Re: recycling question




If the producers of product had vested interest in the end use of said 
product then we would see a greater capitalist investment and return 
structure as far as recycling goes.
  It is incredibly difficult for a whole maze of publicly stigmatized 
government regulated reasons to go around town picking up junk that might 
have tin and glass and what not ...Then sort it in piles in your yard or 
parking lot,  saving it until the market for each product becomes 
profitable.
Substantially refined recyclables like old cars or even clothes tend to be 
easier to make a profit off of and thus wrecking yards and Good Will stores 
tend to be more self supportable....in the rules of present economic 
structure.
Change the rules at the top and the bottom won't be so sore.
