I'm not trying to convince people that I'm right, I'm trying to find someone who can convince me otherwise. I mean it is recycling and everyone thinks it's so great, surely there must be facts supporting why such a beneficial process is better than using landfills.

You make a good point, especially with regard to cost. Although Ive always thought that if something can be reused then it should be ahead of throwing it away and making something from fresh materials.
It helps that its so easy to recycle here and it doesnt take up any time to sort it.
