(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.
