<p class="MsoNormal">Recycling Coordinators,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Friday. I’m researching how to best expand recycling services to the remaining county facilities that do not yet have recycling. If your jurisdiction has an internal recycling program whereby a private hauler provides recycling
collection services, please forward me your agreement to review. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’d also be interested to hear your feedback on the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Do you primarily rely on County staff to empty desk-side recycling bins or janitorial services?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>What is the cost of your recycling program for municipal facilities? How was the cost of adding recycling services justified?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Do you have a revenue sharing provision whereby you get either a discount on collection costs or a rebate back from the sale of recyclables OR do you allow the private hauler to keep all recycling revenue?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">4.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>What was the driving force that lead to the creation of your recycling program for municipal buildings? (i.e. a formal policy was adopted by your Board, established sustainability goals, etc.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for all feedback and responses. I hope to see many of you at the upcoming SWANA/RFT conference next month.<o:p></o:p></p>
