True.

Recycling programs in the United States have now become a major component in today's waste management, unfortunately, recycling programs are not cost effective and are also considered to be one of most expensive ways of ridding waste. According to author Harvey Black of the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal, in San Jose, California "it costs $28 per ton to landfill waste compared with $147 a ton to recycle" (Black 1006).
