 MCMUA
Pays $167,000 to Municipalities for Recyclables
 February
7, 2007,
Morris Township
Nineteen (19) Morris County municipalities are receiving a
combined total of $167,000 for the 19,000 tons of recyclable
materials they sent to the Morris County Municipal Utilities
Authority (MCMUA) Recycling
Consolidation Center in Dover, combined with other materials
marketed through agreements with the MCMUA in 2006.
The amounts each municipality is receiving are listed
below.
"Market conditions in 2006
remained relatively strong resulting in good prices for
commodities. The
MCMUA's price received for commingled bottles and cans increased
significantly. Overall,
this rebate for 2006 increased 42% over the total
rebate for 2005 of $118,000.
We hope to see a continuation of good market conditions
throughout 2007,” said Kathleen Hourihan, district recycling
coordinator.
Because the
Recycling
Consolidation
Center
accepts and bales large volumes of paper, that paper is more
desirable to markets than the smaller volumes of loose paper
collected by individual municipalities.
As a result, the Center enjoys a higher degree of market
stability and pricing, which in turn benefits the municipalities
whose paper is marketed through the Center.
