Recycling makes *economic* sense. much of the plastic and paper produced in the us is partially from recycled fiber — despite no mandate to do this. Recycling is also cheaper than burying trash in landfills so if you think reducing taxes is a mitzvah then recycling would be a mitzvah. Recycling plastic also reduces US use of oil which means the Arab and Venezuelan anti-Semites get a little less money from us, so that might well make it a mitzvah!
