1. It seems wiser to save recyclables (for future use) than to bury them--especially in hard times. I continue saving my quarters even though they are worth less than they were a year ago. 2.If Asian markets can recycle and re-use materials more efficiently than we can, perhaps they can outright buy our unsorted recycled materials that we load onto freighters. It would be one more thing America can not do for itself, but it would be a market: selling our refuse.
