WHAT INFORMATION ARE YOU GATHERING DURING THE TAGGING PROCESS?

Information that identifies the most problematic contaminants will be collected in order to help direct future decisions on targeted recycling education efforts. Contamination rates will be measured before, during, and after the campaign to determine if the tagging process is improving recycling knowledge and behavior. No personal information will be gathered during the process or removed from the carts.
