Most municipalities collect recycling and then just landfill it: https://www.earthday.org/plastic-recycling-is-a-lie/.

I find it very difficult to imagine that composting is actually legit.

You can't just label a program like this "a scam" on the basis of ... your feelings? Intuition? Biases? In other contexts, that's libel.
