The following table makes no sense - the "years" heading has no years below it, and the "total" heading...Why would we want "totals" of both intaken stuff and outgoing stuff? That would mean things get counted twice...I don't understand... Pete

I think Pete's referring to in part the Overall Rates of Reuse and Recycling section, where the total doesn't make sense. A total of Gizmos

Reused and Gizmos Recycled would make sense, but including Received in that does not. Of course the numbers are a bit suspicious: 

               Reused  Recycled   Total  Received
 Systems        7,029    25,582  32,611    17,069
 Monitors       6,998    19,625  26,623     8,408
 Printers       3,342    11,471  14,813     8,045
Here the total is of the first two columns. It looks like we're disposing of 2-3 times as much stuff as we actually get. Something's wrong there.
