    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

compartmentalized vehicles.

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.
