Recycling Reality: Humans Set to Trash Most Elements on the Periodic Table - Yahoo! News

Little to no recycling of neodymium, copper and aluminum at 50% - the list goes on and on. Theoretically all metal is 100% recyclable.

It almost makes me want to start a yard that does everything except tin/iron/steel. Of course, I would need to find an outlet for all that stuff that doesn't involve shipping it overseas.

Sad but true. If the regular person and/or company cant make enough money on one piece of material, they going to toss it in that trash can that is sooo much easier than shipping/delivering it to someone. And for the refiners same principle.

It costs the same to make a glass bottle as a Ali can.

That Ali can can be recycled 12 times for the same energy it took to make it in the first place.
