but for the near future, costs are going to skyrocket. It will be interesting to see how cities and individuals handle it. Or city is currently debating whether to scrap the program for now.

Not very efficient. Mostly because people recycle

True to an extent, although with China refusing to take recycling

The problem was that China would accept almost anything. Totally contaminated

It is cheaper to just dump it in the landfill. Always has been.

One of those things to make people feel good but don’t have the desired results

100% correct. By and large, scam so politicians can claim to

I guess you have to ask yourself if mummifying your garbage

Sometimes when we would make our annual volume forecasts at the landfill

As you know I represent some waste disposal companies. I can 100% verify that

There needs to be some way to gamify recycling.
