15. “Most” Common Ground Ultimate goal = county ordinance for “urbanized” areas w/ subsequent review for adoption by Towns Application to all residential users with tiered/phased approach  First - SFUs w/ individual carts (PAYT $$ & recycling for all)  Eventually - SFUs w/ shared containers & MFUs (exemptions for space & existing contracts?)  Annual quantity trash & recycling data reporting required for all 32 gal base size for trash – at least weekly trash collection available 96-gal recycling service included in cost – at least twice monthly recyclables collection available County to specify list of recyclables to be collected (single-stream) 15

16. Ground, con’t Trash/recycling containers to be determined by haulers with clearly identifiable recycling containers Annual quantity trash & recycling data reporting requirements County will provide public educational information at program onset & on an on-going basis Trash pricing (not fully discussed)  Will include recycling included in cost (not “free”)  May include flat fee up to the price of a 32-gal container  Subsequent 32-gal cart service(s) priced at 100% of the first container’s price 16
