Programs using carts, common suite of materials, strong outreach and other BMPs can recover 400-450 lbs/hh/yr. Residents can more easily fit all of their recyclables into one container, then simply roll those items to the curb.

INCREASED RECOVERY MORE CONVENIENCE

Rolling easier than carrying to curb Lid keeps materials contained Holds more recyclables All in one container; no need to sort at home

Key Considerations:

  • Efficiency
  • Compactor or Loose
  • Separated or Co-mingled
  • Fit your current fleet:
  • Already have hook trucks? – Buy Roll-offs
  • Already have FELs? – Buy Front End Load Containers
  • Only have pick-ups? – Stick to the trailers
  • Surface?
  • Concrete Pad
  • Pavement
  • Gravel

LOWELL and W. SPRINGFIELD Total contamination dropped from 37 to 26 percent (by weight).

  • Each of the four pilot routes behaved slightly different.
  • Single family routes seemed to have less contamination

and better recovery rates than the multi-family routes. Contamination Recyclables
