Sec. 246.201-5  Recommended procedures: Methods of separation and collection.

    Following separation within the home, any of the following methods 
of collection may be used:
    (a) Materials may be placed at the curbside by the resident and may 
be collected from each household using separate trucks or 
compartmentalized vehicles.
    (b) For multi-family dwellings, separated materials may be placed in 
bulk containers located outside of the building and collected by trucks 
dispatched to collect recyclables.
    (c) Collection stations may be set up at convenient locations to 
which residents bring recyclables. These stations should provide 
separate bulk containers for each item to be recycled. The size and type 
of container will depend on the volume and type of material collected, 
the method of transportation to be used in hauling the materials to 
market and the frequency of removal.
