"RECYCLUTION"
To City Residents
from Gary R. McCarthy, Mayor:
"The
City of Schenectady Waste Collection Department will be introducing a new
recycling initiative called "Recyclution." The intent of this new program
is to increase public awareness on the importance of recycling. Increased
recycling will have a positive effect on our environment, reduce the solid waste
sent to landfill, and provide financial gains for our community. One ton
of recycling removed from the waste stream is a disposal cost savings of $68.42.
If recycling were to increase by 1,000 tons per year, it would be a disposal
cost avoidance of $68,420..."
