garbage and recycling day to be the same day of the week in these areas. Explore every <br />other week garbage collection. <br />Curbside collection of electronics is a real need. Lots of them sit in alleys. And, I would <br />like to see zoned hauling in the City. I like my small hauler and value the customer <br />service and the fact that they are a locally owned and operated business so I don't want to <br />see that disappear. Any zoned hauling would have to include specific preferences for <br />small haulers. While organics collection would be great for my family, I know lots of <br />folks who won't switch from using their backyard compost pile. I completely understand <br />that curbside organics can capture more than what goes into the compost, but those folks <br />of which I speak want to continue to harvest compost and have not indicated interest in a <br />3rd, 4th, or 5t container in the kitchen. Alley collection of recyclables is preferred by our <br />family even though that is not offered. We would be very disappointed if garbage <br />collection moved to the street. <br />• Larger recycle bins. <br />• Begin to recycle all types of plastic, begin to recycle food scraps, begin penalizing people <br />who don't recycle, offer plastic bag recycling in more places than the grocery store — <br />maybe curbside? <br />• One bin recycling (right now we separate into two bins) <br />• Recycling could be one container, machine dumped for efficiency, and sorted at some <br />central location by automated and trained staff; I have heard other municipalities have <br />done that and reduce labor and equipment costs, but would require providing a uniform <br />container for people to use (large up front capital investment) and an auto dump truck. <br />• Mandate recycling. <br />• Expand items to be recycled (i.e. TVs, electronics curbside, or vouchers like <br />Minneapolis). Bloomington has a day each year that junk can be put on the curb — this <br />would be great! <br />• Collection of refrigerated paper boxes. <br />• Electronics recycle pickup at home. <br />• Curbside composting will be great. More plastics collection. <br />X:\MS\IE\2008\08M081\10000 reports\Final Appendices\Appendix E -Participant Comments -Municipal, In-depth and Billing.doc <br />10 <br />
