Our scrapping system does work well and it’s a crying shame that the same doesn’t exist in the US. Recycling metal is very efficient, particularly aluminium – it takes 7 times less energy to recycle a can than make a new one from bauxite.
Water is a difficult problem, we too have flooding in UK and frequently the storm water is allowed to flow out to the sea when we too have areas subject to extreme drought, usually from water abstraction of nearby smaller rivers in the drier areas of UK. To transport water around is a real challenge, it would need the setting up of a national grid of water courses and this we simply do not have the resources to achieve. Whilst we have larger rivers not all run in the same direction, nor do they connect, not even by canal systems.
At present the greatest impact would be to simply use less water: the car doesn’t need to be washed each week; don’t run the tap when brushing your teeth; don’t think that a power shower uses less water than a bath – it can use just as much and is not an economy; save rainwater for watering the garden and don’t ever use sprinklers; wash dishes by hand; never run the washing machine for only one garment. Simple really.

The biggest advantage is extending the life of a landfill. We are running out of places to bury our garbage. On the east coast many cities have to burn it or pay to ship it out of state. The more we recycle the longer a landfill will last. The cheaper your waste removal bill will be.

Orange Juice cartons are made with paper on the outside and a thin plastic layer inside of them to keep the paper from getting wet. They are working on ways to recycle these cartons by putting them through a process called “hydropulping” but at the moment some recycling facilities have not adopted the new technology. Thus, those Orange Juice cartons are not recyclable in some areas.

Orange Juice cartons look like all paper cereal boxes but they are not and until these new techniques are adopted in your area they are not recyclable. Call your local recycling facility and ask them why they do not recycle them and inform them about the new techniques available.

As a strong supporter of reuse, reduce, recycle let me say that the mobile cell phone is like the old Gillette Razor blade made of stainless steel. The whining alarmist back then predicted all those used blade would ruin every thing, and said we should continue to use the straight razor, which would last forever. So as far as helping yes but not enough to be noticeable.

The Expert answers:

If you take the need to find new resources out of the equation on balance most recycling is neutral.

The energy in most products goes into finding and refining the ore,oil,timber etc than goes into the manufacture of the final product. With recycling you have problems with perceived in some cases real dangers eg pesticide being stored or mixed in a plastic milk bottle it then being thrown into the recycling. With aluminum and steel you have very high heats which will destroy almost any contaminant. The amount of heat needed in recycled metals is less than that required to extract and purify from raw ore.

If we are talking about household waste streams then recycling is definitely better for the environment if you are able to get the waste stream separated at the source. I.e. The householder having four or five bins. One for glass waste, one for plastics, one for paper and another for organic waste you may also need another bin for the non-recyclables. My city has a plant which can separate glass, metals and plastics.We have only one recycling bin. We put out paper rubbish separately. We will soon have a bin for organic waste.

In industrial situations many time the problem is not separating the waste but finding someone to use the waste or able to use it safely. Eg treated timber off cuts.

Many demolition people now have very good recycling systems set up as it is cheaper for them to do this than send the material to the land fill.

The Expert answers:

Depends, how much paper do you want to recycle

The Expert answers:

Actually, no.

In fact, the Social Security Administration maintains a “Death Master File” of every person who has been reported as dead and what their SSN was. (There are presently over 83 Million entries).

Even in this day of “Identity Theft”, once a person is reported to the Social Security Administration as deceased, they release not only the person’s name and Social Security number, but you can even order a copy of the person’s original SSN application form (SS-5) which contains a multitude of genological information.

The reason this information is given out so easily, is that once a person dies they are no longer protected by Identity Theft laws, and since this information is “government record”, it must be made available in accordance with the “Freedom of Information Act”. The “Death Master File” is used to prevent fraud so that no one can steal a dead person’s identity or take-out credit cards in the name of a dead person.

Which is why they NEVER reuse Social Security numbers…

….contrary to some people who like to pull answers out of their back ends without taking time to research them first.

