CC: Community Development Director ATTESTED Catherine Kutsuri., CDD PHIL BATCHELOR.CLERK OF THE BOARD OF County Administrator SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR M3e2 110 Bei BY— DEPUTY J � BACKGROUND: On September 25, 1990 the Board of Supervisors created a Task Force on Compost and asked the Task Force as their fiist task, to review and comment on Acme Landfill Corporation's Pilot Composting Program, which is required by the conditions of ap.,•roval for the Transfer Station. Vte Task Force on Compost has completed their review of Acme's proposed Composting Program, as is contained in the attached eocument, and are recommending its approval by the Board of Supervisors. On February 25, 1991, our Committee met with staff and Robert t Cro-ther, Chair of the Task Force on Compost, who briefly reviewed the proposal submitted by Acme_. The one major item which is missing at this time is the cost to Acme of implementing the composting program and the potential income which can be generated from the program. This will determine the eventual cost to the consumer. Weare asking that the Task Force review the proposed project costs with Acme at their next meeting and then report to our Committee on these costs, at least for the imp'amentation of phase one -of the program. One of the principal requirements for a successful composting program is a source of high quality .yard wastes to use in the composting program. It was noted at our meeting that the Agri-Post operation in Dade County, Florida has had to shut down their operations because they were unable to obtain a sufficient quantity of "clean" material. The material they were using had too much heavy metal in the mix. As a result, we think it is important that Community Development Department staff meet early on with the solid waste collection companies to insure that we are able to obtain a high quality of yard wastes at the most economical cost possible. Meetings with the collection companies are already being set up to discuss curbside collection of various plastics. These meetings can be broadened out to include the need for curbside collection of separated yard wastes.

The project will use yard debris (including yard clippings, leaves, tree trimmings, prunings, brush, and weeds) received at Acme's interim transfer station to create a high-quality compost product. The project will provide a. unique opportunity for Contra Costa County and participating municipalities to compost collectively and to move toward compliance with tl :ambitious recycling goals of AB 939.. It will also provide data and valuable experience for future composting operations in the County.. The com-�ost demonstration will be developed in three, distinct phases. Phase One is designed to use, '.o the extent possible, existing equipment at Acme.. Phase Two will increase pro:zessing capability by purchasing additional equipment, and increasing staffing. Phase Three furhe: increases processing capability by extending the hours of operation to include a second shift. Phase One will process about 20 tons per day, Phase Two about SO tons per day, and Phast Three about 100 tons per day. Phase Two includes a backyard composting demonstration garden. with examples of backyard composting technologies. educational exhibits, punts and ;iowe:s g:p�n to compost produced by the project. a greenhouse heated by landfill gas. and a place for residents to ick up Acme's compost. There is no set schedule for im lementin:: each P P _ phase. The shift from one phase to the next depends on ecuipment capability and oycrating experience. Two other important factors will be hauler panicipation, and availability of compost mari;ccs. Acme plans to avail itself to comtr_tent technical consultants and available local expenis. in the planning, design. and operation of the project. Project costs, once approved by the County, would be incorporated into the rate-,setting process for the interim transfer station. The total capital cost for all three phases is estimated at S Operations and maintenance cost based on one year of operation for each phase are S for Phase One. S for Phase Two, and S for Phase Three. ONra tions and maintenance costs increase as the incoming volume of material incrciscs. i i Oix rations will be€in as soon as possible after approval by the County Board of Superyisors and by other regulatory agencies. The demonstration project will operate until the opening of the permanent wasterecoveryand transfer station. At that time a full-scale composting operation is envisioned with processing operations performed at the permanent station site, and composting to remain at the East Parcel location.

To fulfill this requirement, Acme proposes to develop a'composting demonstration project on its 97-acre East Parcel landfill by using yard debris currently hauled for dispo,al out of the County. Operations will be- ill as soon as possible after approval by the County Board of Supervisors and other regulatory agencies. It will operate until the opening of the permanent waste recovery and transfer station.(Mid 1992). At that time a full-scale composting operation is envisioned with sizing and screening performed a: the permanent station site. 1.1 Objectives Tre objectives of.the compost demonstration project are: • To generate operational, economic, and environmental data on municipal yard debris composting • To increase public education on and awareness of the benerits of composting • To assess markets for the several possible composts and bey-pro6ucts of a full!-scale operation and to deYelop markets for these products • To develoa composition data for yard debris received at the transfer station Po _ • To provide a unique opportunity for the Coumy and participau.n.g municip:Jiues to compost on a collective basis to comply with the ambitious recvc11n2 goals of AB 9._,9. ' 1._ The lnterrated Waste martagernent ,pct of 1989 The California Inte272--ted Wase, ,N1LanaE!emen1 Act of 1989 (AB 939) regtiirL-s a comprehensive reorganization of California's waste management process. E-1ch city, ac each count\- fo- its un.n.orpo-,ted arca. must t,rc;�arc. ::dop;. ani: implement a Source 1 t Element of the new County Integrated Waste Management Plan. This element will identify how jurisdictions will divert 25 percent (b)' 1995) and 50 percent (b), 2000) of the solid waste stream from landfills throwgh source reduction, recycling, and composting as mandated by AB 939. ComWsting yard debris will be a major factor in these efforts.- Because there arc no op.:rating composting programs of significant size in the County at this time, an Acme project will become a major resource for the central County. 1.3 The Compost Process Composting is a waste management technique that uses the natural biological decomposition of organic materials to reduce waste volume (up to 5 to 1) and to produce a usable end-product. Compostingmethods can be applied to diverse :;zaterials. including vegetative debris, sewage sludE!c, and mixed municipal waste. Cur—ent AB 939 regulations define yard as '•a:i\- wastes generated from the maintenance or altcrauon of public. 'commercial or residcnt:zl landscapes including but not limited to, yard clippings, leaves. tree trimmings, prunings, brush. I# and weeds." Acme's composting demon:tration project will focus on yard debris that are easily separable from the solid waste stream. Several metho.Is are used to compos: yard debris. Th-2 simples: mctho"-;s pile organic mate:;.".s a;d let them dc'composc for 1 to 2 years. To reduce the period of decomposition, mo!-,- sophisticated, o-esophisticated•methods concentrate materials in elongated piles (windrows), monitor and adjust the tzmperaturc and moisture content, and aerate the windrows using specially designed machinery. Reducing decomposing time depends on appropriate carbon to nitrogen ratio, proper moisture levels, and frequent turning to provide sufficient aeration. Generally, proper windrow composting car,. result in a final product in 16 to 24 w•eels. 1.4 acme's Interim 'Transfer Station Acme curTent!ly operates an interim transfer station on its landfillT�ro nv located 4 miles e--sc--s-,P _ of Martinez.

The plrman,a, .7OE, 900155 i2 /26/90 1 waste recovery and transfer station is proposed to begin operations by July 1992. Since start-up, the interim station has received an average of 940 tons of mixed municipal waste per day, on a seven day per week basis. Refuse traffic enters the Acme facility using the access road off Waterbird Way. Prior to reaching the scale and pay-booth facilities, users may use a recycling center for their newspaper, cardboard, glass, aluminum cans, magazines and plastics. After the scale and pay-booth facilities, vehicles pass wood, yard debris,.and concrete s;,.;vage yards where loads rich in these materials are unloaded. Currently wood and yard debris are periodically crushed using a track- mounted vehicle and shipped off-site to be chipped and later sold as wood waste boiler fuel. The concrete is used for roads, pads, and drainage areas c:.. the Acrric site. After passing the salva`e yards vehicles proceed to the transfer station for further unloading. The waste is inspected for hazardous and recyclable materials, crushed, loaded into transfer vehicles and hauled out of county. , 1.5 Yard Debris at the Transfer Station In the summer of 1990 a preliminary waste composition analysis conducted at Acme dtter.nined irlat about 19 percent of the waste received, or ISO tons per day (tpd) consists of yarc debris. Ah;•oui:h the maionty of this material arrives in mixed municipal loads, some doges a=.Ve in ci:a.•t easily segregated loads. 1.6 Seasonality of Ward Debris Generation Northern California emovs a year-round growing season. Incoming yard debris is co^s•..antly generated, with a peak in the fall as deciduous trees lose their leaves. In winter. most varc debris comprises woody prunings from fruit trees and ornamental shrubs. The holid. season bnns s an influx of discarded Christmas trees, which are often segreL-ated from cor:%ostinc operations or composted separately: due to their high acid content: Spring and summer months bnn, a varied yard debns mixture, including cut grass, shrubben, prunings, tree branc:es. ane harden residue. ,.. . 9001 . is � `� ��•n N• _ C SEC* ION 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The compost demonstration will be developed in three distinct phases.

