Similar to you, we separate it

and we're disappointed when we can't find shore collection places with recycling. Our amas can hold a lot of recycling, which we save until we can find a place that recycles.

Many communities are now using single stream recycling, so you only need to separate the organic items and those that can't be recycled. Unfortunately composite boats are one of those things that still end up in landfills. Recently I saw an interesting show on The Science Channel about single stream recycling, and they took viewers through a San Francisco plant where they separate it all out. Very interesting process, you might find more in YouTube if you search "single stream recycling".
