I mostly recycle because my town charges more for a larger garbage can but gives you a huge recycle bin for free. I could even request a second giant recycle bin, twice the size of my trash bin, for free if I somehow needed it. Even if it all ends up in the landfill (I try to follow their guidelines to avoid this), recycling saves me money every month.
- _8j50 3y agoI know a lot of cali people that recycle a lot and cash in on plastic bottles and bags and all that. I think it's good but also creates a "cobra effect" type perverse incentive where people are more inclined to get plastic containerd stuff because of the potential reward instead of getting a brita for example. There is a different front page post about reduce/reuse being as imprtant than recycle but imho, reduce is most important. Less trash == better life.
