Hope this is not like what happened with the sale of the trash collection business and the addition of recycling pick ups.
I thought the goal of recycling was to reduce tipping fee charges and prevent recyclable items from winding up in landfills. I expected recycling to either return a profit or at least reduce overall costs. Boy, were we wrong.
In TV, we started recycling but it came with an added cost to homeowners for once a week pick up and the special bags we must purchase and use. A significant amount of what was formerly waste now winds up being recycled yet there has been with no reduction in price of trash pick up costs and we were hit with the cost of recycling. Go figure!!!
