In order to reverse public opinion and to duly compensate those who work within the recycling profession, I would like to suggest a solution to the problems associated with the job of collecting and processing recyclable trash. I propose that local governments assess fines on people who do not recycle their trash and use the revenue to pay better salaries to those who work within recycling facilities. In this way, the fines would encourage people to take responsibility for their trash by sorting out the recyclable items and would promote a more positive opinion of people who work within the recycling industry. Furthermore, the revenue gained from the fines would help recycling collectors make more money and associate a monetary reward with the work that they do to safeguard the environment.
People might object to the extra money being paid to recycling collectors, primarily because the common opinion is that collecting trash does not require very much skill. People might also object to the fines penalizing them financially for not recycling their trash. Those who do not recycle might not value the activity and could become upset if they have to pay a fine for not doing something they don’t agree with. Recycling collection does, in fact, require several different skills, and those skills should be rewarded because recycling will benefit the entire community. Maybe recycling collectors do not have the kind of skills that will save a sick patient or repair a broken vehicle, but their skills will preserve the quality of the water that we drink and keep clean the air that we breathe. Their work today will be greatly appreciated in the future.
Besides requiring several different skills, recycling can also be dangerous work, and people who work within the recycling profession should be compensated for the risks that they take. Recycling glass, for instance, requires workers to throw bottles into a grinder that breaks the glass into small pieces that can be processed and reused. This work is dangerous, as small pieces of glass could easily cut exposed skin or be inhaled. Workers must wear face masks, respirators, and thick gloves while they are processing glass for recycling. Workers are also routinely exposed to sharp objects and dangerous machines that compress recyclable material such as cardboard and aluminum cans.
Low wages prevent the recycling profession from retaining skilled workers. This problem adds to the danger of the job because when experienced workers leave to take higher- paying jobs, the inexperienced workers are left to operate dangerous machinery. If local communities were to fine people who do not recycle, the extra money could be paid to those who work in recycling facilities, hopefully encouraging them to remain within the recycling industry instead of seeking out other better-paying jobs.
Even if local communities start levying fines on people who do not recycle, there is no guarantee that everyone will begin to recycle. Some people will choose to pay the fine. Nonetheless, a financial penalty associated with not recycling will either help workers occupationally, because people will take more responsibility for their own recycling, or it will help them financially by contributing to the salaries of the workers who do the job.
