“That’s simply not true, it requires very large amounts of money to be confiscated from taxpayers.”
You know, you’re simply making that up.
In the county I live in, the recycling program is run as an enterprise fund of the county and actually turns a profit that is used to fund a number of other related programs.
Much of the revenues come from contracts and services to large commercial organizations who find it much cheaper to pay to have recyclable materials hauled to the recycling center for processing rather than paying to have those materials hauled to a landfill because landfill tipping fees are so expensive.
The same is actually true for private individuals here: our overall solid waste fees are actually reduced because it’s cheaper for the haulers to rid themselves of the recyclable materials at the county processing center rather than paying the tipping fees to dispose of those materials at a landfill.
Ah, so you do believe me.
Otherwise you would have quoted all the pertinent information I posted;
“That’s simply not true, it requires very large amounts of money to be confiscated from taxpayers.
The proof?
How many of the non-metal recycling efforts are operated by private enterprise unsubsidized?”
