Cardboard has value at$30 per ton and would continue to be collected separately to offset costs <br /> associated to recycling. <br /> Glass would be tipped at the Dennis Transfer Station and processed for reuse as road base or similar <br /> purposes. There will be a tip fee for processing. Cans would be tipped in Westport at a recycling facility. <br /> The payment the Town would receive is $100 per ton and would offset costs associated to recycling. <br /> Newspaper will also be tipped at a recycling facility in Westport or Mansfield. Separation is <br /> recommended as mixed paper will generate a tip fee. The current amount paid for newspaper is $55 per <br /> ton. Mixed paper would require a tip fee. The current recycling fee is $50 per ton. Plastic#1-7 will be <br /> tipped at a recycling facility in Mansfield. The current fee is $40 per ton. Rigid plastic would continue to <br /> be collected separately. <br /> The implementation plan is proposed in four months to allow for modifications to the recycling area, for <br /> permitting if necessary, and to educate the staff and the users of the facility. <br />
