<br />As shown in figure 3, on page 3, of the Pilot Study, the collection quantities <br />for our existing Dual Sort system have been basically flat for the last six <br />years despite education attempts to increase collection quantities and the <br />number of dwelling units that recycle. <br /> <br />3) If we would switch to Single Stream, the pilot study indicates we will see <br />an increase in collection quantities for a very insignificant increase in cost of <br />$7.14 per Dwelling Unit per year. If we can educate the public more during <br />the switch over to Single Stream, we may even see an increase in collection <br />quantities above the pilot study. Since this will be a new system there will <br />be an increased awareness in recycling. <br /> <br />Per the pilot study, a resident will increase the amount of recycled material <br />going into a Single Stream container, thus tbe amount of material going into <br />the garbage container is less. Maybe residents can reduce the size oftheir <br />garbage container enough to off set the $7.14 per year increase to Single <br />Stream. <br /> <br />4) Ifwe go with dual sort, where will the revenue sharing go? Into the <br />general fund?? Into the Recycling fund?? Or Back to our residents. <br /> <br />5) By going to a Single Sort vendor who supplies the containers, we will <br />also save $8,000 per year from the recycling budget for containers. <br /> <br />I would appreciate your support to go single sort so we will see less material <br />going to the landfill at a very insignificant increase in cost (a can of pop per <br />month). Environmentally this is a very sound choice. <br />
