That doesn't make sense: spending $24 to retrieve 75¢ of materials is a massive loss, not a win. Throwing stuff away isn't a problem (the world's huge; besides, today's landfills will be a future generation's mines); throwing recyclable stuff away isn't a problem (why, every day you excrete water which you could distil & drink — at a ridiculous cost); throwing away stuff which could be recycled or reused profitably is a problem.
