The Today Show reports on the New York is going recycling programs. New York contracts out their Garbage at a very high cost but when the city starts recycling program it will benefit more plus make money from these materials that have other wise been dumped into landfills that costs the taxpayers millions to do. Recycling garbage will amount to a large savings and gaining monies for these discarded items.
In my local city our mayor claimed it wasn't worth it recyle for our city. He stated that it costs to much for the program and doesn't financial help the city taxpayers.
Who is right in this recycling programs? 
Just keep filling these landfills at a high cost to the taxpayers or reycling and make a profit from these items that other wise would be deposited into contracted landfills. This is an easy answer recycling benefits everyone . It also employs local citizen's who need a job.
