I hate to burst your bubble, but all that recycling you have been doing just goes right to the same landfill as your dirty diapers. The deal was done just to get federal monies to get recycling going. The only thing recycled are the aluminum cans.

Sorry!

For many years, the secret in Seattle was that paper recylcing was shipped to Taiwan for incineration.

Taiwan got electricity, and we got the bill: Garbage costs went from about $10 / month to about $30 / month.

Wow, thanks for the research. I guess I'll just trust you. Again thanks. On second thought, maybe I'll just think for myself, and do my own research.

Gosh. I'll have to tell that to my husband...who happens to manage a paper and aluminum recycling plant.

Next time you grocery shop take a look at the bottom of the paper bag. That's just *one* clue as to how paper is being recycled.

Toodles.
