Here where I live there are homeless people that survive from recycling!You know why they don't recycle in Texas?
Because it doesn't pay anything.... Cans 38 cents a pound....
When I was living in LA Calif, they were paying $1.05 a pound. It was worth it there.
Glass got a good price.
Unless they raise the price they pay in recycling centers in Texas you'll see a whole lot less of it....
Human nature is such, unless it pays well, people won't go dumpster diving.
