Comments – These numbers are looking very good for the year. A little analysis shows that half of the 36 tonnes that we are ahead for this year is shredded paper as the local mining company is cleaning out offices with the expect closure in June 2022.
Ten of the new tonnes this year are cardboard.
Commingled tonnage had been decreasing every month since July 2018. This is partly due to less paper which is the heaviest material in the mix. The slide ended in November 2020. We are now 4.5 tonnes ahead of last year but still 3 tonnes less than July 2018.
Aluminum is ahead by 400 kg, glass; by 541 and the other category (books, hard plastics) is ahead by 1.5 tonnes.
