Yes, it does, it would fee weird to me too. It's also why I shred almost every piece of paper that leaves my house. But it's one thing to pick through for identity theft purposes, and another to pick through to find things I didn't use to the fullest extent.
If someone wants to sell my recyclables, or pick up a broken lamp they can repair and sell -- more power to them.
Of course, I also live in an apartment complex, and we have no recycling program at all...
