'Price scared to address the issue, instead bulls**ts his way through guest comments': The Project's Steve slammed for his segment on recycling
He is renowned for his controversial comments as a panelist on Ten's The Project.
But on Thursday, radio shock jock Steve Price was slammed online after he 'failed to address the issue' of gender stereotypes and recycling during an on-air segment.
Steve, who appeared on the show to discuss men's attitude towards recycling, was accused of avoiding the real issue and instead making light of the research.
'That stunk!' Steve Price was slammed online, after he didn't 'address the issue' of gender stereotypes and recycling during an on-air segment
His comments were supposed to address a recent study that suggests men are afraid to recycle because people might think they are feminine or gay.
After co-host Rachel Corbett cheekily introduced Steve as 'old rubbish', the 64-year-old went on to describe his new fondness of hessian shopping bags.
'Look, I don't hate recycling, I just think it's a waste of time as all that stuff gets chucked in the same hole anyway,' Steve told the panelists.
Not happy! After the show aired, fans were quick to take to Twitter to comment on the segment and Steve's apparent failure to address the issue of a recycling crisis in Australia
'However... I'm now living in an area that is very diverse and walking up and down the street, I've managed to discover my inner sexuality and I'm starting to love recycling.'
Steve went on to say he has started using hessian bags from his local shop Harris Farm, and then produced a bag emblazoned with the words: 'I said no to plastic'.
'I've gone hessian, not plastic - So, I'm turning!' Steve quipped.

He then concluded by reflecting on his youth, saying men often were the ones who put out the trash, and if women care so much they should 'put the bloody bins out'.
After the show aired, fans were quick to take to Twitter to comment on the segment and Steve's apparent failure to address the issue of a recycling crisis in Australia.
'Price scared to address recycling issue, instead bulls**ts his way through guest comments. That stunk,' one person wrote, with an accompanying poo emoji.
'Not this man. Been using the same tote bag for 6 years,' another person said.
A third person added: 'F**kin d**kheads'.
