Thank you to the people of Burke for their support of the recycling center. If anyone needs help with collecting items for projects please feel free to ask. We also continue to collect packing peanuts, used oil, batteries, cell phones, and florescent bulbs.

In 2008, we shipped 29.92 tons of Old Corrugated Cardboard, 16.75 tons mixed paper, 36.57 tons of newspapers and magazines, 16.61 tons of glass, 5.25 tons of tin and aluminum, 1.63 tons deposit-able bottles and cans, 1.12 tons #2 colored plastic, 1.20 tons #2 clear plastic, 1.31 tons of #1 pete, for a total of 220,710 pounds or 110.36 tons of recyclables. This saved the town $8,419.36 in tipping fees if we had have taken it to the landfill. Plus it brought in $6,149.10 in income.
