but you DONT just recycle those, add the glamour or people magazines with the coated paper covers, and the plactic windows on envelopes and whatever other munge of crap john and jane smith put in their "paper" bin.

it is not possible to sort it all, so it is just put together, and put through a de-inking melting process that creates hazardeous waste equal to 20% of the volume recycled.

b4 you post to the board..
copy and paste your verbiage into Word, run spell check, select all, copy & paste over your initial post then submit it to the board

Simpler solution, get the Google toolbar. It has spellcheck for internet forms.

With that said, I still think it is rude and condescending to berate people for their grammar and spelling on an internet BBS.

Now back on topic.

Recycling? Don't do it. Don't have time. For the most part, my time = $$$

you obviously don't live in a major city....

you can get a huge fine in the city of Milwaukee for not recycling. i live in a suburab of it, and we have mandatory recycling too, IIRC $1500 first offense of not recycling.

we also have to purchase ($125 a pop) our own "recycling bins" from the city.

I live in an outlying comunity, we just now had new recycling cans delevaered, their enourmious, and their are two of them, twice the size of the Garbage cans, a friend told me whear he lives it is manadatory that you recyclie, I feared the same, but I called the garbage company and they said not to wory they would pick them up and I did not have to use them.

The only things I recycle are aluminum cans and motor oil. The rest goes in the trash.

Metal- From what I gather acording to the various things I read and watched on documentry's, was largely an iffy thing, a lot of metal that was collected was actualy smeleted down into these odd round balls and shiped off to Mexico and buried in the ground. Copper I know is a very reclicable metal, or at least one worth some coin at the scrap yard.   Alunimum as I mentioned above is easly reclicable, it was the only universal metal (and materal in general) that was realy good to recycle. Most cars are made with Non Steal compontets I belave now days alinumium and plastics compose most of the boddy with some steal aloy in the frame I beelave.

You better stop watching crap TV or find better channel.

Steel is the most recycled metal alloy in USA. More than 60% of USA made steel is from recycled scrap metal. Recycled steel saves some 50% on energy cost alone. Majority of post production scrap steel comes from...CARS.
If you don't believe, just go to your closest foundry and ask, how and why... (steel recycling is mainly NOT subsidized)

Aluminum, most is recycled from production scrap, post production scrap comes mainly from collected cans. Saves 90% on energy. Yeah 90%. Even though aluminum is most abundant metal, production is extremely expensive (high energy demand).

Glass, To recycle bottle to produce bottle, doesn't saves much. But there are other uses of recycled glass which saves a lot. Just think about all the fiberglass insulations.

Advice, next time you watch documentary, go and check some facts afterward... You know, Michael Moore made documentaries and look what came out of it.