The “Death Master File” is protected by the Social Security Administration, but a database has been created called the “Social Security Death Index” which is accessable through many geneology web sites if you are interested in researching information on a dead person. The database is searchable by many different criteria.

They represent the different types of plastics, and their recycling potential. It will also help you in what types of plastics can be recycled. Those with a #1 are the most widely recycled products, whereas those with a #3 or #4 (for example) are usually the least recycled.

The Expert answers:

If you look on the bottom of any container and see a recycling symbol, it can be recycled.
The only thing to concern one’s self with when recycling is that not all waste management companies or recycling centers will accept everything with a recycle symbol due to their capabilities – your local waste management company should provide recycling guidelines for curbside pickup or recycle center drop off.

The #6 refers to the resin within the plastic container itself – polystyrene (PS). Another common name of #6 products is “styrofoam.”

The use of these containers can leach styrene into your food.
Cancer research suggests that it’s use poses health risks.
Please, for health’s sake, DO NOT reheat any take-out food in #6 containers (and other plastic containers, for that matter).

FYI, the link provided does reference the Three plastics to avoid, if at all possible, and will give you a complete list of the recycle numbers and their meanings.

Hope this helps with your research project.
Best of luck to you!!

The Expert answers:

The number associated with plastics both explain the origin of the plastic and it’s safety in regards to food storage.

1 Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) – used for clear water bottles, juice and soda bottles, etc. Leaches trioxide and pthalate, known carcinogens and endocrine disrupters (see note at bottom).

2 High density polyethylene (HDPE) – used for opaque plastics like milk jugs, cereal bags, shampoo bottles. Considered SAFE for food and beverage storage.

3 Polyvinyl chloride (V or Vinyl or PVC) – used for plastic food wrap, toys, food containers, medical and plumbing tubing. Has been described as one of the most hazardous consumer products ever created. Leaches various kinds of pthalates, including those that are illegal in other parts of the world.

4 Low density polyethylene (LDPE) – used in bread bags, dry cleaning bags, etc. Considered SAFE.

5 Polypropylene (PP) – used for baby bottles, yogurt containers, straws, ketchup bottles, etc. Considered SAFE.

6 Polystyrene (PS) – Styrofoam… Take out containers, egg cartons, meat trays, plastic utensils, CD cases. Leaches styrene, a known endocrine disrupter.

7 Other – the catch-all category that includes both the newer, safer plastics that are still uncategorized and older, dangerous polycarbonate items. Polycarbonates leach Bisphenol-A (BPA), the cause of the recent baby bottle recall across the US and Canada. BPA is another known endocrine disrupter.

Most of those cans will say “steel” with the 3 recyle arrows circling it, or will have a message thats says “Steel, please recycle”

They don’t pay but they are worth so little that just yours are not worth the trouble. Working for a reclaiming center is a lousy job for people that can’t find a decent job.

Yes, it should be illegal in all 50 states. People still throw credit card applications etc. In the trash. This method is one of the biggest forms of identity theft. My advice, invest in a shredder.

The Expert answers:

Actually, in most states, once the trash or recycling is set to the street, it is considered abandoned…therefore you can help yourself.

I do not see the reasoning for making it illegal.

The Expert answers:

The system in the UK is similar to the US in that the plastic milk bottles are sorted according to their polymer type by Infra-Red Technology. Different polymers reflect light in different ways, but HDPE bottles always reflect light one way, whereas PET bottles always reflect light another. The only exception is black containers – but that’s because they absorb way too much light, so its too difficult to detect what is what.

Once the bottles are sorted they get washed, grinded and then flaked, before being extruded into rHDPE pellets.

There are a couple of problems yet to be sorted with rHDPE.
The first is that if you start adding more than say 30% of rHDPE you start to notice a green tinge to the bottle. That’s because rHDPE cleaned pellets are green (I have a small handfull on my desk and they remind me a bit like Kryptonite!). Obviously this doesn’t make the milk look too good either. (See pages 24-28 of the full report in the link below).

