Donald Trump Saves
$$$
Donald Trump
saves $550,000. per year on what was his
waste disposal costs at the Taj Mahal resort
in Atlantic City, N.J.
Because he set up source separation, i.e.
recycling – he sells the food scraps to hog
farmers and gets haulers to take the paper,
metals, and glass.
In the future
when markets are stronger, when we stop
subsidizing landfills and incinerators these
same haulers will pay us to pick up our
recyclables – like they do in India.
If Trump can do
this [save $ and the environment at the same
time] we can do it with all our large
government institutions – congress, schools,
jails, courts, all public buildings, etc.
As communities
we can return our recyclable items to the
grocery store parking lots and put them into
large containers ready to trucked or trained
away. This is how Europeans do it – because
it is cost effective – door to door pick up
is not cost effective because there is too
much cost of labor and trucking involved.
A national
bottle bill would save tens of millions of
dollars annually in emergency room visits
because of accidentally cut/injured feet of
children and adults, also the paws of
family’s pets. A national bottle bill would
help hugely with litter. It also provides $
for motivated children, teenagers, thrifty
adults and homeless people.
Thanks for considering these facts - now
let's get making this happen!
