In New York, Making Ends Meet on a 5-Cent Recycling Deposit
I think this is important. I also don&#x27;t think having 5 cent recycling deposits make sense anymore where recycling is mandatory in nyc, there&#x27;s no reason for a financial incentive. There&#x27;s got to be a better way to create demand for labor for the people resorting to this, also to just provide services to them with tax money, as opposed to this industry that&#x27;s created around taking already sorted recyclables and re-appropriating them. The whole thing seems really inhumane and it&#x27;s funded by the existence of the deposit tax.
