What is the recycle market for used band aids?

The world has gone mad.

Or like 'reclaimed toilet paper' made from "40 percent recycled material"


The recycled material is just miscellaneous paper. I don't see them
saying "care to recycle" on the toilet paper package.


Well, that's no fun!


The ironic thing is they had to tell a few places to be careful that
toilet paper was not in the recycle.
It seems that in some 3d world countries, they don't flush the paper
because it is tough on the septic systems so it ends up in the
bathroom trash. People in the clubs were assuming bathroom trash was
all just paper towels so they dumped it in the recycle.
That was pretty yucky for the sorters at the "single stream" recycle
center.
