* 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 "Generated 'Tons" and "% of Waste Stream Recycled" numbers for specific materials listed , though not for the "Totals" at the bottom of the table. The waste composition study will be revised for future years to account for this anomaly.
** Note: For the materials White Goods & Sheet Iron, Junked Autos, Heavy Iron and Asphalt, Concrete & Masonry, it is assumed that nearly the entire waste stream is recycled.
