[USCC] green waste-food waste co-collection

[Brian Mathews]

Dan,

We have information you are looking for.  Our participation across
300,000 single households is 35% on a weekly basis.  A couple of
jurisdictions have participation in the area of 67% weekly.  The
quantity of food diverted ranges between 10-14 lbs/week.  Call me if you
have questions.

Subject: [USCC] green waste-food waste co-collection

I'm interested in finding numbers for household participation rates for
residential curbside co-collection of green waste and food waste (e.g.,
% of total households participating, frequency of participation, % of
food waste diverted per household, etc). Specific experiences and study
references are both welcomed.
