早在我们日益增长的垃圾水平成为环境问题之前，回收利用就已经成为许多美国人日常生活的一部分，原因多种多样。从用厨房用品交换废金属的农村小贩，到收集破布换煤的城市儿童，数百年来，个人一直在寻找重复使用废弃材料的方法。在《用现金换垃圾》一书中，卡尔·A·齐姆林讲述了从殖民时代到现在的废品回收历史。整合了档案、工业和人口统计记录的研究结果，并超越了塑造现代回收企业的环境发展，Zimring提供了一幅使大规模回收成为可能的私营企业的独特文化和经济肖像。
Long before our growing levels of waste became an environmental concern, recycling was a part of everyday life for many Americans, and for a variety of reasons. From rural peddlers who traded kitchen goods for scrap metal to urban children who gathered rags in exchange for coal, individuals have been finding ways to reuse discarded materials for hundreds of years. In "Cash for Your Trash", Carl A. Zimring provides a fascinating history of scrap recycling, from colonial times to the present. Integrating findings from archival, industrial, and demographic records, and moving beyond the environmental developments that have shaped modern recycling enterprises, Zimring offers a unique cultural and economic portrait of the private businesses that made large-scale recycling possible.
