled.
Lugeruser : Here I found this . This is Houston trash dumping recyclables at a garbage site.www.chron.com/local/ article/New-video-em erges-of-Solid-Waste -driver-alleged
