Will,

We have around eight collection events between May and September with about 2000 cars.

In 2019 we started requiring residents to make an appointment. We ask for their city, twp or village during that call.

At the event, and this we’ve done for years, residents are supposed to show a driver’s license, state ID, tax bill or utility bill. We almost always get a DL.

For those situations you’ve described below, the out of town family member can bring a utility or tax bill. We haven’t had any issues beyond that.

As far as undocumented folks of those who may not have a current address, I don’t recall anyone who met that criteria.

Good luck!

Katharine

Subject: Proof of Residency

Hi Everyone,

As our program is expanding, we’ve been looking at requiring proof of in-county residency for 2021 (with a one-year phase-in). I was wondering if any other programs do anything like this and how they handle situations like:

• Out-of-county family members bringing materials on behalf of an in-county resident (like a relative) or estate
• Undocumented immigrants using the service
• People who do not have a permanent address (such as people living with relatives but technically homeless)

If you require proof of residency, I was also wondering what sort of documents that you accept.

Thank you so much,

Will Garcia
