Only recycling because of a financial reward is disgustingly petty & a cop-out. I provided recycling containers for plastics & aluminum cans for my break room at work & the kids & I crush them. They know I’m a tree-hugger & proud of it. They get half of the profit & the other half goes to help support their local 4H club. This may seem as though the profit is important but I like to think it’s positive reinforcement for the next generation. I can honestly say I’d do it for free! I buy the can, use the can & recycle the can. It’s a positive loop. So stop making excuses for why you don’t do it & get with the program! If you don’t want to recycle cans & plastics then use glass that way you are part of the solution instead of the problem.

Recycling is a choice. Do it or don’t do it.

AFTER READING THIS ARTICLE I AM FELLING CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BURNING PROBLEM OF RECYCLING . REUSE OF THE RESOURCES IS BECOMING IMPORTANT DAY BY DAY AND THE RATE OF RECYCLING IS REDUCING GRADUALLY A OUTCOME. I WOULD LIKE TO APPEAL TO ALL THOSE READERS TO TAKE STEPS FOR IT NO MATTER WE DON’T GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT. IN THE END WE WILL HAVE A BETTER PLANET.
