SUBJECT:
Redesigning DSWAs Current Front Loading Recycling Containers
Here is the report you requested September 2, 2004 on redesigning DSWAs current front loading
recycling containers.
As described previously in the progress report, there were numerous problems with DSWAs
current recycling containers. Not only were these containers lacking visual appeal, but also the
proper components to indicate recyclables rather than trash. Loud noise and material spills
during the content removal of these containers also contributed to a lack of site sponsorship. In
addition, lock-bar malfunctions, low structural integrity, and rust and graffiti problems resulted
in high lifetime maintenance costs for each container.
A redesign of the current front loading recycling container has been completed, and all details
can be found in the report. The solutions to these problems include shape alterations in order to
create a more effective aesthetical appeal, highlighting the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” logo, and a
more effective working arrangement with the BFI truck, reducing the amount of material spills
during content removal. A new automatic lock-bar was also mounted to the side of the container
and additional structural problems were resolved, yielding lower lifetime maintenance costs for
each container.
Some problems did arise during this project, but they can be resolved in the future. Newspaper
and cardboard fibers were not easily removed from the containers and may require a contingency
plan. We included descriptions of two contingency plans in this report for your perusal. In
addition, new paints, which may solve graffiti and rust problems, were not justified by our tests.
We plan to supply you with all the required information if you should choose to continue paint
testing.
We are grateful to Rich Von Stetten, Dan Hemerlein, and Ken Bachman for their help in this
project.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work on this project. It has been a real educational
experience. We look forward to seeing the redesigned containers at the new recycling sites. If
you have any questions about the report, please contact us via email.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) is responsible for the statewide management of
solid waste including a major recycling program, Recycle Delaware (RD). Fabricators Steel is
the company which provides containers for DSWA and their recycling program. Our team
worked with DSWA and Fabricators Steel to design a new type of recycling container for use in
the RD program. Cost efficiency, aesthetics, durability, and functionality were paramount in
developing a new prototype. Continuous communication was kept with DSWA and Fabricators
Steel to ensure that all wants and metrics were considered. We incorporated these wants into
five subsystems (lids, locking mechanisms, paints, sleeves, and shapes), which took into account
the key metrics (sponsor approval for the aesthetics and the ability to be recognized, amount of
repainting needed, frequency of structural fixes, time saved during lock and unlock, mating of
container to truck, container life cost). From this communication, our system was broken down
into subsystems, and concepts for each subsystem were created and measured. We selected our
final concepts based upon the design process and the metrics derived from our key wants, as well
as rapid prototypes of each shape. We chose the container shape that was based on the recycling
symbol and integrates the sleeves into the front profile of the body for improved aesthetics,
ability to be recognized, structural integrity, and cost effectiveness (a lack of rounded
components means less time and less outsourcing of fabrication). We chose poly lids for their
quietness while being emptied, and for their cost effectiveness. We chose side-mounted autolocks for their low-profile unobtrusive aesthetics, cost effectiveness, and most importantly the
ease with which they can be locked and unlocked which vastly improves the overall ease with
which the container can be emptied. Choice of paint concept had to be deferred until graffiti
resistance testing could be performed. At this point we met with our sponsors from DSWA to
present our final concept and receive feedback from them. Our sponsor used their own criteria to
choose the same concept, which independently verified our problem definition, including our
wants and metrics. We then discussed their suggestions for opening up the angle of the top of
the container more, increasing the lid size, and creating an alternative design for the cardboard
containers. In the following weeks, we created a final design of the container reflecting these
and Fabricators Steel’s concerns, as well as a multiple contingency plans reflecting different
levels of modification should the new design prove significantly worse with respect to emptying
cardboard.
An old container was painted using the three potential methods as well as the old method.
Graffiti resistance testing based on ASTM standards was conducted which showed that the
current and least-expensive painting method is just as resistant as the new possibilities.
Fabricators Steel finished the prototype and functional tests showed the container mated
perfectly with the BFI truck forks and top. After testing, the container was painted by
Fabricators Steel and delivered to DSWA. A complete set of drawings were produced reflecting
the changes made by Fabricators Steel to ease manufacture. All life cycle concerns were
addressed, and container life cost estimates were reevaluated based on this new information from
testing. A transitional period will involve passing off all of the materials concerning this project
to the appropriate persons at DSWA.

