What about the fact that it's right thing to do?


Sez you.

By the way, it is NOT free.


You got THAT right.

I have a good friend - a "small" business trash hauler - whose plan for
comfortable retirement was RUINED by the recycling craze.

He had to build a huge pole shed to accommodate a new aspect of the business
and purchase thousands of household bins. He sadly showed me the "recycled"
milk jugs that occupied fully one-third of the new shed from the ground to the
rafters because, at that time, there was no market for the plastic.

Our local, city-contracted hauler has stopped picking-up glass at curbside for
recycling. What's with that? Could it be that there is not enough gasp
PROFIT in it? I honestly don't know why the change was enacted.
