More proof that recycling is a wasted effort
Time to throw out the myth of recycling:

Recycling is done thru guilt or fear and since it requires gov't mandates it is obviously uneconomic. Where I live they charge you extra in your rubbish pickup if you wish to recycle (it's not mandatory as Texas still believes in some independent thinking and personal freedom)-I refused that extra charge with glee and throw everything in the same space-saving 45 gal can in my garage.
Recycling is the equivalent of genuflection to the earth religion. Do the curb side stoop with your offerings to the earth goddess as mandated by the environmental wack jobs.
NYC stopped recycling last year as it cost too much. How many cities and states could improve their broken budgets by doing away with unneeded and useless green religion mandates??
