Keeping Citizens in the Dark

George has been lobbying for months to stop the charade. He thinks we should come clean to the citizens and admit that we stopped baling and selling recycled plastics a long time ago. (Nowadays, we just take it into Boston under cover of darkness and dump it into the harbor with the other landfill and Hazmat.

Believe me, it's a lot cheaper than negotiating with recycling companies - trying to keep accounts straight. And, it's much easier than trucking the crap up to New Hampshire to dump in the wilderness, like we used to.

"It's a sham" George declared disapprovingly. "You have poor old widows in some tiny apartment trying to separate containers, even washing them out. The kitchen is filled with recycling bags. And what do we do? We just moosh all the garbage together. It's a sham."

"Hoarders." declared Bill. "They keep all kinds of worthless shit in their apartments. It's an obsesssive compulsive disorder! I saw it on TV"

"It's anti-dump." I chimed-in.

"What are you two dumpfucks talking about?" George said.

"Well, you seem to think that the little old ladies are They think they're doing something good for their grandkids."

"Hey, we still recycle cardboard and radioactive waste...." I offered. "Besides, it makes the citizens feel good to separate their trash. "

The way I look at it, recycling is a lot like going to church. It may be a waste of time, but it's a good idea. Here at the dump, we are in the idea business.
