They add value to the economy. Value of aluminum to a recycler: less than $0.50 per pound (less the cost of collection etc.). Value to a gleaner: more than $1.00 per pound. So when a gleaner takes a can out of your recycling bin it doubles in value. If it comes from the trash $0.10 is added to GDP instantly.
