On waste paper alone, the schools of Bohemia and Moravia currently collect 800,000 to 900,000 kg per month. This information does not include the results of the extraordinary waste paper collection.

The yield of the bone collection ranges from 450,000 to 750,000 kg per month, while for the entire half-year of 1942 it was only 10.000 kg.
