I make money off of recycling by paying less to the garbage hauler for my garbage to be hauled and paying lower taxes because the stuff isn't landfilled. I also pay less for environmental cleanup. It takes a few seconds a day to sort the stuff, and I drive right by the collection center anyway whenever I visit my mother or shop at Costco, both of which I do weekly. The county charges an annual $210 per household refuse collection rate, plus an extra $5 a load to throw things away, but nothing if I am recycling. Plus which, recycling glass, cans, newspaper, yard waste (grass, leaves, brush), applicances and scrap metal is mandatory anyway. co.fairfax.va.us There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's no such thing as "free" hauling of rubbish, much less free storage. Either I pay the tax to put it in the dump, or I recycle it without having to pay tax. co.fairfax.va.us
