Generator sectors included single-family { <br /> residential, multi-family residential, commercial, and <br /> C&D/bulky waste streams. KCI also conducted a <br /> concurrent recyclables composition study to <br /> determine the composition of recyclable materials <br /> collected in the city's curbside recycling program. As f <br /> part of this study, KCI also provided a conceptual <br /> approach to divert 65%of the material delivered to <br /> the transfer station from disposal by 2025.
