One reason recycling is promoted is because the trash contractor sells those materials to processors.

As for volume, we toss out more recyclables than garbage. In fact, it would be better with a once weekly garbage pick-up and twice weekly recycle pick up -- at least for me it would.

The "trash contractor" is none other than our Mr. Gary Morse.
You know the old saying that one man's trash is another man's treasure???
Well -- he is the one making money from our (recycled) trash!
