This 240-unit apartment complex was adopted for the pilot program because the <br />apartment management agreed to use Orange County as its new recycling service provider and County <br />saw an opportunity to try its first glass separation from single stream recycling by providing a separate <br />set of roll carts labeled for glass bottles and jars only from a set of carts for single stream recycling <br />without glass bottles and jars. Residents were started on their new recycling program with separated <br />glass and before starting were informed by management in concert with Orange County of this program. <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 70D8DD00-0712-4FFB-A412-CD2A7FF1E38B
