Not mentioned in the
WNJ article on Wilmington recycling was the the plan to allow non
city residents and commercial entities to also dispose of clean,
flat, corrugated cardboard at the drop off point near the landfill
office.
Remember, you are
not just saving finite resources, adding useful life the current
landfill cell but also helping to keep solid waste fees at the
current reasonable levels.
It
is estimated that the effect on the environment of recycling one ton
of cardboard saves about nine cubic yards of landfill space, 700
gallons of water and forty six gallons of oil.
