In today's society, everyone is all about going green. They want to make sure they recycle everything that is made of recyclable materials and put it in the appropriate garbage can for the recycling companies to pick up.
However, doing all of this is costing recycling companies a lot of money! Does this make sense?

Municipalities across the country are turning to privatization to balance their budgets, yet they demand the vendor spend millions to accommodate them. They want to move from rear-load service to automated; they want CNG trucks; they want everything imaginable recycled; they want yard waste to disappear; and now they want food waste collected (wasterecyclingnews.com).
If this was the case, how many trucks would be going up and down public streets on a daily basis? This would cause damage to the roads we all drive on, and more money to pay for the damage these trucks would cause. Who would be paying for all of the construction?
Plus, gas prices are soaring again these days, adding a heavy cost for recycling companies to continuously drive their trucks day after day to pick up all the materials it needs to.
So the question is, "Does going green really benefit everyone?" It doesn't seem that way. Let's hear what you have to say on our Facebook Wall, linked HERE.
