Recycling

theBubbler Member “kmfarm” responds to a thread titled: “Recycling“

Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2007 10:35 am

Good subject. I believe that the companies whe get the raw (recycled) materials from consumers should contribute financially to the effort.

The financial incentive for the company I work at is this: Anything going to the landfill is charged by the pound. So the less going to the landfill, the less we pay. So we collect recyclables simply as a way not to pay to go to the dump.

Consumers need to have a financial incentive to recycle as well.

When we go to our local dump weekly, we have to sort, clean and seperate recyclables from common trash. What makes us do it? It’s the rules for our dump. Do we occasionally sneak some recyclable material in with the regular trash? Yep. Why? Because it’s easier. What would make us 100% compliant? Money. If we had to repay a deposit on materials or got paid per pound for materials, we’d surely do better. Somebody is getting the material we’re sorting and getting something for it.

How many plastic bottles from the now poplar bottled water (paying for water is another subject I’ll tackle later) end up in the landfills. The majority I’m sure. Maybe that’s a good start for deposits on bottles. I kind of like that idea.
