  They need to be heavily fined for outright lying to people. Burning it is not recycling.

  Still less bad than not collecting it.

    If not recycling, the best would be to just bury it (in a way that won't pollute the water table).

      So don’t bury it then?

      Burning is the best outcome actually, burrying means it’s going to leech out

      Nah, it would still collect water and pollute, better to burn it at high temps
