Of course, recycling is gonna be big business as we try to bring on those other 5 billion to our first class lifestyle - "soylent green" was the ultimate extension of this recycling process - have you seen the movie?

I'd guess it's because of the mercury, same as in Seattle. That includes compact florescent light bulbs and florescent light tubes, mercury and/or silver batters, and other environmental toxins. Funny thing though is they don't want it in the landfill, yet they require all 1.5 million area residents to drive to one of two or three HAZMAT sites (with an appt.) to dispose of it. Another plan would be to allow you to set that stuff out with your garbage in a special tray, say, once a month or once every three months, and they could divert 10x or 100x as much out of the landfill as their current policy.
