I am against compulsory recycling.  Partly because it involves force, partly because I suspect it is a waste of time - it’s related to my thoughts on profit but I haven’t yet got round to joining the dots and partly because the results don’t seem to be awfully good.  Here’s an example:

Criminals manufacture bottles for Germany:

As reported recently by the German press, criminals are manipulating the German bottle deposit system on a massive scale in order to make money. They are manufacturing bottles, falsifying the product codes and then returning the self-made bottles to supermarkets throughout Germany.

There are also periodic claims that when councils get keen on recycling, refuse collection gets a lot worse.

Nothing yet but you never know...
