I used to be able to buy 100% post consumer recycled printer paper with ease, now it's difficult to find. Same with 100% recycled notebooks. When I search online for them, I can't find them. There used to be a market, but now they don't even offer it.
I think they do take a lot of the recycled paper for boxes, though.

As far as the glass, Denver is the opposite - a few years ago, they were crushing the glass and using it as landfill liner, because the bottles were getting smashed in the single sort recycling and they said they couldn't properly recycle them. But I guess they figured something out, because now they do.

In the 80s and 90s we did not have single sort recycling. I'd be happy to separate my recycling if it meant more of it actually got recycled. I used to, it's not a big deal.
