Careful Salvage Cuts
Dumping Of Paper,
xanten Reports

William A., Xanten. city refuse
superintendent, Yesterday declared
rigid inspection of usable waste pa
per has reduced daily truckloads to
the incinerator from as high as
400 to about 200.
Only unsalvageable waste paper
is permitted to be dumped, other
wise the truck is turned back. he
declared. Cooperation Of Federal
agencies has been very good" he
said.
Horace Walker, executive secre-
tary of the District Salvage Com
mittee, concurred with Mr.. Xanten
on the effectiveness of the local sal
wage program, pointing out that re-
cent surveys have shown the Dis
trict is missing only 3 to S per cent
of its salvageable paper.
Federal agencies. Mr.. Walker
stated, contributed 1900 tons of
waste paper in the past five months.
He said these agencies, after slow
start, decided they must do the
same things the Government Is re-
questing individual citizens to do.
Explaining the principal factors
in paper salvage, Mr.. Walker said
65 per cent Of normal refuse Is
paper. If this paper becomes con-
taminated in any way with other
refuse its value depreciates 40 per
cent. and often 1t is unacceptable.
He pointed out that much un-
salvageable paper must be disposed
of by Federal agencies, especially
from their lunchrooms. He listed
as not worthy of salvage such
things as napkins, paper towels,
paper plates and cups. waxed paper,
are impregnated with chemicals,
reproduction paper and glazed
paper.
