for recycling to be successful and sel-sustaining which factors are important?

Recycling IS self sustaining and successful less energy is energy used to recycle than manufacturing a new product. It has been proven so that the energy used for recycling is 1/3 of that when manufacturiung something new. Also reducing the amount of natural recources taken from our earth can help make recycling programs reach thier attainable goal of inevitably reducing emmissions and improving the state of the environment.

Make sure the electric and gas are not connected.  Someone had a good idea about recycling; doors, windows, trim. etc.

Here are some references which will help you locate recyclers which *might* pay for equipment.  In the event you can't find someone who will pay, you can point the owners of the computers to this info so that they can find the best way to get them to people who can use them(e.g. to schools, libraries, churches, seniors, artists etc)...one persons trash is another persons treasure.\n\nGood luck.\n\nhttp://www.summthings.net/ag/cddc00ag.html

One of the great things about science is that it is helping to reduce waste.  I've given two examples because I wasn't sure if you were talking about waste we need to dispose of or the efficiency of the process.\n\nAs our understanding of systems increase, we are able to find new ways of handling materials both in manufacturing and disposal.  An example of this is electronic waste.  For many years we have relied on Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) to power our TV's and Monitors.  The invention of flatscreen technology has helped to reduce the size of the item needed to power the same size viewing screen.  In addition, flatscreen monitors tend to use less energy and while they still contain toxic materials, they are easier to recycle in electronics recycling programs.  So from that standpoint, there is a direct correlation between waste and science.\n\nAnother example is the increase in efficiency of solar panels.  Technology is allowing manufacturers to produce more efficient panels.  From that standpoint there is less waste in the process of producing energy.  The higher the efficiency of the panel, the more sunlight we are able to convert into energy, and the smaller the area needed to produce a significant amount of energy to run a house, business, etc.\n\nHope this helps.

it can be created but cannot be destroyed can only be recycled

Try the checking out the EPA website to see what materials requires material safety data sheet or MSDS and special handling.  You can look up MSDS by product and part number.  The original maufactuer is a good place as well they can assist in by telling you what they deem worth recycling and they are a source of MSDS information as well.

This is really impossible to say, being both a science and political question.\n\nReactors need to be close enough to the energy grid and populations that the energy lost in transmission is minimal.  On the other hand, far from populations to limit the ramifications of a meltdown.\n\nTransporting waste is risky itself.  So easy safe access to storage sites is important.  On the other hand, risk of contaminated water and people stumbling on it would have it far away.  Not to mention the possible ecological side-effects to local fauna.\n\nThere's no best answer in a real world, just some less awful ones.

Mercury, last I looked (which was quite a while ago), was worth on the order of ten dollars a pound, so it definitely has value for recycling.  But the recycling process is costly because it requires careful handling, so the profit potential is not large.  Any site that accepts fluorescent tubes for recycling can tell you more.

define sustainable....our society has been sustained for 200+ years on freedoms, enterprise and hard work.  if by sustainable you mean nature friendly that is a pipe dream created so that people will feel guilty for acheivement, be willing to modify behavior to suit the needs of a small minority that believe the world is controlable...these people need a good earth quake to make them understand that man is a very small effect on nature when she get's pissed off there is not alot we can do or have done to effect her.

The key success factor is: Sell products that people actually want. \n\nBuying from garage sales and selling on eBay is fun, and good getting a few dollars here and there from ebay. Sometimes, you luck out on an item and hit big, but many times it will just be so-so (assuming you can even get the price you paid for it). In terms of fun factor, it is great. But from a business stand-point, it is not sustainable.\n\nIf you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. Selling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.\n\nOne success model of ebay is the couple Jay and Marie Senese (username jayandmarie) of the 1-cent CD fame. They have the highest positive feedback number of all sellers on eBay. Their business model is to buy very low cost CDs in bulk (those that CD stores sell in their discount bins) and offer them on ebay at a starting price of 1 cent http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_23/b3886080.htm Their success is based on the fact that they stumbled on a sustainable business model with products that people really want. They sold their business -- where else but on ebay -- for $5 million! Now that is success.\n\neBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace: \n\nItems In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html  \n\nHot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left. \n\neBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action. \n\nMerchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html  to view the current Merchandising Calendar.\n\nAs for items to sell, you can:\n\n1. Buy bulk liquidation items such as those at Liquidation.com. The capitalization may be big, but the idea is to sell the items individually and profit from it.\n\n2. Find manufacturers of items you want to sell and buy discounted items from them\n\n3. Make deals with retailers in your area, and offer to buy their unwanted items for deep discounts. jayandmarie - the most successful ebay sellers - made deals with music stores where they will buy the entire inventory in the discounted bins, and then sold the items on ebay for 1-cent starting bid.\n\n4. Look for possible partners on the Web, preferably outside of the US. Import items from them and sell them on ebay. There's huge profits to gain from this approach.

"Think globally, act locally"  Do your part in your daily life by recycling, buying products with less packaging where possible, support local companies that have proactive recycling campaigns, use organic cleaning products and spread the word to your friends about the importance of everyone doing their part to reduce environmental pollution.
