The recycling sustainability mania has taken a hit in New Zealand. People like to have a religion and the environmental religion has been rampant for a few decades. Recycling has been a very popular means of worship. Now, there is so little value in the recycled materials that it's going to the dump. People assiduously clean and separate their rubbish for recycling and put it in different containers. Then rubbish trucks come and collect it. Then take it to the dump. It's amusing. Now there's much gnashing of teeth and wailing. But that doesn't change economics.

Rubbish should be seen for what it is which is just a potential source of raw materials. If there's money in it, then fine, collect it and reuse it. If there's not, then use it to built some nice mountains which would be convenient viewing points such as Parliament Hill in London, or Primrose Hill [neither of which are old rubbish dumps, but if some similar nice hills are built with rubbish, they'd be handy recreation areas.
