[GreenYes] Re: Mixed Paper Studys??

["Eric Lombardi" <eric@no.address>]

Hi Martin,

 

Here is how our mixed curbside residential paper looks here in Boulder
County, Colorado.  Sorry, but we've never done a sort on the "junk mail"
category.  I'd be curious if these numbers are much different than other
numbers you may harvest from your GreenYes question?   Please let us all
know your results,

 

Grazie,

Eric

Subject: [GreenYes] Mixed Paper Studys??

 

Does anyone have studies related to the specific breakdown of recyclable
paper from residentia lsources?

 

We are particularly interested in what proportion is from catalogues, and
any work that has been done in classifying mixed paper and "junk mail"
types.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best,
