Is plastic recycling a hoax made up by Big Oil?

Burning plastics is very toxic, there are other ways
we simply bag ours up and simply use a public bin whenever we are out
we also visit the FIL once a month who gets our plastic trash if we have any
we are totally off grid, and there is no trash collection where we are.
we DO NOT burn toxic plastic trash (or anything else for that matter)

"Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform."

With the higher temps, better AQI & PM2.5 numbers this past couple weeks, since the pollution can dissipate to higher altitudes, I guess it's a safer time to finally burn our trash.

Just waiting for a non windy day, so not to disturb any distant neighbors, closest being 140m away

This represents about 5 months of trash for us, November to March, inclusive.  As I stated, we don't generate much that isn't recycled or put in the compost piles.  Mostly plastic bags or non all paper containers/packaging.  That egg carton will probably get put in the compost pile.

That use to be a weeks worth of trash, when we were renting in suburbia Udon Thani.
