(Figure 2). The intent of the drop-off site evaluation was to assign a score to each location based on a set of uniform evaluation criteria within five evaluation categories (Appendix E). Assigning scores to the qualitative observations made at each site provided a quantifiable basis of comparison of the evaluation criteria and categories for the potential organics recycling drop-off site locations. Each site was visited and evaluated by each of the five evaluators. Both criterion within each of the five evaluation categories were assigned a yes or no response based on observations made at the site. In preparation for analysis, the yes/no responses were assigned a binary score of 1 or 0 as was previously described in the methodologies section of this report (Appendix F). A category score of two indicated that the site received the maximum number of points possible and fully met both criterion for the category. On the contrary, a category score of zero indicated that the site received no points and did not meet either of the criterion for the category. A category score of one indicated that one of the two criteria was fully met while the other was not met. Higher category scores increased the suitability of the site, while lower category scores diminished site suitability. No partial points were awarded. All categories were equally weighted. Dale Street Leaf Recycling Center The first location evaluated was the Dale Street Leaf Recycling Center located on the east side of Dale Street and south of County Road C (Figure 2). The site scored highest in the accessibility category, followed closely by parking/traffic, then walkability, and finally security and site characteristics (Figure 3). An overall score was assigned to the site by aggregating the category scores provided by each evaluator. The site aggregate scores ranged from two to seven and the average of the scores was 4.8 points out of a possible 10 points (Figure 4). Review of additional observational notes recorded during site evaluations showed that four of the five evaluators noted potential problems associated with muddy conditions at the site (Appendix F) Average Category Score by Site 2 2 2 2 _' 2 2 I.s i h 1.6 0 11 I b I `u 10.2 0.8 Q 0.� 0.2 n Accessibility Security Parking/Traffic Site Characteristics Walkability Criteria categories ■ Dale Street Leaf Recycling Center a Victoria Ballfields a Dale Street Soccer Fields Figure 3.
