A Houston resident used Apple AirTags to uncover that the city’s recycling program was storing rather than recycling plastic waste. The resident tracked the plastic to an unlicensed facility, which had failed fire inspections and was merely stockpiling the material. The city acknowledged that 250 tons of plastic had been collected since 2022 but not recycled. The case highlights potential issues with recycling programs and the misleading claims of plastic waste management.
