A21 CONCLUSION The Orange County SWCC survey used rigorous statistical methods and accepted weighting and analysis procedures to derive estimates of SWCC usage by customers residing inside and outside town limits. In addition, it provided useful information about recycling habits and preferences of Orange County residents. While these results accurately portray the nature of SWCC usage during the January 22 — February 3, 2015 data collection period, readers are cautioned that the survey provides a snapshot into this single period of time and should not be treated as a forecast for the future. Many factors both within the SWCCs themselves and in the environment they operate in could change usage patterns over time, such as influx and geolocation of new residents and developments, changes to curbside recycling programs, changes to operating hours or services available at the SWCCs, seasonal variations, or physical improvements /modernization of the SWCC(s), to name just a few. Nonetheless, the "snapshot in time" provided by this survey provides useful information to the County and the public as they consider how future solid waste management plans may both impact and be impacted by the SWCCs.
