1 Pr Preliminary eliminary Resear Research ch Findings Findings

  • Cascadia Consulting survey findings/recommendations:
  • Best public space SS recycling programs had:
  • Color and signage continuity in public spaces + at home
  • Containers grouped together
  • Clear signage and messaging
  • EZ to participate/Convenient container locations
  • Recycling options are adjacent to all disposal options
  • Receptacles in public spaces should echo SBWMA’s Cart Smart Program
  • Maximize Recology’s existing infrastructure/expertise

SBWMA’s Cart Smart Program

Indoor ndoor Opti Options

  • ns
  • Should closely resemble SBWMA’s Cart Smart program
  • Maintain consistency with color and signage
  • Civic centers, libraries, police stations, community centers, conference

rooms, public building lobbies, etc.

  • Goal: Establish continuity throughout service area public spaces city

cans modeled after SBWMA’s Cart Smart program

  • Maximize bulk buying efficiencies w/bulk orders
  • Target: Include Recyclable and Organic options at all sites
  • How: Conduct a pilot project by adding a compost bin to a location with

existing recycling and trash bins Boulder, Colorado San Francisco Menlo Park

  • Goal: Protect the MRF end product from contamination
  • How: recycling bins specifically targeting high value recyclable containers
  • Smaller opening = less contamination

Pilots Pilots fo for Options/ tions/conside nsideration ions

  • Pilot active corridor and parks to ensure cost effective +

hi‐diversion/hi‐quality yields

  • Waste audits to determine amount of organic materials

in waste stream before adding compost bins. Current Public spaces composting:

  • Stanford campus
  • Boulder, CO
  • San Francisco
  • New York City
  • Work closely w/Recology to determine best receptacles

to sync w/their operations and to maximize diversion

Ne Next St Steps eps

  • On‐board new Pub Spaces team
  • Establish two Pub Space team zones

to establish MA needs

  • Perform two pilots: Active Corridor/Park
  • Perform waste audits

(focus on recyclables and organics)

  • Research containers/costs
  • Inventory MA Public Space locations
  • Report Findings
  • Determine Rollout next steps
