The graph depicts waste recycling rates in the U.S.  1960 to 2011, in both percentage and tons.

Between 1960 and 1970, the percentage of garbage being recycled annually remained relatively  at just over 6%. It then  slightly over the next 15 years to 10.1% in 1985.

On the other hand, the amount of garbage being recycled  during the same period, from 5.6 million tons in 1960 to 16.7 million tons in 1985. Following this  increase, the amount of waste material being recycled has risen  between 1985 and 2011 when it  at 86.9 million tons.

Similarly, the recycling rate continued to grow  from 1985 to 1995, and then at a slower rate over the next 15 years until it  a peak of 34.7% in 2011. However, this figure is still disappointing  to the total amount of waste being recycled each year.
