The Scenario: The local newspaper, the Clark Chronicle, has requested information about Special Saturday recycling for use in an article about local environmental concerns. You, as the administrator of the recycling program for the county, are very interested in increasing participation in the program. Therefore, you want as much information as possible to get to the residents of Clark County who are eligible for the program.
After three "Special Saturdays," one in March, July, and November, you enlisted the help of a local phone survey corporation to survey a random sample of the citizens in the county regarding the recently implemented program. The results are given below, along with other pertinent facts about the special recycling program:
There are approximately 8,000 Clark County households eligible to participate.
At the last "Special Saturday", 632 cars pulled in with various materials for the collection, and the final totals for each material were:
230 gallons of used motor oil
10 tons of junk mail
2 tons of magazines
Your calculated savings in landfill costs were $10 per ton, or $120.
Labor costs for the day were $120.
