research reports

Since 1994, the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) has performed a series of national surveys to measure the extent and track the growth of access to community-level paper and paperboard recycling. In recent iterations, the survey has also addressed the prevalence of single stream collection in curbside recycling systems. This Executive Summary presents background information on the survey methodology and highlights notable findings of the 2010 AF&PA Community Survey (“2010 Survey"), as well as trends from prior years. Complete details can be found in the main body of this report.
