Recycling Myths
May 5th, 2009
It’s published more than 5 years ago, but still every bit true.
Some materials cost so much to recycle, that if it weren’t for forced, tax-supported (think CRV) recycling programs, no one would bother recycling.
Some programs, especially ones that recycle metal resources like aluminum cans, are highly successful, but even for those there’s no need to support such programs with CRV. If there’s demand for such recycled material, someone will step up and fill the niche. It doesn’t have to be the government.
