For the quarter ended January 31, 2011, we reported revenues of $111.6 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 1.5%, from $109.9 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2010. Solid waste revenues decreased 0.2%, with decreases in collection volumes accounting for 1.3%, and further resulting from 0.3% price decline in power generation, 0.1% from commodity price decrease, 1.9% related to a divestiture in the Eastern region, and 1.4% from the closure of a landfill. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of 3.6% in disposal, power generation, processing and recycling volumes, 0.5% of the increase resulting from positive collection and disposal prices, 0.1% from fuel surcharges, 0.3% from higher commodity volumes, along with a 0.3% increase from an acquisition in the Eastern region. As a percentage of total Recycling revenues, revenues increased 19.9%, with 27.9% resulting from higher commodity prices offset by a 8.0% decline in volumes during the quarter.
Operating income for the three months ended January 31, 2011 was $6.3 million compared to $7.4 million in the prior year comparable period and decreased year over year as a percentage of revenue to 5.6% from 6.7%. Eastern region operating income decreased $1.9 million compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to lower power revenue at Maine Energy associated with lower market rates for power. Central region operating income decreased by $0.7 million compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased labor, fuel, maintenance, and hauling costs that more than offset increased revenues. Recycling operating income increased by $1.0 million compared to the prior year comparable period due primarily to increased commodity pricing.
to 8.8% from 7.3%. Eastern region operating income increased $1.7 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to decreased amortization related to a volume shift within the region. Central region operating income decreased by $2.0 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased labor, fuel, maintenance, and hauling costs. Western region operating income increased $4.9 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher disposal revenues associated with higher volume.
