That supports the fact that the recycling industry is just another industry. It doesn't really do the planet much good.

I still recycle by bringing my cans, bottles and paper to the local transfer station. Or, if I'm going to Burlington, I bring them to my son's house because if he puts redeemable cans on his curb they're gone in 20 minutes. At least SOMEONE gains from recycling, even if it's just earning $5. Sometimes I cash in the cans myself, but it's a bit inconvenient up here.

I did get a DrinkMate and it has drastically cut down on the soda and seltzer cans and bottles DH and I used to use.
