I propose to take Questions Nos. 103 and 104 together.
The following table outlines the amount of waste in weight and the percentage of waste that was recycled in 2005, 2006 and to date in 2007:
Year | Waste Generated (kilos) | Recycled (kilos) | % Recycled |
2005 | 185,440 | 147,220 | 79% |
2006 | 208,740 | 170,520 | 82% |
2007 (to date) | 173,610 | 139,020 | 80% |
