One man's trash

My local town waste disposal and recycling facility, albeit, pretty good, only takes plastics with a 1 or 2 recycling code.

What about plastics with 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7(others)? They too should be recycled. For instance, polystyrene foam cups can and should be recycled into more cups or insulation panels/fill.

If Dunkin Donuts recycled all their foam cups for a week, i bet you could insulate 100 homes. Just a guess, and probably a conservative one at that.

As I see it, much of our waste can be recycled or reused. Landfills should be a thing of the past. In this day and age, we can recycle anything, short of uranium. I mean, if you can recycle plastic bottles into fleece jackets and run cars on grease, come on.

In addition to being environmentally friendly, one man's trash can be one man's treasure $$$$. There is money in recycling, maybe not Bill Gates money, but newsprint is trading at $552. A ton.
