Power
Wouldn't it be cool if you could get superpowers from recycling radioactive material? Well, that's not the case. Please do not try rolling around in it.
Besides, that stuff goes to HazMat facilities. Totally different kind of plant.
The entirety of your power will be over the people who work in your plant. You'll also get first dibs on the interesting stuff that comes through the recycling. But beyond that, this is one of those jobs where your power is derived from keeping everything on track.
You won't feel it so much when the going is good, but history has shown that when the municipal waste workers get upset, it tends to have some adverse effects on society (source).
