Enclosure <br /> <br />DATE: June 3, 2003 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Earl B. Reynolds, Jr., City Manager <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Leon Towarnicki, Director of Public Works <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Recycling <br /> <br />Attached is a summary of the operation of the unmarmed drop off site for recyclables <br />located on Market Street between Cleveland Avenue and Starling Avenue. This <br />summary covers the three month period of February, 2003 through April, 2003. <br /> <br />As noted for the period, 40,762 pounds of material were collected, and the City's net cost <br />was $2,014.05 which includes a credit of $136.20 for the value of aluminum cans. As <br />outlined in a previous memorandum, the City's costs for this operation include a monthly <br />fee for rental of the containers, a haul/transport fee when the containers are emptied, and <br />a processing fee for glass and plastics. Additionally, assuming the City's landfill is filled <br />to capacity by December, 2007, the 40,762 pounds of recycled material represents a <br />saving of landfill air space of approximately 41 cubic yards. <br /> <br />The graph below provides an illustration of pounds of recyclables collected over previous <br />reporting periods. <br /> <br />60000 <br /> <br />50000 <br /> <br />40000 <br /> <br />30000 <br /> <br />20000 <br /> <br />10000 <br /> <br /> 0 <br /> <br />July 01 Nov 01 Feb 02- May 02 Aug 02 Nov 02 Feb 03- <br />-Oct01 -Jan02 Apr 02 -Jul02 -Oct02 -Jan 03 Apr 03 <br /> <br />C:\WlNDOWS\Temporary Interact Files\OLK616I\Recy¢ling Report - June.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
