    That makes absolutely no sense. A recycling company would rather trash recyclable material than recycle it.

    It's impossible to be in the recycle/junk business without seeing something that's a ''shame'' every single day. I can expect that whatever I don't remove from a site (including a building) will be burned on the spot and bulldozed into a hole or just left to rot. It might only be a lightbulb, some wiring, a half quart of oil, a funnel, fusestats, a handfull of staples or nails or a toolbox.
