More Clean Up Info

Attendance at our clean up increased by 25% over last year and by 60% over two years ago. Total tonnage collected increased by 10%, but there was an increase in what went to the landfill and a decrease by 1% of what was diverted to reuse and recycling outlets. So the upshot is that only 48% of what was brought in was prevented from being trashed.


The mattresses and carpeting that were recycled this year amounted to 3% of the total collected.


We had an increase in the amount of lawnmowers and small motors that were recycled. And we also had a large number of fluorescent bulbs that got recycled.


As I mentioned before, we met our maximum of 40 seniors who were served by our pick up crew, and, unfortunately, had to turn away others who would have like to participate.


Thanks to everyone who volunteered, brought things in, and supports us with this important D1 event!
