To Michelle Raymond,
Regarding the question of state disposal rates and Minnesota's
projections, North Carolina has experienced a rise of .21 disposed tons
per capita in the last 8 measured fiscal years, for an average annual
increase of 2.6%. This rise has occurred in the same period that our
recycling rate has basically doubled. Our raw disposed tons have
increased from 6.8 million tons/year to 9.2 million tons/year, an
increase of 35% in eight years, or an average increase of 4.4 percent.
