Single- stream versus dual stream recycling management: Do the benefits justify the mean... <br />an eight -point swing and Martin with five, use different sized bins, 64 gallon and zB <br />gallon, respectively. A larger sample size taken over at least five more years may be <br />necessary in order to quantify a correlation between increased recycling rates and bin <br />sizes. <br />To determine if single- stream recycling significantly reduced the amount of material <br />going to the landfill, comparisons between counties that converted to single stream were <br />made by looking at the recycling and contamination trends before and after the counties <br />converted to single stream. <br />Although a decrease in the amount of material going to the landfill should be positive, the <br />landfill rate trend for eight single - stream counties indicates that the only county that <br />managed to significantly reduce its landfill percentage was Martin County; Brevard, <br />Broward, Charlotte, Collier, Escambia and Miami -Dade counties all saw reductions in <br />their landfill percentage by at least two percentage points but still remain basically flat, <br />while Okaloosa County managed to gain two percentage points. A closer look at the trend <br />from 1996 to 2009 shows that six out of the eight counties are landfilling more material in <br />zooq than they did in 1996. <br />Quick and Dirty? n <br />a z 3 Next <br />SHARE Tweet Recommend Ii <br />http:// waste360 .com/recycling- facilities -mrfs /single- stream - versus -dual- stream - recycling -m... <br />
