Chinese Company To Stop Taking Recyclables From Oregon Because Too Much Trash Mixed In

HILLSBORO, OR - OCTOBER 30: A customer at Far West Recycling is told this plastic waste will no longer be accepted for recycling October 30, 2017 in Hillsboro, Oregon. For decades, shipping containers have been loaded with American scrap and waste and dispatched to China for recycling. But, the Chinese government is cracking down, and will no longer allow shipments of much of the mixed plastic and paper Americans throw in to recycling bins. The shipments are too often contaminated with other waste like dirty diapers. (Photo by Natalie Behring/Getty Images)
