Multi material recycling – 460.5 metric tons (tonnes)
Cardboard – 49%
Co mingled materials – 25%
Glass – 8%
Newspaper – 6%
Office paper – 9%
Other – 3%
47 tonnes more than last year which is an 11% increase.
Third highest total in our 23 year history.
32 metric tons of ewaste – an increase of 4 tonnes from 2014.
450 kg of batteries.
2015 was a very successful year. The percentages of materials remain about the same which indicates (contrary to previous comments) that both residential and business recycling is increasing.
This year there were 5 months with more than 40 tonnes. May was the highest at 47.8 tonnes. May was the highest month last year with 43 tonnes, the only month over 40 tonnes in 2014.
We are hoping (planning) to break the 500 tonne mark in 2016.
