Comments – The negative numbers comparing to last year continue. 20 tonnes is cardboard which reflects the fact that the demand for cardboard in the market place has slowed so much there is a negative value for it now, and we may not be able to ship it in the near future.
The tonnage for this time of year in 2019 and 2020 are very similar to this year, so 2021 seems to be an usually high year.

Comments – Lower tonnage compared to last year continues. I am not sure why this is happening. It may be that Covid made last year exceptional, or that the changes in our community with the closure of the mine is affecting how much is out there to recycle. It is what it is. 

Having said that, I also know there is a lot more recyclable materials that are going to landfill. We have some work to do in convincing these people and businesses to recycle.
