Acceptance Rules

Acceptance rules define which materials are allowed at specific locations, within bins, or through particular programs. Ridright uses these rules to ensure materials are only directed to valid and appropriate disposal options.

Material Acceptance

For each location, bin, or program, you can define:

• Which materials are accepted

• Materials that are restricted or excluded

• Program-specific acceptance (e.g., paint, batteries, electronics)

This ensures materials are routed only to options that can properly handle them.

Program & Facility Alignment

Acceptance rules can be configured to reflect:

• Facility capabilities and limitations

• Program-specific requirements (HHW, special collections, etc.)

• Differences between drop-off and curbside services

This keeps guidance aligned with how services actually operate.

Jurisdiction & Eligibility Rules

You can also define access and eligibility, including:

• Residency requirements (city, county, or district)

• Service area restrictions

• Event-based or scheduled programs

This prevents residents from being directed to locations they cannot use.

Bins & Collection Systems

Acceptance rules extend to curbside systems:

• Define what materials are accepted in each bin or stream

• Adjust acceptance by jurisdiction or hauler

• Reflect differences in single-stream, dual-stream, or specialized programs

This ensures accurate, location-specific curbside guidance.

Real-Time Control

All acceptance rules can be:

• Updated at any time

• Applied instantly across all jurisdictions and experiences

• Managed centrally or overridden locally where needed
