Pilot Study Information  Participation  Money ($$$)

Participation in the Bluegrass Optional  31 Bluegrass Cities Curbside 23% No Universal Curbside Curbside 45% 32%

Participation in the Bluegrass  17 Bluegrass Cities with Curbside Extra Fee 18% No Fee 82%

Pilot Participation  PARTICIPATION - By the Ton - By the Household

Pilot Participation (Ton) 160.3 tons recycled  0.14 1,145 tons total waste 14%

Pilot Participation (Ton) 12.0 Tons Recycled by the Month 10.0 8.0 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 Jun-11 Sep-11 Dec-11 Apr-12 Jul-12 Oct-12 Jan-13 May-13

Pilot Participation (Household) 120 High 96 (1) 100 Number of Set Outs in 80 96 Weeks 60 40 Low Zero (73) 20 0 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 Individual Households

Pilot Participation (Household)  Key Pilot Information Findings  87% of the pilot area participated at least once  72% of the pilot area (393 customers) participated at levels above the national average of 34%

Pilot Money ($$$)  Operating Costs per Ton Trash Recycling Pickup $61 $61  Same total tons  Same equipment  Same procedure  Same manpower  Same efficiency (?)

Pilot Money ($$$)

Pilot Money ($$$)

Pilot Money ($$$)  Operating Costs (per ton) Trash Recycling Disposal $18.80 $80.00 We pay them They pay us

Pilot Money ($$$)  Operating Costs (per ton) $18.80 +$80.00 $98.80 Net benefit per ton

Pilot Money ($$$)  One year at 14% 11,760 x 0.14 x $98.80 = $162,664

Implementation Costs  Curbits 6,847 x $54.50 = $373,161.50  Education $2,000 annually (approximate) * At 14% participation payback on curbits and education could be achieved in 3-4 years.

Long Term Benefit $3,500,000 34% Recycle Rate $3,000,000 $2,500,000 $2,000,000 $1,500,000 14% Recycle Rate $1,000,000 $500,000 $0 -$500,000 0 5 10 15 20 25

Conclusion  The data shows that recycling will save money  No change in rates or service  Tuesday/Friday collection – March 7, 2014 (Phase I)  Monday/Thursday collection – October 2, 2014 (Phase II)
