Please don't, we pay enough already in extra taxes for that rip off too. The only common 'waste' product worth recycling is aluminum. Paper, cardboard, plastics, etc are far easier to produce new than to recycle, and they take up tremendous amounts of space and energy in transporting around, not to mention open payments by cities to have the waste hauled away. And odds are, most of it will actually end up in a landfill anyway.
Rip off indeed! Were it not for government interference, cities would have thermaldepolymerization facilities and could turn waste into oil....without the need to even have landfill properties.
