A
Well,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
mayor,
Peduto,
grant
and
Claire
and
staff
for
having
me
here
today.
It's
an
honor
to
be
here
and
certainly
excited
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
rarick
Pacific
and
what
we
do
before
we
get
into
that,
though
I
thought
it'd
be
good
for
everybody
to
know
that
I
actually
live
in
the
city
of
Baltimore,
Maryland
and
I
know
how
that
can
be
considering
our
competitive
rivalry
rivalries,
but
I
did
grow
up
in
western
Pennsylvania.
A
So
I
am
a
huge
Steelers
fan
and
I
just
wanted
to
avoid
any
dirty.
Looks
while
I
do
my
presentation,
so
so
I
met
grant
out
at
the
m
WM
a
conference
in
San
Diego,
and
he
asked
me
to
come
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
who
we
are,
what
we
do
our
experience
and
how
maybe
we
can
help
here,
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
so
who
we
are
rare,
Pacific's
a
company,
that's
been
in
business
for
101
years,
we're
a
family
owned
business.
A
We
operate
into
multiple
industries,
the
supply
chain,
solutions,
business,
helping
a
lot
of
the
major
CPG
companies
get
their
products
to
the
stores.
We're
a
leader
in
the
environmental
space
dealing
with
solid
waste
and
recycling
initiatives.
A
lot
of
what
we
do
is
provide
sustainable
and
renewable
packaging
for
our
customers
and
turnkey
solutions,
and
today
we
have
over
30
million
recycling
containers
on
the
street
in
over
thousands
of
communities
throughout
North
America.
So
you
can
see
by
our
footprint.
A
What
do
we
do?
We
provide
comprehensive
solutions
that
optimize
our
customers
business
operations.
That's
everything
from
the
curbside
collection
containers
used
in
residential
and
commercial
applications
for
a
number
of
streams,
solid
waste
recycling,
organics
yard
waste.
We
have
a
whole
line
of
sophisticated
technology
and
services
that
help
our
customers
to
deploy
and
implement
these
projects,
but
also
to
track
their
progress
over
time.
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
a
lot
of
those
details.
I
think
we
want
to
get
into
more
about
what
we've
learned.
A
What
we've
learned
is
that,
if
you
remove
the
confusion,
frustration
and
complexity
of
a
program,
people
will
do
it.
If
you
look
at
some
of
the
key
components,
it's
that
we
have
here
in
terms
of
what
actually
is
contributes
to
a
successful
recycling
program.
Things
like
consistency,
collection
frequencies,
making
sure
that
people
know
when
their
container
is
going
to
be
picked
up,
make
it
very
clear
as
part
of
your
education
plan.
If
you
can
do
it,
weekly
you'll
see
benefits
it's
every
other
week.
A
Let's
keep
it
on
the
same
day
every
other
week,
convenience
is
probably
the
most
important
convenience
really
comes
down
to
having
a
place
to
put
your
material.
It's
not
asking
the
residents
to
do
more
to
recycle
it's
making
it
easy
for
them
and
keeping
it
user-friendly
so
that
you
can
see
is
and
a
lot
of
the
programs.
If
you
have
like
an
18
gallon
recycling
bin,
they
run
out
of
space.
The
rest
of
that
material
goes
in
the
trash.
A
You
ask
them
to
put
it
in
a
bag,
they
put
it
in
the
bag,
they
run
out
of
bags.
The
rest
of
the
material
goes
in
the
trash,
so
these
are
the
things
that
happen
over
and
over
again
and
I'll
show
you
some
results
from
programs
that
have
gone
to
larger
containers
and
for
curbside
recycling
with
those
results.
Look
like
education.
A
Education
is
extremely
important
on
the
front
end.
It's
also
important.
On
the
back
end,
you
need
to
continually
educate
changes
in
program.
You
know
materials
that
you're
collecting
or
whatever
it
might
be
your
different
messaging.
We
have
ways
to
engage
the
consumer
through
technology
on
our
products.
Allow
them
to
interact
with
it
with
a
container
bringing
them
to
sites,
give
them
graphics
on
the
container.
A
That
tells
them
what
goes
in
the
bin
when
it
goes
in
it,
and
also
our
technology,
allows
us
to
track
who's
participating
in
programs
and
who
is
in
and
I'll
allow
you
to
target
your
education
efforts
towards
the
lower
participating,
neighborhoods
and
constantly
driving
recycling
over
time.
So
here
are
some
results.
I
took
four
programs
here
and
most
of
these
programs
all
had
a
curbside
recycling
bin,
so
they
had
an
established
curbside
program
similar.
We
have
in
city
of
Pittsburgh.
