## Research questions

### Can a recycling campaign promise the same accepted materials in every location?

WM's US Recycle Right guidance explicitly says recyclable items vary by local program. It asks for clean, dry items and loose recyclables without plastic bags. Suggested practice: attach the local accepted-material list to the offer; general recycling imagery does not establish acceptance at a particular address.

### What limit belongs in a Norco residential bulky-pickup offer?

WM's Norco, California guide offers curbside-cart residents three free bulky or universal-waste pickups per calendar year. Each has item or bag limits; extra pickups carry a fee. Suggested practice: qualify the local account and remaining allowance rather than advertise unlimited free collection.

### When must a Norco customer schedule a special waste pickup?

WM's Norco, California guide says to schedule bulk or universal-waste pickup two business days before the regular collection day. Later requests move to the following week. Suggested practice: distinguish a submitted pickup request from a confirmed service date and preserve the business-day deadline.

### Which customer and material conditions qualify Norco's move-in packaging pickup?

WM's Norco, California guide offers new residential customers one no-charge recyclable-packaging pickup within their first three months of service. Materials must be flattened and bundled; plastic wrap, foam and other non-recyclables are excluded. Suggested practice: collect start date and material details before promising the offer.
