Mostly though it's because if I had to put all that stuff in the garbage, I'd have to pay for double the garbage service.Mattbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743880099310194234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15300514.post-66967213314290051722009-01-06T07:30:00.000-08:002009-01-06T07:30:00.000-08:00Hmm to be honest I had never really thought about ...Hmm to be honest I had never really thought about it like that...however it makes much sense.

Turns out, it cost more for the campaign than it would have for them to clear clogs due to grease!JLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893491413749552746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15300514.post-62921436853411008532009-01-05T12:02:00.000-08:002009-01-05T12:02:00.000-08:00Why have any garbage handling facilities at all?

If you don't remove ...Mungsprout is exactly right. If you don't remove the lids and neck rings from plastic bottles they are not eligible for recycling. Most people don't read the rules for recycling either ... a pizza box cannot be recycled because it has grease on it ... therefore is landfill fodder.<BR/><BR/>As for using harsh chemicals to clean glass ... from what I have researched they melt the glass back to liquid, which removes any impurities, then they do whatever it is they do with it. <BR/><BR/>I agree with your bottom line though. We, as a society, need to being consumer gluttons. Buy what you need and need what you buy. It will save you a whole lot of money and the planet, all at the same time!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566777363495158706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15300514.post-63214920400456140552009-01-04T20:56:00.000-08:002009-01-04T20:56:00.000-08:00Alot of cities have just one great big bin for all...Alot of cities have just one great big bin for all recycling and if there is food in any of it or it isnt cleaned a certain way, it goes to landfill anyways.

Why don't we burn that trash and use the heat to generate electricity instead of burning coal & oil? We have to buy coal & oil in order to burn it and generate electricity. People will pay you to take their trash away. It's not that crazy of an idea... we used to do it back in the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
