I recently took some hard-to-recycle plastics to the Ward 6 collection point, near the Ward 6 offices on First Street just east of Country Club. While I was there, another person came in and tossed a not-orange bag of plastics into one of the orange roll-offs.
I approached them and asked whether they knew that only the orange Hefty ReNew bags were being accepted. They did not, and asked where orange bags could be purchased. After some looking around, we found a smallish sign on the side of the roll-off with this information.
I believe this small sign is insufficient. I think a large (3x5 feet or even 4x6 feet) sign should be placed in a conspicuous position at each collection point clearly stating that ONLY orange Hefty ReNew bags are accepted, and saying where they can be bought.
Hey Tucson, can we make this a priority?
