Under each level
of service, the residents determine the number of containers that will
be used for organics (yard material, grass, leaves, etc.) collection.
For example, if a resident chooses the Reduced Service level (three containers
in addition to a recyclables container), the resident determines how many
of those three containers will be used exclusively for organics. Typically
a household will use at least one container for organics. Residents supply
their own trash containers, but service providers furnish green colored
organics containers based on the number requested by the customer. Both
the organics and trash are collected once per week from a customers
backyard.
All customers receive
curbside recycling collection every other week. Residents are provided
with either a 35-gallon, a 64-gallon, or a 95-gallon wheeled
container, based on the customers needs. Customers are no longer
required to separate the recyclables, since the materials can be commingled
in a single recycling container.
