Our community is exploring the possibility to
expanding our plastics recovery from #1 #2 bottles ONLY to include other tubs
and cups and other types of plastics.
Currently we recycling about 22 tons a year in just
bottles alone and I am curious to know if other communities have gone through
such an expansion and if so, what where some of the lessons learned.
Specifically how much of an increase in tonnage did people experience; what
were some of the routing or equipment changes needed; what were the impacts on
curbside collection; what sort of outreach message was the most effective, etc)
TIA for your help on this.
