Your Questions About Recycling

The Expert answers:

I do recycle but I don’t do it for extra cashhh.

The Expert answers:

I don’t think you can get much for paper. Paper is very expensive to recycle. Not to mention all the pollution the factories cause on the Earth, it more eco friendly to trash paper then to recycle it.

Pretty much everything is cheaper to make from scratch then to recycle. The only commonly used material that is profitable to recycle is aluminium, you can get decent money from it.

And here is where I will preach that people need to look at the hard facts and judge for them self whether they think recycling is really beneficial to the planet and worth the amounts of financial aid it receives from our tax dollars. Putting waste in a landfill is not harmful, unless it is harmful material like nuclear waste. But most recyclable material is not harmful to the earth to be buried to decay. It’s it the natural coarse of things. And almost like the planet’s way of recycling if you think about it. Nor are we running out of landfill space. And landfills, when filled typically are turned into beautiful parks that do not smell and have trees and other plants planted on them (eco friendly). We are not running out of trees either, as when we cut down trees we plant more. Paper and wood is a hot seller and thus business take much care to make sure we have enough trees so they don’t run out.

Not to mention all the trees that are located in areas that are protected from being cut down.

Also there is no evidence that shows we are the cause of global warming. We don’t know why it is getting warmer. Also Global Warming is not some huge threat or cry for help from our planet. Not long ago the planet was slowly getting cooler over time. Throughout history the Earth as gone through stanges of getting warmer for a while then getting cooler for a while. Kind of like an up and down roller coaster. Slowly raising and falling.

And even if Global Warming were different to the normal raise and fall of temperature, if is not a real threat as it would take MILLIONS of years to see dangerous effects of it.

The Expert answers:

If you are referring to aluminum, glass and paper, you would go to a recycling center that buys such scrap. But you would have to take in hundreds of pounds for them to even let you through the door.

If you are referring to bottles and other items with a recycling deposit, usually the stores that sell them have to take them back and refund the deposit. That’s the point of the system.

If you are referring to stuff you cleaned out of the attic or garage, a second hand or thrift store that sells that type of item would be the place to go.
