recycling is actually recycled. Maybe your area is different.

"Globally, less than 10% of all plastic ever produced has been recycled, and in the U.S., the actual recycling rate is estimated to be around 5-6% for post-consumer plastic waste in recent years. This low rate is due to a complex mix of factors, including plastic's poor design for recycling, lack of infrastructure, economic disincentives compared to virgin plastic production, and a growing production volume that outpaces recycling efforts"
