You'd think that some business would have figured out a way to transform waste into usable materials because that would enable the business to have a free and unlimited supply of raw materials.steph
i recycle all the time and i do road clean ups a lot to pick up the litter people throw out of their cars and onto the side of the roads. i get to wear those cool orange vests =P.pkw
I love what they do where we live, though I think it would help if they took it further. You're only allowed 6-7 bags of household trash, and if you go over that, they charge you double for the pick up. On the other hand, the recycling facility is free, but you have to take it there yourself and put it with their guidance in the right places.

In my township, not recycling can get you a fine. We have a list of what they recycle. If they find what's on that list in your trash, you get a fine. I recycle more than what is on that list. I dump food in my garden (fertilizer). I weed and the weeds go in the garden. I go out on weekends with two trashbags and wander the roads picking up trash. Cans in one bag, regular trash in the other. Aluminum cans are worth a few cents a pound. I take a truckload. Newspapers go in my newspaper collection ... lots moreMeandering
