** How to increase recycling and reduce wasting - Recycling will
increase and wasting will decrease by eliminating policies and subsidies
favoring garbage collection, landfilling and incineration. Local

franchises to waste haulers must be ended and clear public policies
supporting fees for recycling and composting services must be allowed.
