Actually, that's probably unfair - there are bound to be systems that don't work for one reason or another (corruption, inefficiencies, whatever) but a blanket statement like "The whole recycling thing is an enormous bunch of twaddle" is putting things too strongly.

Define "whole recycling thing" for a start - paper? glass? plastic? metal? kerbside collection? freecycle? cannibalising an old PC to keep another going rather than buying a new one?
