For recycling, mostly glass, cardboard, paper, large plastics (not even sure if they can do anything with that). I really hope we see a shift back into using cardboard / glass for packaging but I imagine that would increase pricing of those products.
I'm disappointed they don't take Styrofoam as I read about a business in Alberta that could use Styrofoam to create other products. Not sure if they are still around as this was probably a decade back that I heard about it.

The amount of plastic packaging we consume is beyond atrocious.
It's actually amazing that governments haven't started to legislate plastic packaging better. For example, so many products use different plastics in the same packaging which effectively means it cannot be recycled without being separated
