The main problem with recycling is the availability of markets for the things we try to recycle. Pure 1 p.m. to 2 a.m., things can be sold and reused. Mixed-use plastic is less likely.

People do not pay taxes or charges assessed the garbage collection. The recycling program must be cost be as free as possible and preferably to earn money. Limiting the collection of high-quality plastic things that help.
