Sold! Recyclable commodities movement at the Transfer Station by Varrick Proper:
"This past week Warner shipped out 43336 lbs of cardboard. Sold at $140.00 per ton the town should realize about $2500.00 after deductions for shipping. This coming week we are scheduled to ship a similar amount of mixed paper sold at $77.50 per ton. Had we just thrown this material away it would have cost us close to $4000.00. The lightening of our tax burden can commence with a weekly recycling habit."
Even if you contract for trash collection, you can separate out these categories and bring them to the Transfer and Recycling Station from time to time to increase Town revenues - and meet your neighbors!