REDESIGNING DSWAS CURRENT FRONT
LOADING RECYCLING CONTAINERS
INTRODUCTION
Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) has been concerned with recycling and trash
collection in Delaware since 1975. This fall, they solicited the help of the University of
Delaware’s Mechanical Engineering Senior Design team to develop and produce a more
effective recycling container. Numerous DSWA employees, as well as site sponsors and users,
provided us with various issues to consider when designing the new recycling container. After
speaking with everyone involved in the project, we were able to assess the problems and
concentrate on improving the current containers in regards to aesthetics, durability, functionality,
and cost efficiency.
Purpose, Scope, and Objectives
The purpose of this report is to inform DSWA, Fabricators Steel, and our advisors on the results
of our container prototype, which incorporates improvements in appearance, structure, and
safety. At the beginning of the design process, our team identified the key areas of concern
regarding design and fabrication, created several concept strategies, and determined a final
design. Several modifications were then made to our original design to accommodate DSWAs
and Fabricators Steel’s concerns and suggestions. Other factors that we considered throughout
the design process were the time and the cost of manufacturing each container. In defining the
key areas of interest, we were able to not only produce a prototype that satisfied the customers’
wants, but also develop applicable tests for the container to undergo.
Sources and Methods
In preparing for this report, our team initially interviewed the primary customers and compiled a
list of their needs and wants in a new container. Once their concerns were specified, we created
metrics to measure whether their needs and wants were satisfied by our proposed concept
strategies and target values. After we divided our project into five subsystems (shape, paint,
sleeves, lids, and locking mechanisms), we compiled a list of concepts for each category and
weighed them against our metrics and target values. As a result, our team chose to produce
Concept 7, which includes a triangular shape with truncated corners and partially hidden sleeves,
a side-mount auto lock, a poly lid, and an anti-graffiti coating applied over the traditional paint.
After our presentation with our sponsors, we incorporated their concerns and suggestions into
our final concept design. (These modifications were then tested as needed.)

PROTOTYPE RESULTS
Benchmarking
Through meetings with DSWA and Fabricators Steel, we were able to benchmark the current
containers and evaluate their problems and constraints:

Paint and Structure: Since recycling is associated with cleanliness, recycling containers
require special attention. Unlike trash containers, recycling containers must be visually
appealing. The main aesthetic problem for DSWAs current containers is rust, especially
in areas that are near the coast. Graffiti also poses a threat to the overall visual appeal of
the containers, and the current painting method is not effective in protecting them from
permanent damage. An excessive amount of rust and/or graffiti can distract users,
resulting in their return to DSWA for costly repainting. In addition, BFI truck drivers
may hit the containers from time to time. Similar to paint damages, structural problems
with the containers that occur from truck accidents can also distract users, resulting in
their return to DSWA for costly repair. Most of these structural problems occur near the
containers’ sleeves, which are the areas that are used by the truck’s forks for lifting.
DSWA attempted to rectify this problem by bolting plastic sheets on the containers, but
they could not hold up against the truck’s forks and faded in the UV sunlight.

Lock-Bar: Lock-bars are required on all DSWA containers to prevent contaminants in
their recycling program. The current lock-bar is manual, requiring the driver to get out of
the truck, unlock and lift the lock-bar, empty the container, and re-position and lock the
lock-bar. Since it is a very time intensive task, some drivers decide to use their truck’s
forks to open and close the lock-bar which results in a bent, unusable lock-bar, and a
costly repair is necessary. DSWA has tried other systems that are automatic including a
front mounted auto-lock system that was not very aesthetically pleasing and a spring
loaded steel lid that was extremely noisy.

Shape: The current container shape incorporates the same basic shape used for trash
containers. The only difference between the two containers involves different paint
schemes and user openings incorporated into the recycling containers. DSWA has a
difficult time finding sponsorship of sites because their containers are not visually
appealing. DSWA has tried making custom containers but they are too costly to make
and cannot be emptied by front loading trucks which are the most efficient recycling
trucks. Since front loading trucks have a standard fork arrangement, new shapes must
utilize standard sleeve dimensions.
6
Wants
In the beginning of our project, we sought information and feedback from some of the employees
of DSWA. These were our main customers: Pat Canzano, Rich von Stetten, and Ken Bachman.
We also had the opportunity to meet with one of the BFI truck drivers and receive feedback and
suggestions from him. From all of this feedback, we were able to conclude that appearance, cost
effectiveness, contaminants, and effective content
removal of the containers were key concerns.
Problems with appearance stemmed from graffiti,
structural weakness of the sleeves, and the
containers’ general resemblance to trash
containers. Cost effectiveness issues centered on
having to repaint the containers because of the
graffiti, as well as having to repair sleeves and
replace lock-bars. From the concerns voiced and
our own observation of the containers brought
back to DSWA with problems, we were able to
create a list of the top ten wants of DSWA for this
Figure 1: Top 10 Wants Measured from Feedback
project (Figure 1).
Constraints
We also spoke to our partner, Dan Hemerlein from
Fabricators Steel in Baltimore, to discuss constraints
and receive suggestions from him. He did not
provide any constraints as far as production methods
were concerned, but provided other constraints
including the sizes of lids available and the size of the
truck (Figure 2) and therefore the necessary width of
container and sleeves. However, the constraint of lid
size could be avoided if steel lids were chosen rather
than poly lids.

