* Co-mingled is unsorted materials sent to Winnipeg for sorting
Comments – We are on track to beat our annual high of 500 tonnes. Last year's total was 463 tonnes. We are two short of 500 if you add the 35 we are ahead to 463. So if we only recycle the same as last year from here on, (plus 2 tonnes) we will make it. I predict a new high this year.
There are serious challenges in the market. Our cost of having the commingled materials sorted in Winnipeg is increasing from $45/tonne to $110/tonne August 1.
