Email to Molly Blumhoefer from Dan Darnell
Molly, here is what I came up with, but just so you know these are rough estimates because we weren’t actually collecting stats in 2015. Likewise we collected stats during RecycleMania, but have not tracked them since. I have asked that we begin tracking from this point forward in 2016. Here you go….
You have the numbers for 2014, but just to compare. We handled 643 tons of material total, with 441 tons MSW (landfilled) which is 2,416 pounds per day, and 202 tons Recycled, which is 1,107 pounds per day. Based on that here is a quick table
2014 in pounds 2015 in pounds 2016 in pounds (181 days)
Av. Recycle/da 1107 #/da 1650 #/da 2194 #/da
Av. MSW/da 2416 #/da 2453 #/da 2490 #/da
So the 2015 stats you are looking for would be: 301 Tons recycled, and 448 Tons MSW
To be honest, I am not sure what the top two boxes are asking for (materials diverted and disposed of…) Those look like some kind of cumulative numbers, but I’m not sure what they are looking for.
I hope these figures help. Also, we will be more prepared for next year with stats moving forward. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Dan
