If recycling were economically justifiable, companies would be paying us to haul away our refuse.
I always wonder if the stuff that I toss in the recycle bin actually makes it to the recycle plant or is just tossed in with the rest of the garbage and ends up in the landfill.
I don’t mind recycling as it is a significant portion of my trash that ends up in the recycle bin. Maybe 30%.
Yes, but gub'mint subsidized, whether justified or not, could be the icing on the cake for a lot of the recyclers.
I think as far back as the late 1980s/early 1990s, the law of supply and demand was kicking in for munis expecting forced recycling to be a revenue generator.
