City launches personalized outreach program to help residents understand changes in curbside recycling
Recently there have been some changes in the marketplace for recyclables that are affecting what Waste Management can accept in the curbside recycling program. In addition, some of the things incorrectly placed in curbside carts can even shut down operations at the recycling facility. To help reduce high contamination rates reported in curbside recycling in Melbourne and throughout the county, the City of Melbourne ECO Division has begun a program called “Curb Contamination.”
The Curb Contamination program provides more personalized guidance to Melbourne residents to help them understand the changes and what is and is no longer accepted in curbside pickup. Recycling carts are checked for contamination on Wednesday mornings, which is recycling day throughout Melbourne. Informational door hangers are placed at homes where recycling mishaps are found to try to combat recycling confusion. This also provides the opportunity for conversations as people notice the inspections.
