Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The weight of materials composted is unusually high relative to most years. Most of the material was a direct result of Hurricane Ike. In an ordinary year, our composted landscaping waste is probably about 120 tons per year. Due to the hurricane, we had nearly 10 times that amount.
