Indicator 2: Increase the amount of materials recycled by 5% over the next four years Although
Behrend’s paper consumption seems high, about 59.74 tons of
paper and cardboard was recycled in 1996-97 (the last year for which
figures are available). It cost slightly more (about $.25 per cubic
yard) to recycle this material then to send it to a landfill. Behrend
also recycled about 110 tons of material in 2001, however it is
not known what percentage is plastic, glass, etc. We will, however,
begin to change our procedures to collect that information.
