Bottle TAX Being Proposed

[Wizard777]

It's not trash, it's recycling!

One mans trash is another mans recycling?

[Wizard777]

Recyling is manual intensive process and machines don't go good job cleaning recycles and dirty recycles increases cost of reycling.

Simple, a soup can with leftover soup. How do you separate organic material from the metal? Some of of big wash machine or melting it (which will take more energy and additional pollution if the can is not clean).

Easy! You shred the cans and bottles. Then you wash the shreded bits. Any organic material that makes it to the smelting process will simply be reduced to one of the building blocks of life, carbon.
