Comments – This month was a bit of a shocker. The last two years, May has been our biggest month with 43 MT in 2014 and 47.8 MT in 2015. 39 MT this month is our biggest month yet, but so much less than last year that we are actually behind in total tonnage for the end of May! I think my dream of 500 MT in 2016 just died.
The amount of co-mingled materials which is mostly from households was the same as last year. The drop was 3 MT in corrugated cardboard, 3 MT in office paper and 1.5 MT in newspaper. The cardboard and office paper would indicate that it has been a slower month for businesses and institutions which is what I have been hearing from other sources.
