With regard to “resources saved”
one would hope that these savings are based on tonnage actually recycled NOT on
tonnage collected. There’s a big difference. It would seem that single
stream advocates focus on how much is “collected” and not how much
is recycled.

saved calculator for single-stream recycling
Do the NERC and WARM models have
this? I can’t remember. The folks to contact, otherwise, are Recycle
Bank.
Go to their website first: www.recyclebank.com

Hi all,
I'm looking for a resources saved calculator based
on single-stream
recycling loads. Our community is converting to
single-stream in a few
weeks and we'd like to continue to offer our
larger recyclers an
environmental benefits breakdown--trees saved,
gallons of gas, pounds
of air pollution, etc. Does anyone have any experience
with converting
single-stream to dual stream for current resources
saved calculators
or are there any calculators specific to
single-stream? All advice,
links or anecdotes are welcome.
Thanks! Kate
