Garbage!

[on:]

I though of something. In the episode A Big Piece of Garbage, Leela Fry and Bender talk about how everything is recycled, and there is no garbage. But in a later episode, Fry's fresh-a-licious snack "produces an awful lot of trash" according to Leela. This either involves a wizard, or their garbage producing spree at the end of the above episode caught on enough to start making trash again...

A wizard did it.

maybe she complains cos hes always messy and as i remmeber (might be wrong tho) they dont say that its not gonna be recycled. like in the episode where fry and bender r looking for an apartment they throw litter evry where, maybe it just gets recycled l8er

Once a man understands how to make garbage and there is no chance to stop him in future.
 
On the other hand. Leela said so because at that point she knew how “to make garbage”. Fry already told her how to do it in the earlier episode. And it doesn't mean that everyone started to “produce trash” since they knew how to do it.  I see no wizard here.

Obviously Fry is not recycling, else the huge pile of wrappings and cookie sections wouldn't be there, so of course he's "making a lot of trash."

Simple answer - Fry's too lazy to stick the trash in the recycling bin/machine.

Ey, that was Lucy Lawless.

Besides we killed the wizard long time ago.

With lazy guys lke Sal and Fry around I think a combination of Nix and Fred's posts will explain it. People learned to make garbage in ABBOG, afterwards part of the population returned to recycling and the rest just kept on littering around. So obviously enviroment-conscious people, like Leela, will try to get the lazy people to recycle and thus save the planet.

It is quite simple (as a few people have pointed out), Fry is too lazy to recycle.

You nerds.  The writers don't care much about continuity.  They wanted to put that cookie joke in, and damnit, I think it was worth it.  Continuity glitches add to the comedy value.

Exactly. It was a wizard.

Yoda: "Another wizard, there is."
