I agree.
Having come from a large NE city we at least in my neighborhood had to recycle. We had recycle in our city but the revenue collectors only wrote fines in the better neighborhoods because they knew we’d pay. The ghetto, not so much.
I used to recycle every single piece of paper, can, plastic, and glass. For my family of 6 I think if the old pig farmers came aroung I wouldn’t have had any trash.
The thing is the international market for commodities is flat and negative. Nobody is buying the recycled paper cans and glass like before. Therefore the market collapses. Supply overextended and demand declining is not good for recyclers.
Thanks. I like to hear what others are doing. Learn something new all the time.
