Not sure about your specific municipality, but generally speaking nationwide recycling has gone backwards signifigantly in the last few years.

Generally speaking there is a market for cardboard, and metals. Plastic used to mostly get shipped to China, and around mid 2020 they more or less stopped buying it so a lot of it is being landfilled today. Glass is heavy and is cheaper to landfill, sometimes it is smashed and mixed into "fill" for construction.

Obviously this varies by location significantly. If you're anywhere near Bangor waste has in the pastbbeen burned at PERC, and was supposed to be getting turned into natural gas before that company went bankrupt (different towns signed different agreements on where waste went). Now PERC is handling a lot less volume and most of it is going to the landfill.
