A report from the mayor’s office in Bayonne, N.J., says a nearly 10,000-ton increase in concrete recycling helped boost the town’s overall recycling rates by 66 percent from 2003 to 2004, according to a report in the Jersey Journal (Jersey City, N.J.).
The city, along with private companies within the municipality, reports collecting more than 55,883 tons of recyclable material in 2004, up from 33,675 tons the year before, according to numbers provided by Bill Bull, Bayonne’s recycling coordinator.
Bull tells the Jersey Journal that the increase in concrete recycling comes from private firms that “just had a better year,” he says.
