Comments – 2021 was another successful year for our recycling program. It was a bit unusual as 20 tonnes of the extra 26 recycled this year was office paper, most of it shredded.
It is encouraging that we had 4 tonnes more of commingled materials. This weight has been decreasing the past few years as there is less newspaper and packaging has gotten lighter. These factors haven't changed so this indicates more people are recycling. We have been much busier this year with these materials.
Other increases in materials were 606 kg more aluminum cans and 2.3 tonnes of cardboard. Glass was almost a tonne less than last year.
