This funny video from the folks at Portlandia is a spoof, but it's not so far from the reality in some cities. For a nice friday read, let me recommend a now-classic debunking of municipal recycling programs from Daniel K. Benjamin: Eight Great Myths of Recycling. It'll make you wonder if what's going on in this Portlandia bit is closer to sad reality than comedy fun.
