Glass, plastics... perhaps not a big money maker, but if it’s doing better than breaking even and can be reused, why not.

Yep. In my neck of the woods, recycling companies bid for the rights to pick up our recycling bins. The winning bid was something like $35,000 for 2015. So it's a net gain for the community.

As for next year, who knows?

In my neck of the woods, i contract out my own trash pickup. The contractor doesn’t really seem to care which bin contains what, so i can only conclude that the cost of the second, recycling pickup is built in to my quarterly payment.

Well, that’s interesting. Good idea. Let the private sector fight over it. I like that.
