Full of Garbage

As I was returning to my dorm last night, I chanced upon one of our fine janitors emptying a recycling bin. This would be a total un-noteworthy event, were it not for the fact that he was emptying our recycling bin -- the collective "green" efforts of an entire floor of people -- into the regular garbage. 

Even more troubling was that the more I spread this, the more it was reciprocated with identical stories. Apperently this wasn't a one-time (possibly language-barrier induced) offense.

Don't kill the janitor yet - he's not the only one. I believe I've read that nearly 90% of what people recycle is in fact not recycled, but instead mixed with regular garbage at some point along the line.
