A 2011 survey of the pilot area found 86% of households are participating in the pilot program. In the survey, 79% of respondents also identified the initial startup package as useful and informative. In the City-wide roll out, a similar startup package, along with a City-wide public communication plan, will be used.

COMMUNICATION PLAN Engineering and Corporate Communications have developed a communication plan to inform residents of the new city-wide curbside compostable collection program starting January 1, A good communication plan will result in better residential awareness and participation which will lead to higher rates of diversion, resulting in lower garbage tipping fees paid by the City. SUMMARY In order to achieve successful results City-wide in the Curbside Compostable Collection Program, a detailed communication plan and an effective launch are required. Details of the communication strategy are included in this report., P.Eng.

4 What happens to food waste collected? Food and yard waste collected is taken to The Answer Garden Products Ltd. in Abbotsford for processing into compost and fertilizer Gardeners and landscapers use the product to improve soil and aid plant growth. The finished product is used In compost mixtures that are sold in local and provincial nurseries and gardening centres. The finished product is also sold in bulk form to landscape compani es..,, Food Waste Pilot Proje~t.;L.. ~ '-"""A _,...I......,.,~.. _,-"".J.. - '_ L.. :_... ",,,,- "-,,:,,:," _._"-,...,~~~.:;..... How long is the pilot project? The pilot project will last 12 months, until December 31,2011, to provide reliable data and account for seasonal variations. The City will review the results and determine the next steps. The City may choose to end the program early if problems arise, or extend and expand the program in consultation with affected residents. How will the pilot project be evaluated? Issues to be assessed include cost effectiveness, reliability, volumes diverted, ease of implementation, participation, and program acceptance. Your input is a criti cal part of the evaluation process. Participants Will be invited to complete a survey mid-way and at the end of the pilot project. Mid-way and final reports will be prepared and made publicly available. When does food waste collection start? The pilot project first began on December 9, 2001 with 118 homes. The pilot was expanded to include an additional 306 homes on August 30, Please fo llow your regular collection schedule and continue to have your yard waste, garbage and recycling at curb side by 7 am on your collection days. Who do I contact if my yard waste was not picked up? Your yard waste container with your food waste will be collected at the curb side by the City for the term of the pilot project. Please contact the Engineering Department at , if your collection was missed.

5 What is accepted in the food waste pilot project? Cooked and uncooked vegetables, fruits, bread, egg, meat, bones, dairy products, and food-soiled paper products are accepted in the pilot project at this time. What is not accepted? Diapers, liquids, pet waste, pet litter and anything containing contaminants such as plastic or metal (including foil). The City has provided a reference poster which has a detailed list of acceptable and unacceptable materials. Should I continue using my backyard com poster? Continue to com post materials such as yard and garden waste and fruit and vegetable peelings in your backyard com poster. Home composting is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to recycle these materials and produces a beneficial soil amendment for your yard and garden. When shou ld I compost paper and when should I recycle paper? Continue to recycle all clean paper materials. Recycling paper is more environmenta lly benefic ial than composting paper. Although paper napkins, paper towels, paper cups, paper plates, pizza boxes, and other kitchen paper items are often contaminated wi th food and cannot be recycled, th ey can be composted and turned into a beneficial compost product. How do I prepare food waste for collection? Collect food waste in your kitchen pail. Empty your kitchen pail often and transfer the materials to your yard waste bin. Wash your kitchen pail witf1 soap and water or put It in the dishwasher once clean, it is ready for more compost Are liner bags allowed for the kitchen pail? Yes, but only paper bags - not plastic bags. It is not necessary to use a liner bag and in general, avoiding their use benefits the environment and saves you money. Therefore, use only newspaper. paper bags or no liner In your kitchen pail. If you do choose to use a liner bag in your kitchen pail, it must be 100% compostable, 100% plastic-free, and made entirely from paper and/or cellulose. Some new kraft paper food waste bags have a cellophane liner which is made 100% from cellulose. Cellulose liners reduce leakage and compost much better than compostable plastic bags. Do not use plastic bags or biodegradable or compostable plastic bags. If a paper bag is used, roll or fold the bag closed when full. DO not use twist ties or elastics. Residents may also use cardboard ice cream containers or paper milk cartons for food scrap collection and then place all the materials in the yard waste container. Food-soiled waxed paper and cardboard can be composted With food scraps. Please remember to keep plastic out of the yard waste container. Where can I get additional paper liner bags? A starter kit of kraft paper liner bags has been provided by the City. After using the initial sup ply, you can buy compostable bags included in your starter kit from Engineering at City Hall, 4th Floor. The cost for both types of food waste bags is $4.50 after HST for a pack of 10. Or, if you are using plain paper bags, you can buy them at most hardware stores. What if I have too much material? Food and kitchen waste collected is limited to the yard waste container dunng the pilot prolect. If you don't want to purchase an additional ya rd waste container. you can put your yard waste into Kraft Paper Yard waste Bags which will provide more room for your food waste. Alternatively, save your excess materials until the next collection day. If you have access to a yard, use a backyard composter to further reduce the amount taken to the curb. What if I don't have a full yard waste container? There is no need to fill up your yard waste container. Put it out weekly even if it is not full. Can I get additional kitchen pails? Yes. Each household is supplied with one kitchen pail for the pilot project. If you would like an additional kitchen pail, you may purchase them from most hardware stores and from the Abbotsford/Mission Recyc ling Depot on Valley Road. Look for compost collection palls made of plastic or stainless steel with a tight-fitting or heavy lid. people usually prefer their kitchen compost pails to be a maximum of 5 to 10 L so the container is not too heavy when full, and can be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning. What if the kitchen pail provided by the City break~ : during the pilot project? Please contact the City of Abbotsford'lij Engineering Services at ~ report a broken kitchen compost»