A
They
then
had
went
to
larger
65
or
ninety
five
gallon
block
containers
at
the
curb
and
the
tonnage
increases
that
you'll
see
by
going
from
abe
into
a
cart
for
miami-dade
county
florida.
Ninety-Nine
percent
increase
in
tonnage.
Sixty-Eight
percent
for
Colorado
for
Denver,
fifty-four
percent
for
Frederick
County
and
in
a
pilot
program
we
did.
We
took
a
sampling
in
10,000
homes
down
in
the
city
of
Atlanta.
They
increased
by
seventy-seven
percent.
That
pilot
program
actually
led
them
to
then
go
citywide
with
curbside
recycling
program
and
we'll
get
back
to
that.
A
A
minute,
some
of
the
other
things,
an
article
that
was
posted
by
Madison
Wisconsin.
They
also
saw
significant
increases
in
their
tonnage,
but
they
also
pointed
out
things
such
as
the
reduction
in
greenhouse
gases,
and
it
was
equivalent
to
removing
8700
cars
from
the
road.
They
also
have
reduced
the
amount
of
waste
going
in
there
landfill
by
twelve
percent,
so
overall
extended
the
life,
the
landfill
and
total
savings.
When
you
look
at
collection
operations
and
becoming
more
efficient,
there's
several
options
out
there.
A
You
know:
there's
workman's
comp
savings,
there's
no
more
manual
collection
at
the
curve
which
can
result
in
injury.
So
what
do
we
do?
What
areas
would
we
evaluate
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
similar
areas?
You
look
at?
How
does
the
increase
in
material
tonnage
that
we
could
get
from
a
containerized
program,
build
additional
revenue
from
your
marf
every
ton?
A
We
divert
that's
one
less
disposal
costs
that
you
have
to
pay
and
that's
that
those
numbers
can
be
staggering,
depending
on
the
financials
here
in
the
pits
and
city
of
Pittsburgh,
lower
operational
and
transport
costs
to
landfill.
So
I
understand
there's
to
landfills
in
the
city,
and
you
know
they're
pretty
far
apart
from
each
other,
but
we
have
a
Murph,
that's
close
by
so
for
every
ten
tons
that
you
divert
from
you
know
the
landfill
to
a
Murph.
A
That's
one
less
trip
that
you're
going
to
make
the
landfill
so
you're
going
to
see
some
transportation
cost
savings
decrease
in
workman's
comp
cases.
What
are
they
today
were
they
coming
from
how
many
are
actually
related
to
the
collection
of
curbside
recycling
and
bags?
We
can
prevent
that
containerized
program
will
prevent
anything
from
protruding
out,
cutting
or
hitting
your
drivers.
It
also
easily
lifts
itself
and
reduce
liabilities
and
future
operational
efficiencies.
A
There's
various
collection
equipment
out
there
that
you
can
utilize,
all
of
which
can
have
a
different
impact
on
operational
efficiencies,
isn't
something
we
need
to
look
at
and
then
finally,
we
can
look
at.
You
know
extending
the
life
of
landfill.
What
does
that
mean
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
is
something
we
want
to
pursue
further?
A
So
a
couple
things
as
you
look
at
put
in
a
program
together,
one
would
be
procurement
right.
So
how
do
we
buy
the
containers,
maybe
through
a
procurement
process?
In
that
area,
pennsylvania
state
of
pennsylvania
has
a
co-stars
contract.
It's
a
cooperative
purchasing
contract,
a
lot
of
containers
and
this
type
of
technology
is
on
there
and
can
be
procured
off
of
that
contract
and
then,
more
importantly,
the
question
is
funding.
So
how
do
you
fund
a
program?
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
are
familiar
with
the
closed
loop
fund.
They
started
marketing
themselves
here
recently.
A
A
He
implemented
the
city
of
New
York's
curbside,
organics
program,
people
consider
a
recycling
guru,
so
Ron
and
Walmart
got
together
and
they're
trying
to
create
a
way
to
build
up
the
availability
of
recycled
material,
because
Walmart
would
like
for
a
lot
of
the
CPG
companies
that
that
work
for
Walmart
today
to
increase
the
amount
of
recycle
material
that
they
put
in
their
products.
But
the
challenge
is
that
the
availability
of
material
isn't
there.
So
what
do
you
do?
They
created
a
closed
loop
fund?
A
lot
of
the
CPG
companies
invested
in
this
fund.
A
A
Today
we
have
we
process,
55
million
pounds
of
post-consumer
recycled
material,
that
is
kelana
vez
collected
from
curbside
recycling
programs
to
reuse
it
in
our
product,
and
so
you
know
we
have
a
facility
in
Erie
Pennsylvania,
and
you
know
we
could
easily
capture
material
from
the
local
Murph's
here
the
HCP.
We
need
reproduce
it
into
our
products
and
then
reuse
it.
