Good day, dear P2assist friends,
One of our NC colleagues is researching the impact of changing =
recycling schedules. Here is a copy of part of the message for you to =
ponder and respond to if you have any information that would be helpful:
The City Manager has asked us (& the budget office) to provide a report =
on switching to weekly recycling collection. We'll work with our budget =
office and come up the $ impact. What I need is some data on other =
communities who have made the change from biweekly or 2/month to weekly =
- or - visa versa. ie. why did they change, did msw collection change at =
the same time, did they see an increase in participation, tonnage, what =
they did to inform the public, what public education efforts cost, =
overall cost/savings to make the change?????
Our City Manager seems to think the trend is to do the reverse. He =
claims most cities are changing from weekly to biweekly. Do you know if =
this is true? If so, why?
We look forward to hearing from you, particularly those in North =
Carolina who can answer from an NC perspective.
Thanks.
Kindest regards,
