While the public message is "Recycling is easy and saves money", in reality the U.S. recycling industry is still in many ways in its infancy. Until recently, the waste collection industry was not interested in developing a strong recycling infrastructure. The majority of landfills are owned by waste hauling companies. And land filling material is a comparatively simple, highly profitable business vs. the many logistical and financial challenges with recycling.
Environmental regulations are necessarily changing the landscape of the waste industry. In the long-term, this is a good thing for all of us. In the short-term, it is a major challenge for businesses. Recycling mandates are outpacing the thin infrastructure of the recycling industry, which can leave customers with unreliable and/or costly recycling service options. The result is resource drain and often expense growth for businesses dealing with an increasingly complex array of waste services.
