I've worked in industry for decades and if production was at a standstill the expediters would be beating the bushes to get the parts ASP. There must be dozens of belt suppliers on this side of the country. Three months? Were the belts beyond repair? What are the line workers doing? Are they laid off? Agree on parking the recycle trucks. What a waste by any metric. I have a full recycle can that I am holding until I know that recycling has started again. Has this recycle stream ever broken even financially? Would love to see the numbers. Guy Incredible!

The purpose of recycling isn’t to lower your rates, it’s to help keep the landfills from filling up with plastic and glass.

It stays by the road, longing to be picked up and emptied like it's green colored cousins. But nope, it still sits by the road, reliving it's rejection each week as the trash guys drive on past, but the recycling can knows they see him, for they lock eyes, awkwardly, while the green ones are emptied.

You'd save a bunch of money if you park the damn trucks and let the drivers hang out in the break room.

That is why everything is subsidized by governmental agencies via tax payers. Until China and India implement environmental laws and regulations we are just wasting our time.
