Compost yard trimmings<\/strong> Only those programs with comprehensive composting of segregated organics have achieved very high levels of materials recovery.<\/p>\n

Target a wide range of materials<\/strong> For a community to recover a high percentage of its total waste, it must target a variety of materials. Targeting only two or three materials (for example, newspapers, bottles, cans) is insufficient to achieve high levels of recovery.<\/p>\n

Require resident participation<\/strong> Communities with mandatory participation ordinances have significantly higher household participation rates than those communities with voluntary programs.<\/p>\n

Institute economic incentives<\/strong> Economic incentives, such as pay-as-you-throw fees, can also contribute to high household participation levels. Under pay-as-you-throw systems, residents pay by volume or weight for the trash they set out at the curb. Such fees are a direct economic incentive to reduce trash and recover as much as possible.<\/p>\n

Design programs for convenience<\/strong> Residents are more likely to participate if set-out requirements are uncomplicated and recyclables collection is frequent. Providing adequate containers for material storage and set-out also improves convenience. Providing both curbside collection and drop-off sites for materials gives residents more recycling options. On-site recycling at multi-family buildings makes recycling convenient to more residents.<\/p>\n
