somebody figures out how to give it a second life-and until economic arrangements exist to
give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for
recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.<br>
Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning
rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas,
the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste |management

parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates
the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of
industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.<br>
