Texas woman uses AirTags to see where recyclable plastics REALLY end up - and is left speechless

Deason teamed up with CBS News for her investigation and visited Wright Waste Management, which is listed as a cardboard recycler that applied in 2022 to operate as a plastic recycler for Houston's program.

CBS sent a drone over the site capturing stacks of plastics more than 10 feet high.

Mark Wilfalk, Houston's top solid waste official, said the city is aware of the issue, but noted that they plan to 'stockpile it for now' and 'see what happens.'

Cyclyx promised Houston officials that it would open a sorting facility to store and treat plastics that can be turned into recyclable pellets, but construction at Wright Waste Management has yet to start.
