Firstly, while it's true that it's cheaper to incinerate or land-fill some products than it is to recycle them, that's not the case for all products.
Also, while it's often debated, some studies have shown that recycling has a positive effect on the environment. While you're right that there is an environmental impact created by the recycling process, you also have to remember to factor in that if you're recycling you don't have to go out and obtain more raw materials and process these.
I don't think that's completely true MissX.
