A. The "Phoenix Recycles" program is a method of collection developed to integrate recycling into the automated collection system utilized by the City. Residents are provided a second clearly identified recycling container in which to place specified items defined as recyclables. Residents participating in the recycling program receive once-per-week collection of recyclables and once-per-week collection of solid waste. Specific collection days each week are designated by the Director.

B. Recyclables collected from designated "Phoenix Recycles" recycling containers are taken to a materials recovery facility where they are separated into the various categories of recyclables, weighed, and sold to end processors. Materials that cannot be recycled will be taken to a solid waste disposal facility for disposal. Recyclables placed in a recycling container may not be bagged or bundled. (Ord.
