I see the resale value of the recycling as subsidizing the cost of the recycling service. We pay for,(or your taxes do, depends on where you live) trash/recycling because then someone comes on regular intervals to take it. Part of that cost is "paying" them in the recyclables as well. Honestly the reduced complexity of the current system is nicer then having to pay me back like some sort of recyclables consignment scheme.
