Then let me enlighten you. If it was really so profitable to recycle, then it would be more widespread. As much as bleeding heart liberals like me would like to see every last thing recycled, there is just not enough of a market for certain materials, hence the reason why only some plastics are accepted. If there was really so much profit in it then there would be several companies vying for your recyclables.
It's a step in the right direction.
