Today in the news I heard about another recycling program forced on the citizens. In the 80's I toured a manufacturing plant that was making large recycling equipment for communities. These machines would by installed in garbage receiving facilities and the trucks would dump their loads and it would move through these machines and separate the various pieces of garbage in high speed volumes. The separations were automatic with paid workers operating the various product flows.
Today we force citizens to recycle and hire workers to come around and pick up small boxes of stuff and deliver them to various sites for reuse when the bigger equipment would do the same at less cost to the citizens.
The possibility of being forced to pay a carbon tax is now possible with curbside pickups. The biggest problem is costs to the citizens when these very labor intensive pickups are used instead of the more operationally efficient equipment and systems.
