Statistical Data for Paper Products

It is estimated that the Falcon Waste Recovery Depot saves approximately 300 cubic feet of landfill for each metric tonne of products recycled.

For example:

  • Loose cardboard uses 512 ft³/t
  • Newsprint uses 108 ft³/t

Since 1995 Falcon Waste Recovery Dopot has saved in excess of 2,396,000 ft³ of landfill space. Comparitively speaking, for Wainwright residents this would be like burying 12.5 "Park Hotels" in the landfill.

It is also estimated that this volume represents approximately 35% of eligible recyclables in the Municipality of Wainwright.
