In 2022, commercial recycling represented 85% of all county recycling at 41,625 tons; residential recycling represented 15% of total recycling at 7,157 tons. Proactive efforts by the county, local businesses and local waste haulers were effective by capturing recyclable materials and keeping them out of the landfill.
