Your Questions About Recycling

The Expert answers:

Recycling helps in many many ways,

Reusing materials, objects and resources from the earth helps reduce the amount of pollution, i.e. Greenhouse gases. However, to reuse a lot of things, they need to go through a process, which will use up a lot of energy, putting out more fumes into the atmosphere by actually running the machines.

They say that when you recycle your softdrink cans and any plastic bottles, you are doing a good job for the environment. In a way you are, but as i said before, they need to go through a process, a machine that uses up different resources that are from the earth, like fossil fuels and coal and oil ect.

To get these resources, there are mines, which are major contributors to global warming.

Recycling is one way you can save the world, but behind this there are more ways that are against saving the world.

To every good thing a person does to the world, there is a bad thing done by somebody else, may it be a machine or human…

Global Warming is a natural cause which has happened before. Humans are just a contributor to the cycle.

The Expert answers:

One legally finds scrap metal usually as a result of their job (i.e. – they create it as a part of their job).

Other people find scrap metal illegally by going to construction related business and stealing copper, aluminum and steel from the office or job site. The jail time and fines from this are NOT cost effective. Most construction sites now have video survailence to catch people robbing them. Stealing man hole covers for scap is also illegal. The recycling place will often report you to the police for attempting to turn a man hoel cover.

Your items listed are not good for scrap.

If you want to get into metal recycling, try approching places of business (offices mostly) and asking to put recycling cans for plastic and aluminum in the employee break areas. You will need to pick them up every other day, but some places may generate a lot of stuff for you.

I did this while working as a facility manager for a 3 story office building, until management figured out that I was making $200.00 a month from it. Then, they suddenly implemented a recycling program as they felt I had given myself an unauthorized raise.

It was really bad because I was donating the $200.00 a month to a homeless shelter (I was making just above minimum wage and had no extra cash, but wanted to find a way to donate to the shelter).

When I left, they cancelled the program as it was too much work. Plus they started locking the dumpsters so no one could get into it to get the recyclables.

The Expert answers:

Since recycled products are usually recycled within their local region, recycling creates jobs for local workers and helps us utilize resources we already have on our soil. For example, we don’t have to send our money to Brazil, China, Australia, or Russia to get new aluminum, as the pure product already exists in the community.

The Expert answers:

There are huge benefits from recycling, the primary effect is on the local economy, with jobs created in your community. The materials collected can then be sold bringing local funds back to your economy, whether this be to individuals, companies or local government / councils.

By not recycling, we end up using more raw materials, more energy to produce the product and release huge amounts of Co2. The additional cost incurred to the manufacturer is ultimately passed on to the consumer.

By recycling aluminium cans, it takes only 4% of the energy to recycle them than to produce them from raw materials. Saving 64 300 kWh/t. Taking the UK average price of 7.52p/kWh, this equates to a saving of £4 835/t of aluminium in energy costs and emissions of about 29t of Co2. This is enough to power a Virgin Pendolino train for 4537km, that’s over 15 one-way journeys from London Euston to Manchester Picadilly.

So as you can see, recycling can be beneficial financially and environmentally, however by not recycling additional landfills will need to be constructed by government paid through increases in council taxes. So not only is this a personal commitment, this is a community commitment, spread the word and reap the benefits that recycling can gain for your local economy.
