May+Data



As can be seen in the above graph, the majority of items found in the garbage bins in May were from the plastic category. Bottle caps, plastic containers and styrofoam cups were especially prevalent. Paper products (especially tissues) were also consistently found in all 5 bins. Lastly, the garbage bins on the May collection day contained many paper and plastic bags that held what seemed to be school lunch items, such as juice boxs and plastic wrappings.



As in the graphs from the two other collection date, this graph shows a large concentration of plastic bottles and plastic bottle caps within the two Recycling Bins that were searched. Although Flat Rock Brook signs on their recycling bins clearly stated what kinds of materials were restricted from the bins, un-recyclable items such as plastic caps, aluminum foil and paper items were once again found.
