10.If the total open hours are reduced OCTOBER through APRIL, which would serve you better? Check one.
11.FIWMD is unusual for having 2 sites. If we had one combined station, there would be one station schedule, you would get everything done at once, and you would be more likely to sort your divertible materials from your household garbage, which would reduce environmental and operational costs. Do you think FIWMD should pursue station consolidation?
12.Please provide any thoughts about consolidating the stations, pros, cons, questions, etc.
13.Please provide any other feedback about our operations. Thank you!
14.Optional — responses are anonymous unless you fill this in.
15.I would be willing to be contacted with follow-up questions.
