Ma'am, weren't you just a little harsh here ?  

How much trouble would it be for anyone who knows of a reliable information 
source on C&D recycling, to simply pass it on to this student and to the 
rest of the list?  I also need information about this and would appreciate 
any knowledgeable responses.  There are many estimates floating around, 
with various degrees of credibility, and frankly I am not sure who to 
believe.  I value the expertise of the readers of this list and hope 
someone can respond... if it wouldn't be too much trouble.

Thank you,
