It was all a feelgood exercise, and a huge pile of housewivs' prized saucepans was just scrapped. Some things are clearly worth recycling. The fact that companies will willingly pay money for scrap aluminium cans is a pretty good clue that that is worthwhile. I'm not sufficiently familiar with the monetary and environmental economics of plastic recycling to know whether it is actually worthwhile to do door-to-door collection of plastics rather than just sending it all to the landfill. Do you know of a good study? The recycling mania remins me somewhat of the wartime drive to donate saucepans, iron railings and the like in order to build aircraft.
