Last year saw a five per cent jump in recycling compared to the year before, in the City of Dauphin, but December numbers were down slightly.
Mayor Eric Irwin says he thinks Dauphin's citizens are good recyclers, and it will just take some time for numbers to really reflect that.
"We're in early stages. Just give us 'til the summer and we'll see how it all happens."
The City of Dauphin has been trying to push recycling, and this year introduced a rule that says if your recycling isn't out on collection day, your garbage won't be picked up.
