Last year all refuse collected by Shelbyville city services was incinerated  This incineration generated a large quantity of residual ash  In order to reduce the amount of residual ash Shelbyville generates this year to half of last year's total, the city has revamped its collection program
This year city services will separate for recycling enough refuse to reduce the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated to half of last year's number
The refuse incinerated this year will generate no more residual ash per truckload incinerated than did the refuse incinerated last year.
