Here's what I think of recycling. Bet you didn't know there were so many enviro kook Freepers
That was a good thread. I whole-heartedly support your position.
A FULL one ton truck cost me $1.50... (early 70's) and "recycling" was done by a bunch of folks hanging around, that that could hardly wait for you to drop it off and scavage "treasures". Some would even give you a hand to off load it! 90% of the time I would grab some thrown off "treasure" myself from somebody's pile!
I suppose the buck and a half was to pay the old guy that ran the D8 over the stuff that nobody wanted...
