t's been said one man's trash is another man's treasure, but in Seattle, everyone's trash is the business of government. Not that it should be that way.

Recycling aluminum cans is probably worth the trouble. We stockpile ferrous metals at home until I have a ton or so to make it worth the trip. Recycling electronics to get the precious and rare earth metals is probably worth it. Plastics? Fuggedabout ever getting them clean enough to reuse. Chip and landfill them until they're worth mining. Paper? Better to burn for heat or compost it. Tires? I have no clue. Food and yard waste we compost anyway.
