Sorry, I still don't follow you. I pump my own gas so my car will run. I recycle so my trash can won,t fill up. In both cases I pay less because of what I do.

Do you pay for garbage by the can where you are? If so, this would be a positive incentive for recycling, if recycling costs less per can. But your incentive is probably eaten up by the subsidies on recycling, which is charged back to you in other ways.

The jury rigged system does make recycling an economically viable choice in some cases, but only does so at the cost of infringement on freedom and through hidden subsidies. If you are one of the winners of this system, you would be silly not to take the money.
