1A Details to this revised service expansion plan include notifying all 7,000 residences of this new service option. While the initial deployment of approximately 8,200 rural roll carts to the current rural curbside service area went very smoothly, all these residences had access to the current collection program and were utilizing the service in 18- gallon bins for many years. As such, not as much education and outreach to these customers was required regarding basic recycling practices. Consequently, as the 7,000 new residences have never received curbside service from the County before, a more intense education and outreach plan will need to be developed to ensure residents are properly notified and understand the new service available to them. This may include more advertising, community outreach to rural civic and religious organizations and other conventional or non - conventional modes of communication. Another important detail includes the purchase and delivery of roll carts and bins to the new service area. Proposed in the FY 15/16 Solid Waste Capital Budget was the financing of 1,750 roll carts at $54 /each which were planned to be delivered by in -house crews and temporary labor. Also, due to the popularity of the roll carts in the current rural curbside recycling service area, an additional 600 carts have been ordered and delivered since the initial deployment of carts in February 2015. As a result of this unexpected higher demand for a roll cart, the 1,750 carts planned for financing in this fiscal year for the new service area may be a low estimate, and ordering 2,000 roll carts may be more prudent. In addition, as this estimate only included servicing approximately 3,500 residences, ordering a total of approximately 4,000 roll carts and adding a six dollar delivery charge (to be delivered by the contractor) would be more operationally feasible and efficient. In house crews and temporary labor could continue the planned delivery of 18- gallon bins to those residences who request to recycling in this manner. Below is a projected cost estimate from the FY 15/16 budgeted amount to fund and implement this new expansion plan and the original phase II implementation savings estimate. Total estimated cost savings versus original preliminary estimates (including newly estimated additional 500 roll carts) _ $341,761 (not including recurring savings of fuel /maintenance /etc. from not acquiring second truck).