Metrics & Target Values
Hidden sleeves and
rounded edges
Non-hidden sleeves and

Unique shape and

Figure 3: Three of our seven shape
designs.
By looking at our top ten wants we were able to create
metrics which could measure the wants, and target
values which we believe are feasible targets which
these tests could reach. The metrics we developed
were sponsor approval of design, paint test for graffiti
removal, frequency of structural fixes, time to empty
container, container life cost, and measure fitting of
container to truck. The metric of sponsor approval can
validate that the design is both aesthetically pleasing
and recognizable. However, there were no applicable
ways to measure the success of the container providing
an easy recycling experience, and an easy and quiet
empty. These wants can be qualitatively accessed, but
not quantitatively accessed.
The target values which correspond to these key
metrics were also formed. To ensure our design was
truly aesthetically pleasing and looked significantly
different than trash dumpsters, we aimed for our design
to be fully supported by DSWA and for it to be their
top rated design. To ensure paint graffiti removal
through paint testing, we set our goal of paint graffiti
removal to be as good as present. We also determined
that a decrease in cost due to structural fixes would
very much be a reachable goal for testing of the
frequency of structural fixes. Due to the current cost of
$180 going toward structural fixes for every
refurbishing, this seemed highly attainable. To verify
that the container was easy to lock and unlock by the
truck drivers, we set aside a target value of decreasing
the time to empty each container by one minute, as the
time taken to lock and unlock was the best opportunity
to decrease emptying time. Because of the importance
of some other issues due to the impact they had on the
system and DSWA, cost effectiveness was ranked as
the sixth most important want, and the target value to
achieve this was for the container to be less costly over
its lifetime than the current containers. The last target
value validated the tenth of the top ten wants, which
was less spilling on the BFI trucks. The value we were
aiming for was the container fitting properly with the
truck or in other words the opening for the top of the
container was not to be greater than the opening for top
of the truck.

