Dip not included
TerraCycle, last seen here vending worm droppings in old plastic beverage bottles, is now making speaker systems out of discarded snack bags.
Yes, really. And what else would you do with that Munchos bag? Pitch it into the landfill? At least there’s a chance that it will do something useful in its second phase of existence.
And really, this brings the company full circle, since very often when I turn on the radio, I hear something that reminds me of worm droppings.

Well, if it makes him a handsome profit, more power to him. Or, to his cones.
But I protest if the system of recycling enslaves the taxpayer who is supporting the darned thing.
A city “green” official here in the Nasty was opining that there’s a market out there for our trash. We’re paying $xx.xx per ton to haul it away, when it’s worth $yy.yy a ton on the market as raw materials.
Which prompts me to ask, then why aren’t these entrepreneurs knocking on my door to buy the stuff from me? What’s that? They want to finagle things so the city picks it up and aggregates it for them? Without that, the whole thing would be uneconomical?
Too many leftist brain farts are uneconomical. In the real world, that means something you don’t do. I say bury the stuff in a landfill. If some bright boy figures out how to ECONOMICALLY use it as a “raw” material, then let him mine it, like his betters did.
Putzes!

Some garbage has value: I haul off old newsprint and such to a nearby school, which subsequently gets a pittance from a buyer, and aluminum has been worth at least something for many years.
The rest of it? Not so much, I suspect.
