[greenyes] Advice is necessary on scheeme "all dry recyclables in one container"

["Igor Babanin" <babanin@no.address>]

Colleagues!



We in Saint Petersburg (Russia) carry out experiment on selective collection
of waste.

Now we collect only "dry" recyclables in 3 containers:

It is economically very unprofitable: it is necessary to drive 3 times for
each type of recyclables, to hold 3 containers, etc. Except that, people
refuse to hold 4 different garbage cans in the house (helo, VeronicaJ). It
is reasonable to collect all " dry recyclables " in one container, and then
to sort it at MRF, but our experts on PR are afraid that people  will not
understand it and will use the container as a ordinary garbage box.



I ask to respond people, who witty in the scheem, when all " dry
recyclables " collects in one conteiner (separatly from other residuals).
Especially I am interested with questions:

-         whether it is possible to explain to people, what for it is done,
and whether there is a problem, when they put in these containers MIXED
WASTE?

-         What are you doing with glass? In fact if to collect it  together
with other " dry recyclables ", the part of it will inevitably be broken,
and it then cannot be sorted off on MRF. It is considered as < inevitable
losses >?

-         If you have samples of the advertising and information materials
concerning such scheeme, would You be so kind to scan and send them to me?



A lot of thanks for the support
