Kroeger reported that <br />curbside recyling has been the cornerstone of the program. Other impact has come from <br />the Goodwill rer* cle date, which is upcoming on May 6, the annual hazardous waste <br />collection, the school education program, brochures, phone answering service, and the <br />waste reduction luncheon. The philosophy of the program is not to add any products <br />unless there is a promise to recycle. <br />Kroeger reported on the six year history of the program; the four year abatement history, <br />which is the percentage of estimated total curbside waste recycled; the four year <br />participation history, where Orono remained level for several years and is now showing <br />an increase; and the 1994 participation in curbside recycling, which showed Orono at <br />60+%. <br />The goals for the next five years are for each city to reach an abatement percentage of <br />25%, participation of 70%, establish volunteer networks, and reduce the program's <br />budget by 15%.
