RecycleBank scores major success
When Montgomery introduced the RecycleBank Pilot Program, one major goal was to reduce the tonnage of solid waste going into the landfill while increasing the amount of items recycled. Residents have met the goal as indicated by the chart showing a three year comparison of the same time periods.
In fact, Montgomery residents have increased the amount of items they recycle by about 72 percent compared to the same period in 2006-2007! During that same period, residents reduced the amount of trash going into the landfill by about 25 percent.
