“...Glass, plastics... perhaps not a big money maker, but if it’s doing better than breaking even and can be reused, why not...”
In most areas it does not even come close to breaking even. The benefit is in saved landfill space but it has a very high cost.
Yeah, save landfill space because we are running out of it. /s
Fly or drive across the US and count the actual number of landfills you see.
If it’s a negative cost, I’m not convinced it’s worth it then.
It’s stupid to do make-work when there’s plenty of raw materials out there.
