The totals are in!
Thanks to the generosity of Samsung Electronics in sponsoring these events, the towns of the South Shore Recycling Cooperative et al recycled 117.85 tons of e-waste in a 6 hour time span on Saturday December 17th. The breakdown by event is as follows:
Abington: 43.32 tons
Hanover: 34.09 tons
Plymouth: 40.44 tons
Thanks to everyone who helped make this a very successful event in removing these materials from the solid waste stream and recycling them.
How much stuff is in 117 tons? it's larger than the cargo capacity of a 747 cargo plane, more than a typical blue whale, and more than the mass of a dinosaur!
Happy New Year!
