Crescimbeni - On Page 3 / “How you can help”, suggested – for “Report illegal dumping” – give contact information; and for Keep Jacksonville Beautiful – provide phone and contact information. On page 4 - suggested - keep map same size, eliminate the surrounding counties or change colors on map, spell out service company’s names, and delineate automated collection areas (these items were discussed by attendees)
Crescimbeni - On page 5, under “Common Standards of Service” – suggested changing the way the collection time is stated; also stated that number of feet (three feet) that receptacles and materials are placed from vehicles should be added;
Ed Obrero - Stated - the “3 feet” is for the mechanical arm for automated collection.
Crescimbeni - Suggested: Change heading to “Collection Schedules” (page 5)

CM Love & CM Crescimbeni – Page 6 - Suggested adding “630City” (for contact) to “Collection of all bulk items…”
Attendees discussed pages 7 through 12, with an emphasis on making the rules for waste and recycling collection more understandable with more technical information (and contact info) to provide citizens with a document giving a proper explanation of services and requirements.
