Results of Pilot PrOl!ram This section describes the results of the study, using a variety of data. Set Out and Participation Rates Set out rates and participation rates measure the portion of residents who actually put out recyclables for collection. . Set out rate is defined as the number of households that have material out on any given collection day. . Participation rate is defined as the number of households that have material out during a given period of collection days. For this study, participation rate is defined as the number of households that had material out on at least one collection day during the "Before" period, <lnd on at least two collection days during the "During" period.

"Before" period. set out rates in the "Before" period were in the Single-Stream Contrast area at 82% and the area at 75%. The other areas ranged from about 63% to 69%. . "During" period. The set out rates in the "During" period were again in the Single-Stream Contrast area at 90% followed by Single-Stream at 84%, with the others ranging from about 72% to 78%. . Change. The largest changes in set out rates were in the Single-Stream and Two Bin areas, where the set out rates each increased by about 15%. The Single-Stream Contrast set out rate increased by 8%, but was already high in the first place. The set out rate for the Control area did not change, as would be expected. . The Weekly area in the "During" period was the only pilot area not collected every other week. As a consequence, set outs for the Weekly area declined to 57% on any given collection day, a rate similar 17
