Curbside Recycling

  How much do you pay?
  
  I'm doing an assignment in a Chemistry class and we have to tell how much curbside recycling costs from Rumpke Recycling. I tried going through the Rumpke website but they want all of my information and want me to actually sign up for it. I just need to know how much it costs monthly. So... anyone recycle with Rumpke???

  I don't recycle. I think its only of those things that makes people feel good about what they are doing, but in reality damages the environment even more than not recycling.

  Rumpke charges me $11 per month

  It's free for me. In Louisiana. With another company.

  Shouldn't they be paying you to recycle? They are a business that benefits from that raw material.
  
  I will be curious what the costs are as you have asked I am truly surprised that people pay to recycle.

  Sleeper, thank you for your irrelevant post. I obviously don't recycle either, or I would know.
  
  wkfan - Thank you!

  I'm really just turning a boring thread that would normally have 1 post into a discussion about the merits of recycling. Blame the OP for not expanding the topic, not me for making it a topic.

  If I wanted an expanded topic I would have made it that way. As far as I'm concerned, one post from wkfan telling me how much it costs monthly is all I needed.

  Then you should be thanking me for the free bump. Sheesh.

  It may be in my monthly trash/sewage/water bill in the community I live in.
  
  I can check when we get our next bill, if you want.

  I throw everything together in the trash, if the company wants to recycle the stuff they can sort it out on their time.

  Thanks Osh,
  
  I just used what wkfan told me. It was just one question on this assignment but I didn't feel like going through all of the BS of having to talk to a representative of Rumpke and all that. I appreciate it though.

  A friend of mine used to work at Waste Management and told me that you should never pay to recycle. You are only doing the company a favor by doing it. They are still going to go through all of your trash and pull out the recyclables.
