Comments about ‘And unto dust it shall return’

Sorry, I don't understand Woolley's argument that they're a quasi-governmental agency and "it wouldn't be right to sell the stuff as a profit-making venture".

Who would you be competing with? Those that produce it aren't trying to profit from it; they're dumping it on you to deal with. Maybe you should try to sell it. If you're making a profit, maybe the producers of it would see that it's worth selling for themselves and stop bringing it to the landfill. In the long run it would stop costing you to bury it, and you might make enough to cover part of your costs for a while.

And how would that be a bad thing?
