Our Founding Fathers set up a system to measure whether or not recycling makes sense.

We should all use it.

It falls under the defination of capitalism.

If we make money recycling, we should, if we don’t, we should just throw it away.

Each of us should use that as a measure.

The do-gooders in my town sent every house a pretty blue recycling bin...and a bill for $9.85 along with a modest cost increase.

I immediately wrote the mayor and told her that I would not be using the bin and wanted my $9.85 back.

As low as they are,I have some standards. One of them is refusing to wash out my garbage before I put it on the street.

I’m still waiting for my check.

Every week my town sends one garbage truck around to collect the trash, and another truck (emitting more pollution into the air) to pick up the recyclables. How this is good for the environment has never been made clear.

I have always been of the opinion that if it is profitable to recycle something, the private sector will make it happen. Government coerced recycling is counterproductive and should be eliminated. Jut because it makes a few greenies feel good is not a good enough reason to recycle.

While it is against a city ordinance to put certain recyclables in the trash, some end up there anyway. While we dutifully put our newspapers in brown paper bags, there is simply no place to send them to be recycled that makes any economic sense. While newspapers are collected as a recyclable, they end up in the landfill anyway.
