The Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation has announced that 37 cities and towns are divvying a total of $2.3 million-plus through its revenue-sharing program.

Six of the communities are getting checks for more than $100,000, the corporation announced yesterday.

A community's share is based on its recycled tonnage trucked to the recycling plant in Johnston during fiscal 2008. Recycling rates are the percentage of a community's waste processed at the materials recycling facility compared to the amount of a community's waste sent to the Central Landfill for burial.

North Kingstown: $101,121
