Subject: Cart Exchange Fee
Background:
A cart exchange fee is designed to recover costs associated with exchanging carts for residential
customers who feel they have the wrong size cart for their trash volumes.
Discussion:
Justification for fee-
This fee is proposed in an effort to limit the number of residents changing cart sizes. There
should be no fee if a resident want to change to a smaller cart in order to promote waste
reduction.
• Many communities with Volume Based programs, like Fayetteville, have similar fees
associated with changing cart sizes.
• The fee will be collected to offset the costs of staff labor, equipment and time involved
with changing the cart. Sending an employee to change out the carts will affect the
responsibilities of the Residential Collections Crew leader by requiring him to perform
the activity, which will amount to approximately 30 minutes per change out. If residents
are continually requesting changes then 10 requests a day will account for half of his
work day.
• The fee will also offset the cost of maintaining correct inventory of carts. Staff time will
need to be allotted to record and maintained correct counts of the number of each size
cart. Based on references from other cities who have implemented a cart program most
of the requests for cart changes will occur in the first 90 days of the new program.
Recommendation:
Implement an exchange fee of $20 to cover costs of upgrading cart sizes while not instituting a
fee for an exchange to a smaller cart. We recommend giving residents a one time chance, at no
charge, to change their cart size after the initial delivery of the carts for a period ending 5/15/02.

Subject: Cart Exchange Fee
Background:
Solid Waste and Recycling staff request a cart exchange fee be established to recover costs
associated with exchanging carts for residential customers who feel they have the wrong size cart
for their trash volumes.
Discussion:
This fee is proposed in an effort to recover costs associated with changing cart sizes to residential
customers. In an effort to promote waste reduction and recycling, there should be no fee if a
resident wants to change to a smaller cart. Justification for establishing a fee is listed below:
• Many communities with Volume Based or Pay-As-You-Throw programs, like
Fayetteville, have similar fees associated with changing cart sizes. Based on references
from other cities who have implemented a cart program most of the requests for cart
changes will occur in the first 60 days of the new program.
• Employee labor and time to change out the carts will affect the responsibilities of the
Residential Collections Crew leader by requiring him to perform the activity, which will
amount to approximately 30 minutes per change out. This added duty will affect his
daily responsibilities, for example, if residents are continually requesting changes then 10
requests a day will account for half of his work day.
• The fee will also offset the cost of maintaining correct inventory of carts. Staff time will
need to be allotted to record and maintain correct counts of the number of each size cart
for future distributions.
Recommendation:
Implement an exchange fee of $20 to cover costs of upgrading cart sizes while not instituting a
fee for an exchange to a smaller cart to promote waste reduction and recycling. Staff
recommends allowing residents, after the 30 day period from receipt of their cart, a one time
chance, at no charge, to change their cart size. The exchange period for residents to exchange
their carts without a fee would end by 4/30/03. To avoid continual requests for cart exchanges,
staff recommends cart exchanges must be held for a minimum of 30 days.
