These 196 facilities reported collecting 1,182,224 tons of materials between April I, 1991 and March 31, 1992. Actual statewide volumes of recycled materials are potentially larger considering 59% of the recycling facilities did not respond to the survey. While the lEPA survey does not provide a complete picture of recycling activities in Dlinois, the results can be used to demonstrate the composition of materials collected for recycling. In 1992, paper comprised the largest portion of recycled materials with of the reported volume. Metals comprised of the reported volume. Figure displays the relative composition of recycled materials for 1992. The percentage of metals recycled has decreased since 1989, while the volumes of paper and "other" materials increased. The "other" category is comprised of while goods, baueries, plastic, tires and other items. White goods comprise the largest portion of that category with of reported tons (figure ). The source of these recycled materials is difficult to 155.
