Yes, lets keep losing money because it makes people feel good, as opposed to doing good. Because the intention is more important than the result… (sarc)

and in the end the contract will be renewed b/c the taxpayers will subsidize a losing proposition: recycling. We do it. We wash, sort, rinse, gift wrap the recycling only to be told the garbage is not recycling. As an act of micro aggression, I occasionally throw a plastic milk jug into regular garbage. Rinsed. Cap off, of course.

This is a very sad situation, but I’ve witnessed it in other places too. We have to weigh the extra cost to keep the recycle program going w/the cost to process and transport our garbage two counties away! Hoping when comparing those costs not to mention the waste of land that it will be taking that the extra costs will not be so hard to swallow.

How about all the Plastics and Glass collected be GIVEN to USA Companies that actually use that stuff for their Products. Companies us the Plastics to make Benches, Tables Outside Decks as well as other items and there are companies that use the Glass to make cool Counter Tops, Table Tops and other cool items. If you’re going to waste our Tax Dollars, at least you would be doing it for the Planet and NOT for another Park.

Have any measurements standards been set and then met to determine if recycling is even feasible.?

I’m surprised the Democrats haven’t already contracted with China.
