I am pleased to <br />be able to share both of these documents with you at this time. <br /> <br />Regarding the Participant Survey Results, we received useable <br />data from 548 of our 625 participants. This data will prove very <br />helpful as we look to future collection events here in Cabarrus <br />County. To quickly summarize the data: <br /> <br />A majority of our participants (57%) learned about'the <br />collection day through the.newspaper, -~ ........... <br /> <br />62% of the participants would.have continued.to.store bhe <br />Rq{W resulting in potential spill or leakage problems. <br /> <br />36% recommended a bi-annual collection day rather than an <br />annual event (29%). <br /> <br />94% of the participants brought HHW only from their own <br />houses. <br /> <br />98% of the participants lived in Cabarrus County, with 77% <br />inside city limits. <br /> <br />75% of the participants came from Concord, followed by 9% <br />from Harrisburg, 8% from Kannapolis, 7% from Mt. Pleasant <br />and 1% from Midland. <br /> <br />99% of the participants found the collection site <br />convenient, the day of the week convenient and the time <br />convenient. <br /> <br />Feel free to read for yourself the positive comments and <br />suggestions which we received from the 548 participants. <br />survey proved to be an excellent means to gather this <br />information. <br /> <br />The <br /> <br />Employment and program opportunities are offered to all people regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or handicap. <br />North Carolina State University, North Carolina A&T State University, U.$.
