ATTACHMENT B DENR CONTRACT NO.5833 installing RFID tags at initial purchase also allows communities to avoid the difficulty of upgrading carts in the field at a later date. The use of RFID technology provides a powerful data collection tool and can be the basis of a management system for analyzing the efficiency and effectiveness of recycling collection efforts. RFID technology enables program managers to easily determine participation and set out rates for a collection system. Data gathered through the use of RFID technology can be used to increase collection system productivity,enhance customer service,manage cart inventories and implement highly effective educational campaigns. Many RFID data management systems also offer additional analysis and service support tools,and may be linked with truck-based systems for weighing recyclables at the point of collection and/or for communicating with and providing information to collectors. For more information on the use of RFID technology in recycling and waste collection services contact Joseph Fitzpatrick at 919-707-8121 or ioseph.fitzpatrick @—ncdenr.gov.
