While we were in Pittsburgh, Kansas we had reason to visit the recycling plant and a lady gave us a pretty cool tour. They have a “baler” that crams like material into a bale that is then shipped out where ever.
I asked why they don’t take straws and she said because they just fall through the baler. It’s a pain in the butt for them because they have to manually pick them up.
As I was putting McD’s cups in the recycle bin I got the idea to put 2 or 3 or 4 straws through the hole for one straw that’s in the lid. Or, leave the lid on the cup and stuff a bunch of straws in the cup.
That should work, shouldn’t it?
