I was part of an acedemic research group last spring here in Edmonton. It was actually pretty tough to get anyway interesting at the 'world-leader' composter. I did get a personal tour of the materials recovery facility, but it was geared towards gradeschool children. In the end, there was too much red tape and runaround to obtain a real energy and money cost figure for our exceptional recyling/waste management. While it is required simply for real estate and boom economy demands, it is most likely more (short term) expensive than less-friendly alternatives.
Summary /paranoia recyling is a cash grab!
