Yes it is. It actually can be very expensive to recycle. It takes a lot of waste collected to pay for all of the expenses at a recycling center. Recycling isn't necessarily done so as to make money, or a profit. Though it can be monetarily profitable. It's done to cut down on landfill strain And to make what would sometimes be thrown away usable again.
