Gentlemen:
Your Committee to whom was refer
red the matter of investigating the
possibilities of sorting the rubbish col
lected throughout the city, begs to re
port as follows:
The City of Highland Park began
giving this matter serious cOnSidera
lion about year ago and in July, 1911
placed in operation plant of this
kind Their primary purpose was to
reduce the volume of rubbish rather
than aS a source of revenue, as Secur-
ing adequate dumping ground was be
coming Il real problem in city as
compact aS theirs. The plant is rather
ingenious and consists Of Il pit INTO
which the rubbish tOther than ashes
i dumped from the truck. from
whence il is conveyed into Il building
and drops onto Il cOnveyOr belt about
- feet long running parallel with the
floor about : feet from il. Men are
stationed at intervals along this belt
and each man picks out Il certain item
IF refuse. such as cans. glass, rags.
etc BY the time the end of the belt Is
reached there is nothing of value re-
manning and the balance il conveyed
into an incineratOr. Cans. rags ami
PAPER are baled at the point they are
taken of the conveyOr and glass and
metal are barrelled and put into piles
An educational program was carried
ont to get the citizens To separate ASH
- from other refuse and separate
truck picks up ashes only and takes
them 10 the dump.
lKeSIItS of the experiment have been
very satisfactory. The total volume OF
material which ultimately reaches the
dump has been reduced 50 per cent
Ind the sale of salvaged material Is
producing IA net profit of approximate
ly S9OO.O0 per month. Total revenue
for the first three months of 1912 has
been as follows:
January $1532O0 February $l399.
~. March $1JO3O0.
Typical of the various sources OF
this revenue is the month Of January,
which is as follows:
