The most common reason residents received a tag in 2014 were: <br />1. Repeatedly having excess recycling placed next to cart while having a small or medium <br />sized cart. The tag recommended that the resident call the hotline to request a larger, or <br />even a second cart. <br />2. Cardboard not been broken down to a size that will fit in the cart. To collect extra <br />cardboard the driver tips the cart and then puts the extra cardboard into the cart and tips it <br />again. Cardboard too big for the cart is difficult for the driver to collect. <br />3. Placing cart too far from the curb or backwards with the handle facing the street. This <br />makes it hard for the material to fall in the truck and causes litter. <br />We work with our drivers to ensure they take every opportunity to provide additional education <br />to residents. The value of this approach is that begins a conversation with residents and eliminates <br />confusion.
