Friends,<br>
<br>
For the last few months, I have been saving aluminum pie plates, foil,
and small and large food pans for recycling. I get them from picnics,
parties, etc and had saved up 3 large bags of pans, etc.<br>
<br>
Well, I finally took them to the recycle center where I surrendered the
<b><big>8.1 pounds</big></b> of aluminum, which they called "foil"<br>
<br>
I made a grand total of $0.44. Doesn't seem worth the effort, does
it. How much of this perfectly useable aluminum ends up in land fills.<br>
Does the trash company salvage it from the recycle cans they pick up?
Or do people throw it in the land fill cans. If they paid more than
$.06 per pound, we might see more recycling of this metal. <br>
<br>
It takes a whole lot less energy to recycle aluminum that it does to
make if from the basic material. <br>
<br>
During World War II, there was very little waste as everyone recycled
everything for the war effort. Not today, we are the "throw away
society".<br>
<br>
Just my take or rant.<br>
<br>