Concept Generation & Selection
By using the set of wants, metrics, and target values we were able to use the design process to
select the best concept for each of our subsystems. Because of the nature of our project, we had
determined that the recycling container was comprised of several networked but semiindependent subsystems. These are the locking mechanism, lids, sleeves, shape, and paint.
Seven shape concepts were designed incorporating the options of the hidden sleeves, non-hidden
sleeves, and even partial hidden or partially integrated sleeves (Figure 3). Initially we started
conceptualizing rounded shapes but decided against them because of additional fabrication costs
associated with rounding steel. Next, we looked into non-rounded shapes that were unique and
did not look like simple rectangular objects. We found our final concept by using a non-rounded
unique structure that resembled the familiar “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” logo. By using the logo,
the shape would become much more recognizable to users. Concepts for locking mechanisms
were the manual lock, the cam auto lock for steel lids, the front mount auto lock no longer
carried by Fabricators steel, and the side-mount auto lock. Regarding lids, the only two options
were steel lids, which are louder and more expensive, or
poly lids, which are not economically customizable. Paint
methods included the current method, a solvent based and a
water based paint system, and the addition of anti-graffiti
coating over the current concept.
Through the use of the design process we were able to
determine what should be the best concept for each
subsystem. The resulting system was the container shaped
like the recycling symbol, with partially hidden sleeves, a
single poly lid, side-mount automatic lock, and the antigraffiti coating (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Selected shape and sleeves.
Concept Development
In an ensuing meeting with Pat Canzano and Rich von Stetten from Fabricators Steel, our first
target value for appearance was met when their survey of people at DSWA yielded the selection
of the same shaped container that we had chosen via the design process. Other plans for testing
were developed. They included a paint test and a functionality test. Changes were suggested for
the container, but we were not able to make custom sized poly lids to be able to make the
opening in the top of the container larger. Our team also met with Dan Hemerlein a few more
times to go over the design with him. He made a few suggestions, including:
1. removing the points from the sides of the container beside the sleeves
2. adding a baffle to the back part of the top of the container where the lid does not reach so
as to help flow out of the container
3. moving the skids out to the outside edges of the bottom of the container
4. adding extra support around the top of the container
5. substituting thicker (0.1875”) steel with the current (0.14”) steel
He also adjusted our dimensions slightly to better fit the available lid, which is 36”x58.” Plans
were made for the actual fabrication of the prototype and a test for functionality was established
9
to happen at Fabricators Steel, where a BFI or similar truck was to lift and empty the prototype
container and also help determine whether the points on the container should remain or be
removed from the design as Dan Hemerlein had suggested. The results of this test was that the
container would work better without the points and that overall the container matched up
properly with the BFI truck.
By removing points beside the sleeves, the new container
retained its aesthetic qualities while eliminating areas that
could be damaged by trucks (Figure 5). Thus, the shape was
more structurally sound because of a smaller area that could be
impacted by the truck. Structural integrity was also enhanced
by the substitution of thicker steel. Since most of the structural
issues involved deflection failure, we focused on the
differences in deflection between the two steel thicknesses. By
using the program found on www.xcalcs.com, we were able to
calculate the change in deflection between the current and new
containers’ thicknesses. By using 0.1875” steel instead of
0.14” steel, we were able to prevent up to 42% of the
deflection. Thus, in deflection failure, the new container will
outperform the current container. In addition, the new
container will perform at least as well as the current container
in other, but less important, failure modes.
Figure 5: Final design without lid
or lock-bar.
Obtaining Paint and Preparing a Testing Plan
There are three painting concepts that could eliminate the graffiti and rusting issues of the
containers: a solvent based painting method, a water based painting method, and an anti-graffiti
coating method applied to the current paint or in combination with one of the first two methods.
The solvent based and water based painting methods requires paint from The Sherwin-Williams
Company; the anti-graffiti coating is a product of MAB Paints; and the current painting method
is stocked at the DSWA Wilmington plant. In addition, the paint manufacturers have quoted that
all new painting methods will last at least 10 years as long as exposure to abrasive materials is
avoided, however we will not be testing the life span of each painting method.
The solvent based painting method is as follows, details can be found in Appendix H:
1. Zinc-rich Primer Coat – Zinc Clad® II HS Inorganic Zinc-Rich Coating
2. Epoxy Tie-Coat – Recoatable Epoxy Primer
3. Urethane Coat – Poly-lon® 1900 Polyester Polyurethane
Solvent based painting method total price = $0.55 per square foot
Approximately $119.35 per 8-yard container
10
The water based painting method is as follows, details can be found in Appendix I:
1. Zinc-rich Primer Coat – Zinc Clad® VI Water Based Organic Zinc-Rich Epoxy
2. Epoxy Tie-Coat – Water-Based Tile Clad® Epoxy Primer
3. Urethane Coat – Centurion® Water-Based Urethane
Water based painting method total price = $0.68 per square foot
Approximately $147.56 per 8-yard container
The current painting method is as follows:
1. Synflex® Primer mixed with Synflex® Hardener by National
2. Synflex® Synthetic Enamel mixed with Synflex® Hardener by National
Current painting method total price = $0.34 per square foot
Approximately $73.90 per 8-yard container
The anti-graffiti coating method is as follows, details can be found in Appendix J:
1. One of the painting methods
2. Anti-graffiti Coating – Polyester Aliphatic Urethane
Anti-graffiti coating adds $0.08 per square foot to the painting method beneath it.
The current method uses approximately $91.26 per 8-yard container.
Note: All prices do not include labor cost. The labor cost is explained in Appendix E.
Our team was not able to obtain the primers used for the solvent and water-based painting
methods due to the unavailability of free samples from The Sherwin-Williams Company.
Instead, these primers were replaced with the current Synflex® Primer for the graffiti resistance
testing. Kirk Eberly, from The Sherwin-Williams Company, confirmed that this will not affect
the results of the testing. All other paints and coatings were supplied free of charge by their
respective paint companies.
11
DSWA provided our team with a used sandblasted container for the graffiti resistance testing.
The current primer was applied to all four sides of the container. Then, each side of the
container was coated with one of the four painting methods:

Front Side - Current Painting Method

Back Side - Current Painting Method plus Anti-Graffiti Coating

Right Side - Top Two Coats of the Water-based Method

Left Side - Top Two Coats of the Solvent-based Method
Please refer to Appendixes A and B for the logistic details of paint application and testing.
Note: The position of each side is determined by the BFI truck driver’s vantage point just
before the container is lifted for content removal; therefore, the front side contains the
holes for users to deposit their recyclables.
Standard Practice for Determination of Graffiti Resistance (ASTM Standard D 6578 – 00) has
been used to make a practical testing procedure. Some elements of the standard have been
changed to facilitate a more efficient test for this project. For example, chemicals stronger than
citrus cleaners would not be acceptable to DSWA. Thus, the cleaning agent list has been
implemented with weaker cleaning methods.
The test consists of four steps:
1)
Creating a grid of graffiti marking materials on each side of the container.
12
2)
Cleaning graffiti markings with different cleaning agents.
3)
Recording the agents’ ability to clean each marking on particular container sides
using Graffiti Resistance Testing Chart provided in Appendix B.
4)
Repeating all the steps for re-clean ability.
Note: More details of this test can be found in Appendix B.
Paint Testing Results
The paint testing method described above was followed precisely. A template was created to
easily apply the graffiti. The engineering drawing of this “Graffiti Paint Template” can be found
in Appendix B. Results of the paint testing can be found in the figures below:

Paint Testing Discussion
As the results above portray, the new painting methods did not perform as expected. With the
exception of wax crayon graffiti, all methods matched the performance of the current painting
method. After discussing these results with DSWA, we concluded that the current painting
method was more efficient. We are disregarding the results from wax crayon since it is an
uncommon source for graffiti. Therefore, we chose current painting method since all four
methods performed exactly the same. Based on these results, a re-solvent test was not
conducted.
The new methods did not perform to the solvency standards. The manufacturer of the Solvent
and Water-based painting methods assured our team that power washing would remove all
graffiti from painted surfaces while the manufacturer of the Anti Graffiti Coating method
insisted that Xylene needed to be used in order to remove all markings. We believe that stronger
cleaning agents like Xylene would indeed remove all graffiti markings; however, DSWA does
not want to use stronger cleaning methods like Xylene because these stronger agents are not
biodegradable and are harmful to humans.

