Please attach additional pages if needed. Our processed chipping of brush has reduced the amount of waste into our landfills by forty -two percent (42 %) in 1995. We processed 27,000 yards of unprocessed brush thru our chipping machine to reduce it to 2,700 yards of processed wood chips which are put on a city -owned seven (7) acre site in southwest Paris. None of this processed wood chips go into our landfill. All 25,000 citizens have this service available to them. In 1995, we processed the unprocessed brush at 2,200 residences affecting 5,500 citizens. The project began in 1991, with two (2) employees spending eight (8) hours a week each on this program. In 1995, two (2) employees averaged twenty -four (24) hours per week each processing brush. Our program has grown threefold in four (4) years. We have worn out our chipper machine and are requesting a new brushchipper machine in this grant application. We continue to inform our citizens thru mailouts of our residential collection policy and encourage the "Don't Bag It' program. 6 s
