<br />Scenario C: Weekly collection with the current two-sort system <br /> <br />Recycling Containers <br /> <br />One 18-gallon bin <br /> <br />Participants in this area continued to use <br />the current two-sort system with their <br />current bins, but instead of the material <br />being picked up every other week, it was <br />collected weekly. This method tested the <br />increased frequency of collection as well <br />as the ease of remembering when to put <br />material atthe curb for collection. <br /> <br />Weekly <br /> <br />Collection Schedule <br /> <br />Weekly <br /> <br />Number of Households <br /> <br />345 <br /> <br />Participation Rate 88% <br /> <br />Wh~nasked in the pre-survey what would <br />ll1.()tivatethem to recycle more their top <br />choice was\veekly collection at 36.2%. <br /> <br />I <br />Avg.

Rental properties tend to have lower <br />participation rates in part because of the transient nature of these residents (for more on this see the section <br />Observations on Lower Participating Areas). Only a third of the homes in this area were diligent participants <br />putting material out on most collection days. While more than 20% of these residents were non-recyclers <br />and the rest were infrequent recyclers. These patterns did not change during the testing period. <br /> <br />Participants increased the amount of recycling put out for collection per person. The mean pounds per <br />household collected went from 23.53 in the "before" period to 28.79 in the "during" period. <br /> <br />Sixty-two percent of the residents in this area preferred weekly collection.
