Description This project allows for the purchase of two fully automated packer trucks for curbside collections to support a third organics collection route. With the distribution of recycling carts to most households and organics carts to a growing number of households, a fully automated truck can now be efficiently utilized on any route and would allow for flexibility of staff and equipment. Justification With recent changes and promotion of the organics collection program, tonnages collected at the curb have more than doubled over the past three years (142 tons/month in 2017 to 315 tons/month in 2020 not including the derecho). An additional fully automated packer truck would allow for the addition of an organics route; currently there are 4 daily trash routes, 5 daily recycling routes and 2 daily organics routes. One staff person could run any collection route faster and more efficiently than the current semi-automated recycling and organics trucks. Total Project Cost: $550,000 Status Active
