Basics

A Service that could be offered by makerspaces / OSEH 's for material input, and income
Essentially a similar transportation model to the "newspaper delivery kid on bike"
- Numerous bikes/ Human Powered Vehicles or LSEVs to cover the local area
Could allow for
- Metal Recycling / Scrap Metal (mainly aluminium and Steel )
- Plastic Recycling (Need analysis on average waste divided by material (what percent abs etc)
- Could also do biomass / paper / waste perhaps for use in paper/wood composites or as fuel for some sort of WTE system (pyrolysis, anerobic digestion, etc)

Analysis

Calculate average waste outflow per USA household
Calculate percentage of total mass of materials out of the whole flow
Calculate maximum feasable range + cost of transport labor/fuel (if not human powered)
Research Bike Trailer Options, Small EV's
Explore if small shredders/hammermills could be of use for reduction
Research/Make Policies (please clean the recycling, reduce as well as you can...)
Research Pricing

According to this : "Generally speaking, you can expect to pay approximately $5 to $25 per month for weekly or biweekly curbside recycling services. This fee typically includes one bin for paper products and another for metal and plastic. If you exceed this limit, you might pay an additional $2.50 to $7.50 per bin"

A Bike can pull ~250kg at ~10km/hr
[This is what 250kg of plastic looks like in shredded/reduced form]
SO thinking 4-5 "bins" / bags and possibly a shredder/shears for reducing things if need be
