Hi Jumbles,
The old saying, "Where there's muck, there's brass" is still very true. It seems that there is more money to be made by recycling abroad than actually doing it ourselves. It's simpler too -- out of sight, out of mind, and no headaches about planning permission for recycling plants, high labour and transport costs etc.
As we all know, it's a complicated business, but more needs to be done. We're 50 years behind countries like Holland and Switzerland in terms of waste management.
