Mr. Richardson indicated in the United States, the disposal <br />of waste is a $384 billion dollar expense. This is a costly endeavor, and areas to dispose of waste are <br />becoming limited. Mr. Richardson stated in Mashpee Transfer Station sticker sales have decreased by <br />10%, and the disposal of solid waste has increased by 5%. There is little recycling. Residents dispose <br />of more trash than recycling.
