Rodgers Forge Area Recycle Rate Increases In August

From Rob with RFCOP:

 

The Baltimore County Bureau of Solid Waste Management recently posted recycle rates

for August on their website www.bcrecycles.com The Rodgers Forge collection area

posted a gain of just over 2% above their July recycle rate.

The August recycle rate was 23.9%. The July rate was 21.8%. For the year, the Rodgers

Forge area recycle rate average stands at 26.12%. This rate is only 4.13% below the leading

area of Brooklandville-Ruxton. This area has led all other areas for the entire year.

If current trends continue for the year, the County will increase its amount of recyclables

collected by only about 150 tons from 2011. Also, if trends continue, the County will actually

collect almost 3000 tons less trash than 2011. Baltimore County's goal of a countywide 50% recycle

rate is far from being reached. Through August, the County's average recycle rate for the year

is less than 15%.
