I it easier for the residents and for the employees at the station.
Our current system started August lst 2007 and we are recycling 4-5 tons
per week. For every ton of material we recycle, there is a savings of $40 per
ton. We should be able to increase our recycling to 6-8 tons per week giving us
a savings of $240 $320 per week or a total of $15,000 for the year.
