GOING SINGLE STREAM USING BINS BLAIR POLLOCK, SOLID WASTE PLANNER FOR CAROLINA RECYCLING ASSOCIATION 4/10/13

THE COMMINGLE JINGLE BY RONALD SMITH JR. (AND THE BEATLES)

WHAT WE PLANNED Orange County wanted to convert to single stream beginning in THE PLAN: Convert from two bins to 95 gallon carts for curbside, Re-label all multifamily & commercial carts for single stream, Convert roll off dumpsters at dropoff sites to single stream, But ……………. Keep separate cardboard and bulky rigid plastics separate for better markets Then: Ship all materials commingled from ‘dropoff pad’ at County landfill to MRF

WHAT WE DID Due to uncertain planning conditions: Stay with bins and go single stream but add no new materials (per contractor’s concern about overflows and political constraints)

WE MAILED EVERY SINGLE FAMILY HOME A POSTCARD

NEW LABELS FOR MULTIFAMILY & COMMERCIAL CARTS (ABOUT 3,000 CARTS) Include #2, 4 and 5 non-bottle plastics in carts (but don’t tell anyone, just change labels)

GAVE OUT CARDS TO APARTMENT MANAGERS TO DISTRIBUTE FOR TENANT EDUCATION

MODIFIED INFO FOR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS, COPIED POSTER SIZE & MAILED IT TO THEM (ABOUT 300) TO USE FOR ON SITE EDUCATION (NOTE SPANISH)

BANNERS AT DROP OFF SITES

SIGNING SINGLE STREAM AT DROP OFF SITES Re-sign dumpsters at drop off sites for single stream but

KEEPING RIGID BULKY #2, 4 & 5 SEPARATE IN “THE PURPLE BINS” Trash can for plastic bags

BUS POSTER FOR ALL PROGRAMS PUT ON ALL CH AREA BUSES (NO COST FOR AD PLACEMENT) Keep cardboard and bulky rigid plastics separate
