摘要

As evidenced by stagnating national recycling rates, few residential curbside recycling programs are increasing their capture or recovery of targeted recyclables from the residential waste stream. Collection vehicle and processing facility capacities are increasingly underutilized, which results in unnecessarily high recycling costs per ton since the high fixed costs of collecting and processing recyclables are spread over too few tons. This puts the long-term sustain-ability of municipal recycling programs at risk as tax revenues decrease and other community service demands increase. The economic sustainability of any residential recycling program can be improved by collecting more materials per household (or stop). This is especially true in today's market environment, as the market value of the additional materials recovered should exceed the incremental cost of the additional labor and vehicle time to collect it. An increase in the quantity of recyclables in the bin or rollout cart typically causes little or no increase in the time required to empty either tvpe of container.