Overview of Costs
Summary of Paint Costs (Prototype and Production)
Current Method (2 Coats):
$373.90 per 8-yard container
Note: This cost reflects paint costs plus labor costs equal to $100 x (Number of Coats + 1).
There will be no savings with paint because the current paint method will be used for future
containers.
Summary of Lock-Bar Costs (Prototype and Production)
Current Manual Locking Mechanism:
Side Automatic Lock:
$55.00 per 8-yard container
$27.25 per 8-yard container
Total savings equal $27.75 for every new container. Due the automatic lock, labor costs
averaging $100.00 for repairing the lock would be eliminated. Additionally, the automatic side
lock decreases the time spent to empty each container. These savings are equivalent to receiving
seven new containers for every fifty containers purchased. This is explained more in detail in
Appendix E.
Summary of Container Costs
Current Container Cost:
Prototype Cost for New Container:
Production Cost for New Container:
$1000.00 per 8-yard container
$2200.00 per 8-yard container
$1300.00 per 8-yard container
Note: These costs include the price for steel, lids, and labor.
Total increase of cost due to new shape will be paid for through other cost savings.
Summary of Refurbishing Costs

Contingency Plan
As previously discussed with DSWA, there are two contingency plans that can be implemented
to improve the emptying characteristics of cardboard and newspaper. The plan for cardboard
includes removing the baffle and adding an articulated rear plate so that the entire top of the
container can open for the emptying process. The plan for newspaper includes opening up the
top angle to maximize frontal width of the orifice to prevent newspaper from binding. More
extreme plans involve articulating the sides of the container, but would involve significant
mechanistic difficulties. All of these plans are subject to further testing by DSWA.
TRANSITION PLAN
Paint
All paint samples have been delivered to DSWA for safe storage. Information sheets are
attached as appendices (H through J) for each of the paints, as well as the paint testing
procedures our team used. DSWA will either dispose of all paints or conduct future paint tests.
Design
The Three Dimensional Prototype design is shown in Appendix G. Auto-cad files of the design
as well as copies of this report will be given to DSWA. DSWA will refer to this information for
future contracts, especially if Fabricators Steel decides not to pursue additional recycling
container fabrication.
If the locking mechanisms are not replaced, the whole mechanism is subject to damage/failure.
All other repairs are standard to the current operating procedure.
Contingency Plans
All contingency plan ideas for fiber recycling will be given to DSWA. Additional testing is
needed based on the efficiency of container emptying.
Additional Meetings and Events
DSWA would like our team to make presentations to its Board, and they have also invited us to
the debut of a new Laird Campus recycling center. They also suggested that our team should
prepare a technical article to be used in a trade magazine. Our team has agreed to all of these
tasks. DSWA will contact us with all the necessary information we will need for each event.
Privacy Agreement
All members of our team signed the agreement during our first meeting on September 2, 2004,
and will continue to abide by it.

DISCUSSION
According to our results the following can be concluded: The stress analysis performed confirms
that the sleeves incorporated into our design are more structurally sound than previous sleeves
(Refer to Appendix K). This is due to the thicker sleeves (i.e. having a larger inertia) and more
internal supports yielding less deflection in the sleeves when impacted. As a result, the new
container has a lower refurbishing cost due to less structural repairs. Poly lids were used because
they are inexpensive and create less noise compared to steel lids.
Paint testing proved that the current painting method worked best. Graffiti resistance is still a
present issue for DSWA. Therefore, further paint options and testing should be considered.
The side-mounted automatic lock will save DSWA a lot of money. It saves the driver three
minutes per container. The team felt this was an exaggeration, and tested it for ourselves. We
found that the average time saved averaged 1.5 minutes per container. Estimating that one
container is emptied from each of the 144 sites per week yields a potential savings of over
$17,000 in employee wages (see Appendix E).
DSWA has shown an interest to the new shape our team designed. Depending upon an increase
in recycling, our new container will be used throughout Delaware as part of the Recycle
Delaware program. The first new site will be at Laird campus at the University of Delaware in
Newark, DE.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we successfully achieved our project goal. We created and tested a full-size
working prototype recycling container. The new recycling container was designed to emphasize
the “Reduce, Reuses, Recycle” recycling logo. As a result, the overall container attractiveness
and appearance was improved. In addition, new automatic locking mechanisms and redesigned
sleeves were incorporated into the new design, yielding a lower refurbishing cost that decreased
the container’s overall lifetime cost.
Our sponsor, DSWA, has been very receptive to the new container design. After viewing the
first prototype, DSWA immediately ordered five more containers to be used in the first newly
designed site located near Laird Campus in Newark, DE. Contingency plans described in our
report will be added to some of the new containers for fiber recyclables. Although our project
was successfully completed, DSWA will require our team to perform a few more tasks including
writing a technical paper for a trade magazine and give an additional presentation to DSWA’s
board.
Our team is very excited with how well the project turned out and we look forward to seeing our
design used for years to come.

