My reasons for recycling are probably different from most people's. I hate wastefulness and inefficiency. So it bothers me when people make single-use items and just throw them on a huge pile when the materials could still be used. And it bothers me when people put burritos into recycling and plastic bottles in the garbage, because that's not where they go, and if you'd just bother to be somewhat orderly you could help humanity in general to be more efficient with resources.
