The goal of the pilot was to provide collection in one park using the same collections method and frequency requested in the City's RFP and monitor for several factors including: • Volume (how much material was showing up in the carts each week?) • Contamination (non -recyclable things in the recycling) • Tons collected • Park Visitor Feedback • Parks Staff Feedback The following is the breakdown of the information that was gathered during the pilot. This report ends with recommendation for how we can proceed with a citywide roll-out of recycling collection in all pa rks. Volume of Recycling in Carts: One of the important metrics we measured is volume. Volume helps you determine how often the carts need to be tipped in order to avoid overfull carts. The following chart breaks down the fill levels of carts and lists how many carts of this level of fullness were reported each month. In the second portion of the chart it lists the percentage off all carts reported had this particular fill level for that month.

This shows that volumes are not that high. Rarely was there a cart that was reported as overflowing. There is a correlation between fullness of cart and cart location type which we will discussed a bit later in this report.
