Recycling figures

Carterton and Masterton recycling materials are processed at Nursery Road.

Each truck delivering recyclables from the kerbside and Carterton drop off points is weighed, as are the trucks taking the materials away for recycling.  From these weights we can get a good picture of how the districts are recycling.

The following charts and tables show how you are doing.

Recycling by Area - 1st July 2005 to 30th June 2006

Recycling Per Month - 1st July 2005 to 30th June 2006

Material Recycled - 1st July 2005 to 30th June 2006
