I can see corrugated recycling being profitable as long as it is clean material and I’m sure most of it isn’t good, clean corrugated. I saw all of stuff being dropped of at the city recycling centers and I’m sure the stuff at the county recycling places was the same. I worked in the packaging industry and the paper mills or plastic manufacturers were very careful of what was permitted to into their plants as recycled material. Just imagine the production problems if you were a film manufacturer and a piece of contaminant got stuck in your extruder. You’re shut down for hours to get the operation going again. I agree something needs to be done to try to reuse packaging materials. But just to say you have a recycling system to satisfy the environmentalists, probably isn’t correct.
