has not done before. This means “it is the best we have in the moment”.
This presentation was prepared over the past week with current data at
each revision. Resource links are included for ongoing access to

s period of time. Weights are broken out
based on a composite ratio of the entire load.
Oak Park Heights recycling year-end report 2021 page 3
RECYCLING DATA (SINGLE FAMILY)
The Data was compiled from the single family homes. From this data we are able to illustrate the
weight per home (in lbs.) per month.
In analyzing the single family data, we are able to provide the following observations:
2021 Average lbs. per household per month = 39.50 lbs. per month
2020 Average lbs. per household per month = 42.08 lbs. per month
2019 Average lbs. per household per month = 45.78 lbs. per month
2018 Average lbs. per household per month = 43.86 lbs. per month
2017 Average lbs. per household per month = 42.62 lbs. per month
2016 Average lbs. per household per month = 45.64 lbs. per month
2015 Average lbs. per household per month = 49.85 lbs. per month
2021 Annual Net total tons collected for single family were 261.02

Oak Park Heights recycling year-end report 2021 page 4
RECYCLING COMPOSITE STUDY
Over the years of the contract we have done extensive recycling composite studies. We did this by
keeping all loads from an entire week from the City of Oak Park Heights and process it though our MRF
(Material Recovery Facility). Once the material is unloaded from the trucks it is sorted into each
category, as listed below. Each of the categories were then weighed and documented. The results of
the composite study were then entered back into the monthly reports in which you receive monthly.
As of 2020, we have taken a look at all of the past data that we have collected and have decided to base
our composite break-out off of the facility as a whole. We have come to this decision as all of the cities
that we service, contracted or not, have had very similar ratios of material in their past composite
studies.
Why do a composite study?
Having a good understanding of the recycling composition provides us with data that may assist us in
adjusting the recycling program to fit the needs of the Residents. With ongoing changes in the
economy, cultural and even changes in the home, we can develop more available markets, increase
processing technologies to handle more items and enhance educational materials to instruct residents
on proper recycling procedures.
Oak Park Heights recycling year-end report 2021 page 5
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
Using the detailed recycling data from this report, we are able to provide the City of Oak Park Heights
with some unique ways that the residents recycling efforts have made a difference. Over the years,
recycling markets have been able to recycle more and more items out of the waste stream. They have
also been able to determine what resources are saved by recycling various materials.
In this report we were able to convert the types of recycling materials into resources saved.
Oak Park Heights recycling year-end report 2021 page 6
MARKET REPORT
The 2021 markets have seen their ups and downs this past year. We continue seeing changes with
even though we keep all of our recyclable
materials in the United States, mostly in the Midwest. There is definitely a change in the materials that
are getting recycled, less paper, more cardboard, with schools always on the ready for distance learning,
more offices working from home and a whole lot more home deliveries. The metal markets have slowly
been working their way back to where pricing was back in 2018 but still has a ways to go. The paper
and cardboard markets are getting back to a comfortable place but always room to grow. Plastic
markets hit their rock bottom last year but, with the cost of crude oil is increasing, we are hopeful that
the plastic market will follow suit. Lastly, the glass market, with only one processor in the area, the
commodity has been at a plateau again this year. With our Ni-Hot machine, we installed a few years
back; we can capture more glass than in previous years which helps get more material to the processor.
The processor can reclaim at least 90% of the broken glass to be made into new food and beverage
containers.
The outlook for 2022
Markets are stabilizing but will continue with the strict regulations on contaminates and clean material.
With co-mingle curb side recycling it makes it easier to recycle but it is important to clean out your food
containers, and make sure you are only placing items listed in your recycling brochure loosely into the
recycling cart.

SUMMARY OF YEAR-END RECYCLING REPORT
The 2021 Oak Park Heights Year-end Recycling Report provides up-to-date information from
recycling activities over the past year. Each section of this report details the data that was collected,
entered, and calculated to contribute to meeting our goals.
In the report we have illustrated the composition of recyclables, itemized volumes of recyclables from
single family homes as they relate to each break-out of each separate commodity. We also provide
information on how the City's recycling efforts will impact our environment.
This year, Oak Park Heights average lbs. per month were 39.50 per home per month and total tonnage
was 261.02.
In 2022, we will maintain the comprehensive recycling program we offer with the additional types of
plastics, metals and linens.
Together with the support of The City of Oak Park Heights we will maintain these high standards of
recycling for the residents.
