Pyatt: Unfortunate realities leave us with inefficient waste system that soon may not work at all | GUEST COMMENTARY
It is unfortunate that the economic bottom for recycling material continues to drop, forcing much of it to be eventually disposed with regular trash. It is unfortunate a landfill costs so much to develop and operate. It is unfortunate that neighboring states have finally run out of space and/or the will to accept out-of-state trash. It is unfortunate that waste-to-energy facilities are so costly to build and operate and have widespread political opposition.
