And they shouldn’t. We are very fortunate to have them. Otherwise our standards of living would plummet.

They’ve got quite an operation. A lot of hard work going on and with some very expensive equipment. I agree that much of the stuff isn’t worth anything. Aluminum is possibly profitable. Cardboard and other paper products can be recycled. I think one of their biggest benefits is keeping as much stuff as possible out of he landfill. You probably don’t want them to fill the one they’re using now and put another one near your house… It would be interesting if someone would do a series of stories on how all this works in Leon county. What’s getting recycled and what’s not? What’s profitable, break even, and what recycling do we lose money on? From what I’ve seen out there raising the cost by $80,000 is nothing. They’ll lose more than that in additional fuel costs, thanks to the Dems.
