Thank you, Harry. That's a great site and explains everything and tells you where to go. I'll keep it and print it for reference.

Notice today in "The Daily Sun" from the Sumter County Public Works. Page D 13. 1/4 page and hard to miss.

10 Ways Recycling Hurts the Environment - Listverse


"The biggest reason recycling hurts the environment doesn’t have anything to do with the technical process—it’s the mindset it gives people. The idea is that by putting materials in the recycle bin, by buying products made from recycled material, we’re saving the environment—we’re all a team of individual Captain Planets, kicking pollution to the curb. But how effective is that when the US alone still produces 250 million tons of trash every year?

Recycling’s main impact is to convince us that it’s okay to be wasteful in other areas, because we make up for it through recycling. It encourages consumption, rather than pointing out ways to reduce consumption overall."
