What I don't understand are the economics of this. Covanta will be driving by my house 1/2 as many times a week, so saving money on trucks, fuel, labor, etc. Then they're going to burn my trash and sell the energy to somebody. Plus they're going to take out the metal and sell it, presumably for a profit, or they wouldn't be doing it.
So they're spending less and bringing in more, but somehow this costs me more?
