Properties management has also expressed its commitment to cooperate with the City in all <br /> educational and promotional efforts for this Multi-Family Housing Collection Initiative. <br /> 2.1 Collection <br /> 2.1.1 Proposed Containers: The City of Decatur will purchase 15 large-size, on-site recycling <br /> containers from Fibrex (please refer to Appendix G for sample containers). Each recycling <br /> container is made up of two parts, a fiberglass container with six compartments, and six collection <br /> bins. Each compartment has six rubber flaps to protect the openin�. Other features include ID <br /> decals on the collection bins for the various recyc'.ables collected. The large fiberglass container is <br /> made of 10% recycled clear glass and the bins are made of 100% recycled plastic. The two <br /> reasons for choosing these containers are their design and their price. Design allowed for source �', <br /> separation of recyclables when put out for collection. Collection and processing of <br /> source-separated recyclables is easier and more efficient. The price of each container is �1,550 <br /> which was the most �easonable pnce when compared to other multi-faxnily recycIing containers <br /> that we researched.` The containe:s w-ill be delivered by the manufacturer at a cost oi�85 per <br /> bin. The containers will be de?iverea to the City ot Decatur's l�unicipal Services Center and will <br /> tl:en be set up on the sites by City staff <br /> =.1.2 Proposed Collecnon Process: Each apartment compleY will receive one rec,aciin� <br /> containers, lar�er ones will r�ceive two. Containers will be placed at a central outdoor location, a <br /> `recycling zone,' on the site of� apartment comoleYesicondominiums owned by Swartz <br /> Properties. Recyciing zones wiil be established in areas adjacent to pari{in� lots and separate from <br /> gar�aQe containers. Each rec✓cling zone wiil be marked with recycie zone signs that notify <br /> residents of the droo-off location. Container lids will be secured to the containers. Residents ot <br /> the compleses will place their cieaned and separated recyclables including paper, �ass, plastics, <br /> metals in the containers at the recvcling zone. Each container will be clearIy marked with a <br /> recycle lo�o on the side to distinguish it from gardage containers. Landlords of apartment <br /> comple:ces will be responsible for the supervision of the recvciin� containers and insuring that they <br /> are used properly, not contaminated or used ior garbage disposal.
