As retaliatory tariffs mount, recyclers worry what goes around, comes around

Some metal recycling companies stand to benefit from Trump’s steel and aluminum duties, but they fear any boost could be blunted by foreign countermeasures.

Andrew Lincoln often visits schools to teach kids to reduce waste in their daily lives.

“It’s not anything new,” said Lincoln, who owns Lincoln Recycling in Erie, Pennsylvania. “We talk about the three Rs” — reduce, reuse, recycle.

But these days, telling the full story would require Lincoln to add a few more Rs, like “retaliatory tariffs” and “reliance on foreign imports.”

I don’t really like it when commodity prices are increasing greatly.
