Recycling Rate Jumps to 52%!


(Lamoine) — The recycling report filed by the town this year indicates a 52% recycling rate—a huge jump from previous years. So what went right ? Unfortunately it had nothing to do with the transfer station’s recycling program, but the increase can be directly attributed to a woods cutting operation that sent all of its material to a bio-mass operation. Unless a similar operation reports next year, the recycling rate will likely fall back down to the 26% area.


During 2003, Lamoine sent 732-tons of household waste to the PERC incinerator in Orrington.
