Orange County <br />Waste Composition Study <br />Section 3: Results <br />23 <br />Orange County/Report/Final Report <br />3.6 Composition by Jurisdiction <br />Table 3-9 depicts the annual composition of MSW generated by each jurisdiction. <br />Key findings from this table include: <br /> All three municipalities showed relatively similar compositions, when considering the <br />confidence interval of each material. <br /> MSW generated in the unincorporated County had slightly higher composition of certain <br />program recyclables: Mixed Paper, All Plastic Bottles, and Tin/Steel Containers. This may <br />indicate higher degree of recycling in the municipalities. <br /> UNC, being a university had a different MSW composition than the rest of the County in a <br />number of areas: <br />o Newspaper was lower. <br />o All Plastic Bottles was slightly higher. <br />o Low Grade Paper was fairly high. In fact, Low-Grade Paper and Food Waste (both <br />potentially compostable) were nearly half of UNC’s MSW stream. <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 00C54720-9DC0-4A3D-ABED-77E0FD28E0CD
