| * Waste stream composition analysis performed in 1990. Subsequent changes to the waste stream (primarily as a result of increases in reported recycling tonnages) have not been taken into account, which have affected the "Total Tons of Solid Waste Generated" and "Percentage of Solid Waste Material Recycled" numbers for specific materials listed, though not for the "Totals" at the bottom of the table. | ||||
| ** other municipal includes anti-freeze, motor oil, household batteries, misc materials, process residue and textiles. | ||||
| *** bulky/C&D includes stumps & petro-soil | ||||
| **** For the materials and Asphalt, Concrete & Masonry, it is assumed that nearly the entire waste stream generated is recycled. | ||||
