I don't know where you heard that but it's utter hogwash. We've been
recycling here where I live for decades, and believe me we wouldn't if it
were truly more cost effective to dump it into a landfill. In fact, there
are certain types of plastic that are in high demand for recycling because
they make synthetic wallboard from it. Also, landfill space is a shrinking
commodity - especially near large urban centers.
