The collection centers require an attendant to open and close the <br />center at the beginning and end of every day. Exhibit 18 shows that for each site, on average <br />customer attendance steadily increases each hour in the morning until 1100 and then jumps up <br />around lunch time. Counts steadily fall for the rest of the day starting around 1300 for Eubanks <br />and Ferguson, 1400 for Bradshaw, and 1500 for High Rock. Note that hourly customer count <br />data was unavailable for the Walnut Grove site. If the County were to alter the hours of <br />operations of the collection centers, it would be best to open later in the morning (rather than <br />close earlier in the afternoon) in order to maximize the number of customers served while <br />minimizing costs. <br />24 <br />