Appendix B: Paint Test
After the container is coated with each painting method, it must remain outside for 14 days in
order for all of the paint to cure correctly. Once this is complete, fifteen 2-inch diameter circles
are drawn for each graffiti-marking material. They will be placed along an imaginary horizontal
line one-inch apart from each other on all four sides of the container. Additional rows of the test
circles will be placed 3 inches vertically apart from each other. Since there are 4 graffiti marking
materials, 4 rows of 15 test circles should be present on each side of the container. These 60
graffiti markings will create a grid for paint testing on each side of the container. The graffiti
marking materials are as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Permanent Solvent Based Ink Marker - Blue Permanent Marker
Solvent Based Spray Paint – Red
Wax Crayon – Blue or Black
Water Based Ink Marker – Black
After 24 hours, the container is ready for graffiti resistance testing. Five cleaning methods are
used on 3 of the 15 circles for each graffiti-marking material:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Clean sponge, covered in two layers, on a dry lint-free cotton cloth
City water at normal pressure
City water at high pressure, pressurized by a power washer
Clean sponge saturated in 1% biodegradable detergent aqueous solution
Clean sponge saturated in a biodegradable citrus cleaner aqueous solution
Approaches 1, 4, and 5 will involve rubbing across the test circle with 25 back and forth motions,
while approaches 2 and 3 will require direct spraying of the test circle for 30 seconds. (All 5
cleaning approaches will be performed in the order listed above.) The cleaning approach that
completely removes any markings from the test circle will be recorded on Table 1 (shown
below). For example, if city water at normal pressure is the first cleaner to fully remove graffiti
markings, the test paint will receive a “Level 2” rating for that specific graffiti marking material.
If no cleaner is successful at removing the graffiti, the test paint will receive a “Not Cleanable”
rating for that specific graffiti marking material. The ASTM standard classifies that markings
are “considered as completely removed if there is no visual evidence of residual material or
‘shadow,’” in the testing area. This judgment will be made by DSWA as to what is acceptable
and yields a lower chance of required re-painting.

For the test circles that are completely removed, graffiti marking materials should be reapplied,
and testing will commence again after 24 hours. (The procedures listed above will be repeated
for this test.) Additional notes were for each method to Figure 10 (shown above) to indicate the
each method’s ability to re-clean the containers. If time allows, a third cleaning test will be
administered to simulate three instances of container graffiti exposure.
Appendix C: Graffiti Paint Template
Appendix D: Summery of Paint Costs
Current Method (2 Coats):
Current Method and Anti-Graffiti Coating (3 Coats):
Solvent-based Method (3 Coats):
Water-based Method: (3 Coats):
$373.90 per 8-yard container
$491.26 per 8-yard container
$519.35 per 8-yard container
$547.56 per 8-yard container
Note: These costs reflect paint costs plus labor costs equal to $100 x (Number of Coats + 1).
For all cases, new painting methods are about one and a half times the price of the current
method. Thus, over the life span of the container, two re-paints must be saved by the new
coatings in order for the new painting methods to be economical.
The worst case scenario is to use the water-based painting method, which is about five times the
price of the current method. Thus, over the life span of the container, five re-paints must be
performed in order for the water-based painting method to be economical. Likewise, the solventbased painting and anti-graffiti coating methods would require four and two re-paints,
respectively, to be economical. However, these numbers are not practical. The results from the
paint testing convinced us that the current painting method worked the best.

Appendix E: Summary of Costs Saved from Locking Mechanism
Refurbishing Cost
Old $580 x 2
New $400 x 2
• Yields $360 savings
Production Cost
Old $1430
New $1700
• Yields $270 expense
--------------------------------------------------------$90 savings per container
Savings from Automatic-Lock
•
•
144 centers, minimum 1 container emptied from each center per week, charging
$100/hr yields a savings of $12,500 per year!
DSWA replaces 50 containers per year
• $1700
• ~15% containers paid for each year by savings alone
These calculations were verified by Pat Canzano at our last meeting. First, we assumed that the
savings was directed towards DSWA firsthand; however, when we brought this to attention at
our presentation we found that this may not be the case. It was never finalized, so we assumed
our first meeting with Pat had the correct analysis.

