B. Waste Diversion Data: <br />Table A 1-15 lists the recycling activity in the <br />unincorporated area and the amount of recyclable material <br />collected from unincorporated County residents and <br />businesses in 1990. Because of the proprietary nature of <br />the recycling information, data was not presented by <br />individual locations. <br />The State -certified redemption centers accept <br />redemption glass, aluminum, and plastic beverage <br />containers. Some certified centers also collect recyclable <br />materials not included in the redemption program, including <br />glass food and beverage containers, scrap aluminum and <br />other metal scrap, PET, HDPE, and other plastic resins, <br />paper, and various other materials. <br />Some scrap metal and corrugated paper was separated <br />from the waste stream at the County's Lovelace Transfer <br />Station in 1990. At the Harney Lane Landfill, wood and <br />scrap metal were separated in a pilot program. The County <br />experimented with a pilot leaf -composting program at a <br />County park beginning in 1989 to avoid landfilling that <br />material. The three military installations in the <br />unincorporated County have recycling programs. Materials <br />recycled in the unincorporated area by these and other <br />sources are included in Table A 1-15. <br />Appendix 1 28 <br />
