• Communication with the public was key for
increasing volume and dealing with unauthorized
items.
• The City’s Communications and
Marketing Division did a GREAT job on getting
the word out to the public and finding out what they wanted in the program.
• They also worked with Sonoco on being able to
add new items to our stream.