The other problem is that sometimes people use milk bottles to hold detergents or other strong scented products as a secondary use before putting into the recycling stream.

Despite going through super-clean processes and passing food-safety tests, the polymer can still have a faint odour smell. Organoleptic tests have been conducted on this and all have concluded that it didn’t affect the taste profile of milk, yet it remained. This is why batches of Post Consumer Waste milk bottles are checked religously to ensure this does not occur.

If it goes to landfill, then it sits there for a long long long time.

People need to start thinking as if they were in other people soes and animals places, but a lot of people are selfish and do not care about the futures of out children and animals…it is quite sad and pathetic how destructive and messy we are… 🙁 anyways i hope that this may help you in some way to inspire other people…

The Expert answers:

Studies show that 60% to 75% of garbage in landfills can be recycled. That means that if everybody recycled, we’d have 60% to 75% less garbage in our landfills. Recycling is important, so don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. It is important because many resources are running out, so recycling keeps them going so that we don’t run out.

The Expert answers:

Deleting or emptying your recycle bin does not mean those files are gone forever. But if you want any hope of getting them back, the sooner you act the better. What you need to do is get data recovery software

With data recovery software you can scan the lower levels of your hard drive where in many cases the memory remains. Try it out yourself for free at:
http://www.001-software.com/file-recovery/

The Expert answers:

System Restore will not help in this situation (unless it was a program or registry item you were referring to).

The only option unless you have a backup program or a backup as-you-go program like Norton Ghost on your system is to use a program like Uneraser with limited results. This normally depends on how long ago they were deleted etc. I have included a link to the free download in references.

Often I find I have versions of a file on email from last week and I forgot so try and think back and it may be on a disk somewhere. Otherwise try Uneraser or another file restore program. I have put more results in the second reference.

The Expert answers:

Right click on the desktop/personalize and on the left “change desktop icons” there check mark the recycle bin icon.

IF you’re lucky (and they haven’t been overwritten yet), there’s a variety of software you can use to try get it back, some of which include:

RECUVA

Tune-up Utilities (one of many of the tools included in this great bit of software)
http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/

Davory (can be installed on a USB flashdrive)
http://www.x-ways.net/davory/index-m.html

BadCopy Pro
http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/

The other option is to send it off to a data recovery company such as OnTrack… Though that’s kinda pricey… About £20 to post the HDD via Royal Mail, £50 for OnTrack to look at it to see if the files can be recovered + £495 to recover the files on HDD’s under 500GB (or £1000 on HDD’s over 500GB). Http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.co.uk/
There are other companies out there capable of doing this, but OnTrack were the only company that bothered to get back to me (they’re also used by NASA… Recovered data off the trashed hard drives out the crashed Space Shuttle Columbia).

You can try to recover files deleted from Recycle Bin with asoftech photo recovery software:

The Expert answers:

I did this once before, you have to go to your control panel, and look for personalization, then on the top left under where it says Tasks, look for “Change Desktop Icons”

Then, click the box next to “Recycle Bin” And hit apply, then it will appear back on your desktop 😀

The Expert answers:

Did you click the apply button after changing the values? When you change something there you need to click apply first and then ok so the new settings can take effect.

The Expert answers:

You can often successfully recover deleted files from a PC, it all depends on what has happened since the files were deleted.
When you delete files the data itself isn’t deleted, just the index entry that tells the system where the data for those files is located. The area containing the deleted data is also now marked as free space so it is available for any new files to be written there instead.

If and when that happens, then it is too late to recover your deleted files so it is very, very important to not save any new files or data to the device concerned.

One of the easiest ways to recover these files are using asoftech photo recovery pro (http://www.asoftech.com/apr/). It is able to recover photos, videos, documents.
