There is only one photograph, where are the others?
In California, recycling is a scam. The state oversees the entire operation and it has always been in the red. In addition, the state charges tax on the redemption price of the bottles or cans, so you never get your redemption price back because of it. In consideration of the fuel required to get to recycling centers and the failure to get a refund of the tax collected on the redemption value, you are in the hole, screwed. Of course this makes perfect sense to the RATS in the CA legislature and Moonbeam Governor Brown—it is right there in front of their eyes that the state is loosing money yet they continue with this idiotic scam.
If recycling is “good for the bottle and good for the can” as the ads say, privatize it and let’s see who comes out ahead—without a state subsidy.
