This whole recycle thing and closing of land fills to be green has been a very expensive lesson on how the greens can screw up a simple situation.

How in the world could they know what you have in
those closed plastic garbage bags? We carry our
trash to a collection center, but years ago the man
who worked there told my husband all the stuff just
got dumped in the same hole at the landfill - no one
wanted it. They were just doing it to get people used
to it. So, I quit washing tuna cans and soda cans and
told them (in my head) that I would really recycle
when they really recycled. So far, it looks like at
least here they still dump it all in one hole. We do
compost everything possible & have been for 17 yrs. &
we recycle our newspapers by taking them to an auction
house for people to wrap their auction treasures in.
We still seem to produce a lot of garbage for two
people.

I take all of my newspapers to animal shelters for use in their cages. I think that is a direct hit as far as recycling goes.
Is there still money in recylcing cans? I know a rescue starting a can drive, and I will certainly be saving my diet coke cans for them!

How to tell when recycling makes sense:
When the government pays US for the opportunity to pick it up. I don't expect this to happen any time soon.
To: BigBobber
When our trash/garbage company bids with others for the right to pick up our garbage with the high bidder winning.
Then we will know that recycling really pays.
Our garbage bills have doubled or tripled since we started this Watermelon Scam less than two decades ago.
