Recycling?

Question

why does it cost money to recycle if its something we need to do?

Answer 1

Recycle, the newspapers say we use recycled paper to save money then they raise the prices. ussually recycle centers are free but not worth the hassle since you dont save from it. lets face it, its a profitable bussiness instead of treated like we need to do it. they make money on our donations. mine go right to the trash, I already pay that bill and its easier.

Answer 2

This question makes no sense. Are you talking about deposit laws or municipality taxes?

Answer 3

We need to take a c**p, butt it costs money to flush our toilet...  Most recycling is free anyways.  In fact some places you can make money from certain glass or aluminum.

Answer 4

There is a cost to the extra work involved in collecting, sorting and shipping the recycled materials. Recycling does require a separate and parallel collection network that otherwise wouldn't exist. This creates jobs (that increase payroll). However, there is some savings in the recycled materials as there is less processing to reuse existing materials instead of beginning from raw materials.

Answer 5

I don't have to pay for recycling. In some cases, like aluminium, they would pay me.

Answer 6

We have a recycling company near where we live that pays for just about any recyclables brought in as long as it's separated . Any place that is charging you to give them the recycling is just sticking it to you.
