Should We Recycle?
Return to keep it simple
Back in the day - a bottle, egg carton, etc was taken to any store that sold the item and redeemed for cash. I don't know why or when the middle man mentality of 'redemption centers' came about but it is too inconvenient for all but the most dedicated.
So, recycle? Yes, always and all things. Do it wisely and everyone will be involved. Anyone making a profit from selling an item must also share the responsibility of being part the recycle chain.
