For context I live in the UK but I guess it’s pretty much the same worldwide.
I live in a country with something like 65 million people and around 20 million households.
We get recycling and non recycling collected separately every other week.
I imagine over a two week period most people easily fill their waste bin. I normally can squeeze in around 5 or 6 bin bags.
So that must mean around 140 million bin bags are dumped each fortnight or more. That is 3.5 billion bags a year!!
Where the hell does it all go?
