8 Libraries’ Guide to the 2020 Census | JANUARY 2020 UPDATE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION + GEORGETOWN CENTER ON POVERTY AND INEQUALITY

What should I expect for the 2020 Census?

Option to respond online, by phone, or by mail

For the first time, the Census Bureau will promote online response as the preferred method. The Census Bureau’s mailing will include a Census ID code that the person responding for that household can enter to identify their address. However, if respon-dents don’t have a Census ID code, they can enter their home address instead.

For many people, the online response option will make it easier and more conve-nient to respond. However, other people may prefer not to respond online, such as those with limited internet proficiency or who lack reliable internet access. No one is required to respond online. If people choose not to respond online, they can respond by phone (see page 17) or by mail. Between April 8–16, the Census Bureau will mail a paper questionnaire to households that have not yet responded.

Household relationship question

For the first time, the 2020 Census offers a way for the person filling out the form to indicate a same-sex relationship with another household member.9 This change is expected to improve national statistics on same-sex couples.

Confidentiality

Responses to the 2020 Census are safe, secure and protected by federal law. Answers can only be used to produce anonymous statistics—they cannot be used against any person or household in any way. The law prohibits the Census Bureau from sharing personal census responses with any other government agency (at any level), court of law, or private entity or person (such as a landlord), for any purpose, including law or immigration enforce-ment and housing code enforcement. Any current or former Census Bureau employee who releases or shares personally identifiable data can go to prison for up to five years, pay a fine up to $250,000, or both.

Sex

The 2020 Census will ask the sex of each individual, with options for male or female. For transgender, non-binary, or gender nonconforming individuals, the National LGBTQ Taskforce recommends, “you can self-identify here in the way that feels most comfortable for you.” 10

Race and origin

The 2020 Census will ask two questions about race and origin. Accurate, detailed data are necessary to enforce civil rights protections, reveal disparate impacts of policies, and meet the needs of diverse communities.

IMPORTANT UPDATEThere will be NO question asking if a respondent is a U.S. citizen in the 2020 Census.

To learn more about the questions on the 2020 Census, view the sample questionnaire11 or the video guide.12

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH RECYCLING?

We've had a lot of questions about what is happening with recycling in Cache County lately! We want to confirm that, YES, we are stillproviding curbside recycling in Cache County! The graphic below shows what you can and can not recycle in your mixed recyclingcontainer. Recycling materials are taken to Mountain Fiber, a private recycling facility in Hyrum. From there, your recyclables are sortedby commodity and either used in an insulation manufacturing process (mostly paper products) or sold by Mountain Fiber on the openrecycling markets. The biggest challenge we have with our mixed recycling programs is contamination, meaning any item that is placed in your blue can thatshould not be there. This includes items such as plastic bags, Styrofoam, glass, drink cartons, any recyclables bagged in plastic andanything listed in the NO category in the graphic below. We hope you will take some time to refresh your understanding of what can berecycled in your blue can and remember, if in doubt, throw it out. Many of the blue recycling containers have a sticker under the lid that tells you what can be recycled. This sticker, unfortunately, is nowout of date. For those that need the reminder, we will make new stickers available at your City Office or at the Logan City EnvironmentalDepartment beginning in March! They will look like the graphic below and can be placed anywhere on the container. To ensure thelongest life span for your sticker, we recommend you put it under the lid.

Close the lid to your recycling container.

Wet paper and cardboard cannot be

recycled.

Don't bag your recycling.

Learn what can be recycled and only put

those items in your container.

Ask us questions! We are always more

than happy to answer questions about

what can be recycled, what happens to

your materials, etc.  Call us at 435-716-

9755.

TIPS ON AVOIDING

CONTAMINATION

TRANSFER STATION

GREEN WASTE DISPOSAL

LANDFILL MALL &

REUSE SHED

The reuse shed and landfill mall were created to helpreduce the amount of waste being sent to the landfill and tohazardous waste landfills.  Items found at the reuse shed are free for residents age 18and older to take (please sign the waiver located in theshed).  You can often find paint, stain, unused oil, yardproducts, and household cleaning supplies.  The landfill mall is a place for residents to dispose of itemsin good condition (with scale house approval) and forresidents to purchase items placed at this location. Mostitems are $5 each (lumber is $0.50 each) and you can oftenfind things like bicycles, wheelbarrows, lawn mowers,outside furniture, yard materials and more. It is hit andmiss, but a good place to look for items you might need!

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS

WASTE DISPOSAL

Car: antifreeze, tires, gasoline, motor oil, transmission fluid, carbatteries, brake fluids, and other fuels. House: batteries (all kinds), bleach, household cleaning supplies,fluorescent light bulbs, thermostats, paint, paint thinner, stain,lacquer, and spray paints.  Yard: insecticides, pesticides, fungicides (liquid and solid), pool andspa chemicals, propane cylinders, bug sprays, garden and lawnchemicals.Tech: computers, computer monitors, air conditioning units,refrigerators, televisions, AC unitsAnything with a caution label on it (dangerous, corrosive, flammable,explosive, etc).

Hazardous waste is found everywhere in homes and are often thingsthat people dispose of on a regular basis.  This includes items such as:  

 Household hazardous waste requires special handling and should notbe placed in any of your curbside waste containers or dumpsters.  Mostitems are free to dispose of properly at the hazardous waste facilitywith the exception of refrigeration units or anything containing Freonor tires.  There is a $30 fee for air conditioning & refrigeration units.Tire fees range from $2-$100+ per tire depending on size.

Sharps are accepted for FREE from residential customers. Check in at the scale house and they will direct you to the sharps bin.Sharps are accepted from businesses for a fee. Residents are encouraged to dispose of prescription drugs in one of the many convenient drop sites in Cache Count. This willprotect the water supply and keep dangerous medication out of the hands of those who may misuse them. The list of drop sitelocations is below.

CARDBOARD DROP SITES

YES! We still have a cardboard recycling dropsite. Cardboard used to be aconsistently valuable commodity. Over the past several years, as with most recycling,the markets have dropped for cardboard. Because of this, we had to make the difficultdecision to eliminate all of the free cardboard drop sites except for the one at thetransfer station. This does not mean cardboard is not recyclable. It means that we aremaking the changes necessary to keep providing recycling opportunities to ourresidents without subsidizing recycling with other programs/rates. We providecardboard recycling for businesses that are willing to pay for the hauling andmarketing cost of recycling cardboard. Currently, Mountain Fiber charges us $5/tonfor cardboard we deliver to them.

TIPS FOR SEAMLESS GARBAGE AND

RECYCLING COLLECTION!

Have your containers at the curb by 7:00 am on your collection day. This is the time our collection teambegins their day.

The  front of your container should face the street  when your can is on the curb for collection.  On windydays, if your container is at risk of blowing over, you can turn the container 90 degrees to either side sothat the lid is not facing the wind.

Containers must be 4 feet away from each other and other objects  such as mailboxes, telephone poles,trees, and vehicles. 

Please DO NOT dispose of hazardous waste items in your containers. This includes things such as CRTtelevisions, motor oil, car batteries, paint, or other hazardous/flammable waste in your containers. 

Please do  NOT  allow your waste containers to sit out on the street for longer than 24 hours before andafter your collection day. During snowy weather, moving your cans from the street as soon as possible willhelp our snow plow drivers.
