The SERP program is recycling at a rate of 70.58 tons of office paper per month. It is saving the state over $2,109.00 monthly in landfill costs plus the cost of extra dumpsters and compactors. From January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2007 state employees recycled 15,245.5 tons of mixed office paper. This produced revenue of $132,621.88 for the state, while avoiding $455,572.00 in landfill costs. These revenues are deposited in the Solid Waste Management Fund.
