There are dozens of stories about how recyling has failed or does not work, but right now recyled paper - for newsprint is 126.00 a ton higher (167 vs 41.00)than in the summer of 2009. So if you kept all the newsprint and cardborad boxes for your neighbors, or your city during 2009 you would have made more money than any stock tip. Aluminim cans still fetch 50 cents a pound that aluminum goes into some very important products made in America...like cars.
How utterly pathetic.
