Wife and I were talking about that the other day. We create more garbage than we can handle. What is the solution? It’s certainly not recycling?
ha ha recycling has to be subsidized, so obviously it makes perfect economic sense to libtards.
TPTB here actually were considering banning GLASS from the recycling bins. The public outcry was strong to say the least.
Needless to say, the district backed off that plan. Only here would they expect you to wash your garbage, sort it, set it out on the street on specific days with a fine if the bin is out too long, and then start changing the acceptable materials in the bin.
Why are the libtards not running the recycljng centers out of the goodness of their hearts and all their positive vibes?
Do they only care about the money? Is that what it boils down to for them? They really want to put a price on the future of our children? Its just too much to save the earth?
They demand and guilt and picket other people to run stuff at losses to save the planet for them. They on the other hand, will shut down when it cuts into their bottom line.
This on top fo the fct they demanded all this recycling in the first place.
Can’t the recycling plants be run by windmills and solar panels?
The bigger part of this is not the low prices for recyclables but that the state is taking deposits on materials they never return the deposits on. Let a private business try that.
The Dems skimimg Green funds again?
Waste Management here in Oakland has a minimum charge of $47 per carload to drop stuff off. That’s why there is so much trash dumped onto the street.
Give it over to the private sector and the problem will sort itself out and the state will still get revenue.
According to my local “recycling “experts. Yes.
We are encouraged not to rinse as it wastes water.
BS. I personally know a manager for one of the recycling companies in downtown L.A. There is almost NO cost to acquire the goods such as aluminum due to the huge number of people willing to collect it such as bums and illegals.
The real problem is the state and city fudge the numbers and they already decreased the returns to the companies while raising taxes at the same time.
Anyone remember how you pay 10 CENTS per paper or plastic bag in L.A.? If that’s another cash flow for ‘recycling’, then why is there still a decrease in returns for the recycling process?
And I’ll tell you what. The CRV is actually a “deposit” that buyers can get back IF you return it to the city or state. It is not actually a recycling fee. This was explained by a retired state recycling officer.
What a pair of horribly written paragraphs. AP and others continue to hire these green J-school majors who have been taught to substitute opinion for fact and lard up their writing with weasel words and virtue signaling.
True. Recycling bins are the yellow Livestrong wrist bands for immature liberals who are ignorant of physics.
My friend works at Magic Mountain in Valencia and I was surprised when he told me that all the recycling bins at the amusement park are emptied into the regular garbage trucks and taken to the landfill. Sad. All the plastic water bottles go to landfill rather than plasma recyclers, because our politicians are ignorant of physics and plasma.
Plasma recyclers do both recycling and electricity generating: a win/win situation for every big city.
It’s not just rinsing out pop cans. I use lots of water to clean my tin cans and aluminum cat food cans. Often cleaning up items for recycling takes too much water.
That would be a “no?”
Yes, several discussions with local waste management folks.
