Nice footage, thanks for recording. I'd be a bit peeved if my nice 65g Otto Classic got swapped for a crappy 65 Edge, but I'm sure most residents don't care about that and are just happy with a fresh new can. Wow, those monthly prices are insane, I'd take the attitude of 'screw it, throw whatever doesn't fit in the 32 in the recycle' too. Honestly I doubt new lid graphics even make much of a difference generally. I think most folks are making those decisions in their kitchen or whereever and when they get out to the cart it's just, put bag of trash in trash, put bag of stuff I think is recycle in recycle, boom, done.
up to 87% contamination! Holy shit, but what do you expect when you are charging $50 a month for a 32 gallon cart. Around here you can get two 96 trash cans and a 96 recycle for that price. The contamination rate will not get any better charging those prices
always love rollout videos but MAN. I HATE how people just can't read a simple label. Its not *that* hard. Too bad those ottos were low quality, did they try to fix some of them? The new rehrigs we got a couple years ago had some missing/crooked labels on the lids but not that many.
GreenTeam areas were affected, too. I remember several months ago, I was going outside to take our carts in, and found that our Western Waste-issued Otto 32 had been replaced by a new Otto or Rehrig 64. I had no idea what to do with it because it wouldn't fit where we usually kept the 32 in the garage.
I'm interested to see how this turns out for San Jose. Seems like a very good idea, I'm mainly wondering if recycling contamination will actually go down or if people are just clueless about what goes where. Still surprises me how high SJ's rates are, even compared to SF and up here in Seattle, where cart size usually reflects price. Seems like SJ just adds $20-$60 onto the cart size and calls it good. Do you know if SJ ships their trash far away to be buried? That's why Seattle's rates are high too - all trash is trained to Oregon landfills. Good to hear the older Classics and even wheelies will likely be reused, most in great condition. How long is the city planning to run this pilot for?

@@WMAC_Master seriously?!
@@RecologySpencer apparently so
Are you aware of anyway to buy older carts. Do you think the companies will allow us the purchase old carts?
Oh no what the old cans are no longer there
Awesome video man
