acquire and distribute 35, 65 and 95 -gallon recycling carts to all eligible households with the goal of
providing each household with one recycling cart. The cash award will also implement a City-wide
education and outreach campaign to support the cart-based recycling program and maintain low
contamination rates. Additionally, the budget includes money for the purchase of smart technology to
assist in detecting contamination and enabling more targeted recycling outreach to residents.

City of Fayetteville, Arkansas
Subject: Recycled Material Content, Donated Resin, and Cart Longevity
Dear City of Fayetteville,
Please accept this letter as written confirmation that, upon award, Schaefer Plastics North America, LLC will
produce recycling carts for the City of Fayetteville, AR recycling program project containing a minimum of five
percent (5%) post-consumer residential recycled content, as defined by The Recycling Partnership, and will
comply with all guidelines pertaining to the use of donated resin from The Dow Chemical Company.
Recycling Partnership Cart Grant Program – Recycled Content Requirements: Recycling carts purchased
with grant funding from The Recycling Partnership must be manufactured with a minimum of five percent (5%)
residential post‐consumer recycled plastic content based on the weight of the entire mass of the body, lid, and
wheels. To qualify as residential post‐consumer content, the reclaimed plastic must have been generated by a
household and collected for recycling by a curbside or drop‐off recycling program in the United States. This
recycled content requirement cannot be met through the use of post‐industrial plastics or plastic sourced from
end‐of‐life carts or bins.
Documentation: Following the cart roll-out, Schaefer Plastics is committed to providing all documentation
required by The Recycling Partnership for the distribution of grant funds, including:
•An invoice detailing the number of recycling carts purchased and distributed
•The total weight of residential post-consumer recycled plastic content utilized in the production of the
recycling carts
•The total weight of the purchased carts, including the mass of the body, lid, and wheels
Donated Resin: Utilizing donated resin from The Dow Chemical Company, Schaefer Plastics will produce the
recycling carts for the City of Fayetteville at a reduced price. This reduction will reflect a net savings substantially
equal to the value of the donated resin.
Schaefer Plastics will work with The Recycling Partnership and The Dow Chemical Company to establish the
value of the donated resin. This value will be calculated using the total resin weight, less the five percent (5%)
post-consumer recycled content requirement, colorant, and cart-grade PCR. The resulting savings to the City of
Fayetteville will be reflected as a credit on the final invoice.
Cart Life Expectancy: Schaefer carts are engineered for durability and long-term performance. Each cart
includes a 10-year warranty, reflecting the confidence we place in our materials and manufacturing processes. To
validate product longevity, our carts undergo rigorous ANSI cycle testing, which simulates real-world collection
conditions. Testing demonstrates that Schaefer carts withstand a minimum of 520 dump cycles with no damage
or permanent deformation, ensuring reliable performance throughout their service life. While actual cart useful life
may vary based on environmental and operational factors, Schaefer carts are typically expected to last 15–20
years.
Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this program
will have on the Fayetteville community.
Sincerely,
Stephen Redfern
Sr. Director, Municipal Sales and Sales Operations
