* Co-mingled is unsorted materials sent to Winnipeg for sorting
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.