APPLICATION BULLETIN
APPLICATION PROCEDURES PERFORMANCE TIPS
Surface preparation must be completed as indicated.
Zinc Clad II HS comes in premeasured containers, which when
mixed provides ready-to-apply material.
Mixing Instructions:
Thoroughly agitate Binder, Part E. Using continuous air driven
agitation, slowly mix all of Zinc Dust, Part F, into all of Binder
Part E until mixture is completely uniform. Continue agitation
and add Hardener, Part D. After mixing, pour mixture through
30 mesh screen. Mixed material must be used within 8 hours.
Do not mix previously mixed material with new. No "Sweat-In"
period is required.
If reducer solvent is used, add only after components have
been thoroughly mixed.
Continuous agitation of mixture during application is required,
otherwise zinc dust will quickly settle out.
Apply paint at the recommended film thickness and spreading
rate as indicated below:
Recommended Spreading Rate per coat:
Wet mils: 4.0 - 8.0
Dry mils: 3.0 - 6.0
Coverage: 203 - 406 sq ft/gal approximate
Note: Brush application is for small areas only.
Application of coating above maximum or below minimum recommended
spreading rate may adversely affect coating performance.

Refer to the MSDS sheet before use.
Published technical data and instructions are subject to change

31
for additional technical data and instructions.
Clean spills and spatters immediately with Reducer #58,
R7K58. Clean hands and tools immediately after use with
Reducer #58, R7K58. Follow manufacturer's safety recommendations
when using any solvent.
Topcoating: Note minimum cure times at normal conditions before topcoating.
Longer drying periods are required if primer cannot be water mist sprayed
when humidity is low. Water misting may be required at humidities below
50%.
Occasionally topcoats will pinhole or delaminate from zinc-rich coatings.
This is usually due to poor ambient conditions or faulty application of topcoats.
This can be minimized by:
• Provide adequate ventilation and suitable application and substrate temperature.
• If pinholing develops during topcoating, apply a mist coat of the topcoat,
reduced up to 50%. Allow 10 minutes flash off and follow with a full coat.
An intermediate coat is recommended to provide uniform appearance of the
topcoat.
Stripe coat all crevices, welds, and sharp angles to prevent early failure in
these areas.
When using spray application, use a 50% overlap with each pass of the gun
to avoid holidays, bare areas, and pinholes. If necessary, cross spray at a
right angle.
Spreading rates are calculated on volume solids and do not include an application
loss factor due to surface profile, roughness or porosity of the surface,
skill and technique of the applicator, method of application, various
surface irregularities, material lost during mixing, spillage, overthinning, climatic
conditions, and excessive film build.
Excessive reduction of material can affect film build, appearance, and performance.
Do not mix previously catalyzed material with new.
Do not apply the material beyond recommended pot life.
In order to avoid blockage of spray equipment, clean equipment before use
or before periods of extended downtime with Reducer #58, R7K58.
Keep pressure pot at level of applicator to avoid blocking of fluid line due to
weight of material. Blow back coating in fluid line at intermittent shutdowns,
but continue agitation at pressure pot.
Application above recommended film thickness may result in mud cracking
and poor topcoat appearance.
During the early stages of drying, the coating is sensitive to rain, dew, high
humidity, and moisture condensation. If possible, plan painting schedules to
avoid these influences during the first 16-24 hours of curing.
Topcoats may be applied once 50 MEK double rubs are achieved. No zinc or
only slight traces should be visible. Coin hardness test can also be used.
Refer to Product Information sheet for additional performance characteristics
and properties.

Allow to weather a minimum of six months prior to coating.
Solvent Clean per SSPC-SP1. When weathering is not possible,
36
or the surface has been treated with chromates or silicates,
first Solvent Clean per SSPC-SP1 and apply a test patch.
Allow paint to dry at least one week before testing adhesion. If
adhesion is poor, brush blasting per SSPC-SP7 is necessary
to remove these treatments. Rusty galvanizing requires a minimum
of Hand Tool Cleaning per SSPC-SP2, prime the area
the same day as cleaned.
Previously Painted Surfaces
If in sound condition, clean the surface of all foreign material.
Smooth, hard or glossy coatings and surfaces should be dulled
by abrading the surface. Apply a test area, allowing paint to
dry one week before testing adhesion. If adhesion is poor, or if
this product attacks the previous finish, removal of the previous
coating may be necessary. If paint is peeling or badly weathered,
clean surface to sound substrate and treat as a new
surface as above.

suitable chemical means. Refer to ASTM D4260. Rinse thoroughly
to achieve a final pH between 6.0 and 10.0. Allow to
dry thoroughly prior to coating.
Old
Surface preparation is done in much the same manner as new
concrete, however, if the concrete is contaminated with oils,
grease, chemicals, etc., they must be removed by cleaning
with a strong detergent. Refer to ASTM D4258. Form release
agents, hardeners, etc. must be removed by sandblasting,
shotblasting, mechanical scarification, or suitable chemical
means. If surface deterioration presents an unacceptably rough
surface, Kem Cati-Coat HS Epoxy Filler/Sealer is recommended
to patch and resurface damaged concrete.
Fill all cracks, voids and bugholes with ArmorSeal Crack Filler.
Always follow the ASTM methods listed below:

