The sites at Frank Porter Graham and Glenwood Schools were taken <br />over from EGOS and the five new sites were opened at rural green box sites through- <br />out the County. All the large, consolidated sites except one now have recycling. To- <br />tal monthly collection from these drop -off sites is approximately 100 tons of news- <br />paper, glass and aluminum. <br />In addition to these drop -off sites, which serve primarily residential populations, <br />there is an ongoing commercial corrugated cardboard collection program serving ap- <br />proximately 50 businesses at 30 sites in southern Orange County. The program <br />averages collection of 13 tons per month. <br />Commercial glass recycling collection, which serves over 30 bars and restaurants at <br />25 locations in Carrboro and Chapel Hill, was initiated in February, 1990. Twenty <br />tons per month of glass are collected from this program. <br />The Recycling Program continues to provide public education on solid waste and to <br />support non- profit, volunteer and for - profit recycling activities through referrals, <br />technical assistance, logistical support and publicity. <br />103 <br />u <br />10 <br />I <br />w <br />C <br />t <br />H;' <br />d, <br />
