It can and has been argued that recyclables are not trash but a contract between the disposal company and the homeowner since the cans/bottles are not being thrown away but are part of a business arrangement that generates money.

Even taking the recyclables is alright as long as you don't get caught. No one at the local recycling center is going to say anything if you show up with 50 lbs of cardboard. There is no way to rack it. Not like copper or something. Best bet is get a good cross cut paper shredder and shed everything you throw away.
