Comments – May is the month people bring all the recyclables they have collected over the winter. This is reflected in the commingled tonnage which is 3,600 kg more than last month.
We are ahead of last year by 28 tonnes. At this rate we will set a new record for tonnes per year in 2018. The current record is 500 tonnes set in 2007 when our community was larger and we offered basically free curbside pickup.
