Is plastic recycling mostly BS?  What happens to the plastic
we so faithfully wash and separate?  Does it end up in landfill
just like plastic people don't wash and separate?

I assume so.  I'm trying to find a white picket fence made of
recycled plastic, and have been unable to locate one.  If plastic
is truly recycled, why don't we see recycled plastic products?

If anybody knows where to find recycled plastic fences, please
let me know.  If we can't find anything recycled, I think we'll
just put up a cedar fence.  

Thanks,
