Description
CBS 8 is Working For You to find out where our recyclables actually end up.
This comes after a CBS 8 viewer conducted an experiment and reached out to us with some alarming findings.
Kevin Grold says his plastic water bottle ended up at a landfill in Riverside.
Many of us, like Grold, are conscious of doing our part, by putting recyclables in the blue bin. Grold says it was disheartening to see.
"It's my way of appreciating nature and giving back, so if I leave it a little cleaner, then it's a good thing," Grold said, who lives in Del Mar.
