Comprehensive Review of S olid W aste Collection and Disposal Options v2.1 16 10/22/12 2.2.2 Current Collections Route Description 2.2.2.1 Residential Collections – MSW and Yard Waste SCS reviewed a map provided by the Town, entitled “Sanitation Collection Routes” and dated March 2012. Residential MSW and yard waste collections are both performed along seven (7) designated routes each day to service the Town population. As described above, MSW collection is completed weekly on Mondays and Tuesdays, and yard waste collection is completed along the same routes on Thursdays and Fridays. Each of the seven (7) routes is serviced by a single collection vehicle and crew. According to Town collections staff, the current routing configuration and the equipment and resources assigned to each, typically allow most of the seven (7) crews to collect from the entire assigned route and transport to the Orange County Landfill without making multiple trips. The Town tracks the associated labor effort for each residential route throughout the year. The current routes average between 5 and 6 man-hours to complete (see Exhibit 2-6 below). Exhibit 2 -6. Collection Times With the exception of a few small pockets split between routes, the seven (7) collection routes appear to be relatively evenly distributed geographically across the Town service area and divided by major transportation infrastructure as described in Exhibit 2-7. The size of the Route appears to be apportioned to the relative density of the population served.