Temperature: 55°F minimum, 100°F maximum
(air, surface, and material)
At least 5°F above dew point
Relative humidity: 85% maximum
Zinc rich coatings require direct contact between the zinc pigment
in the coating and the metal substrate for optimum performance.
Surface must be dry, free from oil, dirt, dust, mill
scale or other contaminants to ensure good adhesion.
Iron & Steel, atmospheric service:
Remove all oil and grease from surface by Solvent Cleaning
per SSPC-SP1. Minimum surface preparation is Commercial
Blast Cleaning per SSPC-SP6. For better performance, use
Near White Metal Blast Cleaning per SSPC-SP10. Blast clean
all surfaces using a sharp, angular abrasive for optimum surface
profile (1.5 mils). Prime any bare steel the same day as it
is cleaned or before flash rusting occurs.
Weathered Zinc-Rich Primer, atmospheric service:
Remove zinc salts by either high pressure water washing and
scrubbing with stiff bristle brush or sweep blast followed by
water flush. Allow to dry.
Note: If blast cleaning with steel media is used, an appropriate
amount of steel grit blast media may be incorporated into
the work mix to render a dense, angular 1.5 - 2.0 mil surface
profile. This method may result in improved adhesion and performance.

necessary, cross spray at a right angle.
Spreading rates are calculated on volume solids and do not
include an application loss factor due to surface profile, roughness
or porosity of the surface, skill and technique of the applicator,
method of application, various surface irregularities,
material lost during mixing, spillage, overthinning, climatic conditions,
and excessive film build.
No reduction of material is recommended as it can affect film
51
build, appearance, and adhesion.
Do not mix previously catalyzed material with new.
Do not apply the material beyond recommended pot life.
In order to avoid blockage of spray equipment, clean equipment
before use or before periods of extended downtime with
warm, soapy water.

the surface has been treated with chromates or silicates, first
Solvent Clean per SSPC-SP1 (recommended preparation is
Steam Cleaning) and apply a test patch. Allow paint to dry at
least one week before testing adhesion. If adhesion is poor,
brush blasting per SSPC-SP7 is necessary to remove these
treatments. Rusty galvanizing requires a minimum of Hand
Tool Cleaning per SSPC-SP2, prime the area the same day as
cleaned.
Previously Painted Surfaces
If in sound condition, clean the surface of all foreign material.
Smooth, hard or glossy coatings and surfaces should be dulled
by abrading the surface. Apply a test area, allowing paint to
dry one week before testing adhesion. If adhesion is poor, or if
this product attacks the previous finish, removal of the previous
coating may be necessary. If paint is peeling or badly weathered,
clean surface to sound substrate and treat as a new

to ensure adequate adhesion.
Iron & Steel
Remove all oil and grease from surface by Solvent Cleaning
per SSPC-SP1. Minimum surface preparation is Hand Tool
Cleaning per SSPC-SP2. For better performance, use Commercial
Blast Cleaning per SSPC-SP6. Blast clean all surfaces
using a sharp, angular abrasive for optimum surface profile (2
mils). Prime any bare steel the same day as it is cleaned or
before flash rusting occurs.
Aluminum
Remove all oil, grease, dirt, oxide and other foreign material
by Solvent Cleaning per SSPC-SP1. Primer required
Galvanized Steel
Allow to weather a minimum of six months prior to coating.
Solvent Clean per SSPC-SP1. When weathering is not possible,
or the surface has been treated with chromates or silicates,
first Solvent Clean per SSPC-SP1 and apply a test patch.
63
Allow paint to dry at least one week before testing adhesion. If
adhesion is poor, brush blasting per SSPC-SP7 is necessary
to remove these treatments. Rusty galvanizing requires a minimum
of Hand Tool Cleaning per SSPC-SP2, prime the area
the same day as cleaned.
Concrete and Masonry
For surface preparation, refer to SSPC-SP13/NACE 6. Surfaces
should be thoroughly clean and dry. Concrete and mortar
must be cured at least 28 days @ 75°F. Remove all loose
mortar and foreign material. Surface must be free of laitance,
concrete dust, dirt, form release agents, moisture curing membranes,
loose cement and hardeners. Fill bug holes, air pockets
and other voids with ArmorSeal Crack Filler. Weathered
masonry and soft or porous cement board must be brush
blasted or power tool cleaned to remove loosely adhering contamination
and to get to a hard, firm surface. Laitance must
be removed by etching with a 10% muriatic acid solution and
thoroughly neutralized with water.
Primer required. Brick must be allowed to weather for one
year prior to surface preparation and painting.
