The only reason why they "make some money" is because the government

As I said before, things like metal and some paper, in some places,
will make sense to transport but you can test that yourself. Go to a
scrap yard and see what they will pay you for a truckload of it.

Then balance that against what it costs for us to actually collect and
sort it.

Does _Cash for Clunkers_ ring a bell?

Yea, that moonbat program fuxored the used car market for quite a while because many of the "clunkers" were perfectly serviceable vehicles and the regulations called for the destruction of the engines. What kind of complete moonbattery is that? We must get the loons out of government and it will probably take an armed rebellion. I can't fight anymore so I'd have to drive a suicide wheelchair and sacrifice myself in the name of his Lord, The Flying Spaghetti Monster. I'd be honored to get my 72 meatballs. 8-)
