| Recycling programs are cost-competitive with trash
collection and disposal via landfills and incinerators,
and provide net pollution prevention benefits. Recycling materials not only avoids the pollution that
would be generated through landfills and incineration,
but also reduces the environmental burden of virgin
materials extraction and manufacturing processes. Recycling creates many more jobs for rural and urban
communities than landfill and incineration disposal
options. |
