The Numbers Are In...
The 2010 garbage and recycling tonnage totals have been calculated. With nearly 550 tons recycled, Bayside residents increased their recycling diversion rate by nearly 7% from 2009. In addition to increase recycling, overall garbage tons were down from 2009 as well. What does 550 tons mean? In 2010, each household recycled 660 pounds or each resident recycled 260 pounds. |

2011 Recycling Goal: 650 Tons
In 2011, the Village is seeking to recycle 650 tons. You may be asking, what does that mean to me? In order to reach our 650 ton goal, each household needs to recycle 800 pounds of material, which equal to 312 pounds per person.
In addition to helping preserve our environment, recycling saves taxpayers money. On average, it costs the Village $48 per ton to dispose of garbage at the landfill. If we recycle 650 tons in 2011, the Village will save an estimated $5,000 in tipping fees from 2010. Each week, the Village will track our progress towards 650 tons.
The Village is committed to achieving this goal, but we need your help. You may be throwing away items that can be recycled. For more information on residential recycling, visit the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website.
