I only invest in companies that have recycle stations, hauling companies and thier own landfills. No matter how bad it gets the trash always has to be hauled sorted and diposed of.
    I work for a trash company ( hands on it ) heck it never ends . The attitude with people is always the same - They wait for the mail man -Is the letter here yet ?
    not yet OK maybe tomorrow . If I mis a house ...... Forget it they are on the phone to dispatch . He just passed me !!! or Did he come yet ? Trash needs to be gone.
    Trash is lucrative first it is handled different state to state but here the trash is rotated at holding facilities representing mass of land . Section's have a tarp with a membrane & piping , methane is collected , after about 5 years a section is spent out then removed . It's a never ending source of fuel . The old trash i am told is taken down south not sure what comes of it . The recycling is sorted from paper , plastic, Glass , aluminum & steel cans and bailed into BIG square bundles weighed and sold
    Some plastic is not recyclable & is shred to be used as a petroleum based fuel.
    So now that you got me thinking , worth looking into ,
    any Ticker's you care to share ?
