Attachment A: Singiner Transition ,I Management Plan The City of Lauderdale and Eureka Recycling are executing an Amended and Restated Agreement for residential single -unit dwelling (i.e., SUIS, "curbside") and multi -unit dwelling (MUD) recycling services. This Agreement specifies the scope, schedule and prices for the revised services under the "single- sort&tfeam" collection format in which all recyclables will be commingled together by residents into one category. For all curbside residents and most MUD households, new single- sortcarts will be used. For selected MUD buildings, single- sort_&tfe-aim recycling dumpsters will be used. This Attachment outlines additional operational details for the roll-out and management of the new single- sort4+&a-m containers (including both carts and dumpsters). Details in this Attachment may be modified as needed and as agreed upon by Eureka Recycling and the City's Recycling Coordinator or designee. 1. The City intends to own the recycling containers. The City will apply to the County for a Public Entitie's Innovation Grant (PEIG) to help -fund its new recycling carts and dumpsters. 2. The City will purchase "medium" sized recycling carts (e.g., about 65 -gallons), with a few smaller and larger carts available as detailed below. The Agreement requires weekly curbside sing 1e- sorts -i recyclables collection from single-family units. The choice of 65 -gallon carts collected weekly will provide more recycling cart capacity than "large" (94 -gallon) carts collected every other week. 3. As a policy, the City will issue the "standard" (i.e.-, medium) cart to all residences normally provided curbside recycling service. Residents must use these standard carts (not their own containers) so that Eureka Recycling can collect them with their fully automated recyclables collection trucks. 4. Residents will be instructed by Eureka Recycling and the City that all regular or traditional recyclables (e.g., paper, cans, bottles, etc.) must be placed inside the recycling container. There are notable exceptions to this general rule. The following items may be placed outside of the container: Clothes/textiles which will be placed in a plastic bag with a tag/label that says: "CLOTHES & LINENS" and set outside the container. "Occasional" overflow recyclables can be placed outside of the container in bins or paper bags (e.g., once after a holiday, etc.) as further specified in #6 below. 5. If single-unit dwelling residents with "curbside" service have overflow recyclables three times within two months, Eureka Recycling will notify the resident in writing, copy e City and switch the resident to 'a large (94 -gallon) cart at no additional charge to the