SECTION 5.0 PROJECT MANAGEMENT 5.1 . Monitoring, and Evaluation A compost mass must be constantly monitored to achieve maximum effectiveness and to prevent adverse biological conditions from developing. Acme proposes to monitor,its windrows daily for temperature and moisture levels. The compost will also be tested periodically for nutrient availability, carbon/nitrogen ratio, conductivity, total organic content, micronutrients, physical substrate, pH, and final stability. Heavy metal contamination analysis will also be undertaken. 5,2 Public Education and Promotion Public education andromotion are important of any v,,aste managgy, ement strate , P Po parts _ _ �. especiall} composting. An effective public education and promotion campaign «•ill help.ensurL, low contamination rates, high participation, and successful market development. As part of the demonstration protect. a public education and promotion program \vtll be czv; ioD,ec. Public education efforts m2v include ads in local nz'VS Dacus and nurseries, and ti\-e:s included «•i:h the bag distributionP rogram to targeted residcnts within the demonstration 2re2s. 5.3 Backyard Composting Demonstration A backyard composting demonstration garden (see Appendix C) will be provided as pan of the. demonstration project and will show residents backyard composting technology, the fundamentals of the biological process. and the inherent soil-building and water-retention qualities of compost. The detailed planning required for the warden will be done during Phase One. a • , aJO90115 . 12/26/90 ;-1 5.4 Regulatory Issues Because it is an addition to an existing solid %vaste facility, the compost project will not require new permits from regulatory agencies. However, State, regional, and local agencies will review and may require modification of existing Acme permits. These agencies include the Regional Water Quality Board, the California Integrated Waste Management Board, the Bay Area Air . Quality Management District, and the County Health Services Department which serves as the Local Enforcement Agency. The project's location on a landfill,presents many positive benefits. The site is well buffered from residential areas because of its remote location. There is more than sufficient land available for the future full-scale project. The staff, scale house, and capability to handle substantial truck traffic already exist. Also, haulers and residents are familiar with the site's location. One identified concern is leachate and surface runoff management. Very little information exists on ILzchate and/or surface runoff from composting leaf and/or Ward debris piles. If properly' � designed and operated, these facilities should not produce leachate. From field observations at several compost sites BVA believes that very little water from rain percolates through piles to � creates leachate. Most moisture is either absorbed by the pile, runs down the side of the pile. or noxs in the aisies between 'plies. y dirt berm. 1 to ' feet high will be placed around the � inc:oma arc: to intercept eater before it runs onto the compost pile. T ne C ;tfornla Inlec-ated Waste Nlanagement Board has expressed concern about the quantity and cuaiity of wzt,,: .lhich may enter the landfill. Acme is planning to develop test areas as aar-, of the protect., Tac test areas will be capable of evaluating both the euantity and quality or cosh surface and subsur:ace wastewater flows. The demonstration rill provide information on both Of these issues.

Am' surface water runoff or leachate within the windrow will be channeled to the lower end of the windrow and collected in a portable tank. Collected water will be analyzed before being reused in the windrows, used for dust control, or discharged to the sewer' The windrows will be managed in such a way that water inputs are carefully monitored to fit water requirements and to prevent any excessive leachate generation. S.$ Water Sources and Conservation The use of compost as a soil conditioner is a well-documented form of water conservation. Unfortunately, making compost is fairly water consumptive. Acme currently has access to potable water from the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) at the landfill. Potable water from the CCWD will be the primary source of water during the demonstration Acme is also located near sources of raw water from the CCWD canal, and reclaimed water from t^e joint CC"'D and Central Contra Cosa Sanitar}- District reclaimed water project. Uses of these water sources will be.explored during the demonstration project. � r � t SECTION 6.0 ® MARKET DEVELOPMENT �I 6.1 Market Assessment The proposed demonstration program will contain a market assessment and product use demonstration component. The market assessment will evaluate those factors that can assist Acme in determining the best approach for marketing or using the compost as landfill closure material, as a mulch on municipal projects, or as an erosion control medium. These include size and potential demand by the public and private sectors for compost or amended compost products. It will evaluate the seasonality of demand, transportation requirements, potential for competition of altemative composts, potential revenue for various products, and cost of transportation. The identification of appropriate end uses and assured markets during Phase One will be instrumental in designing the production details of ensuing phases. Product use at the backyard composting demonstration garden \ •ill illustrate the types of products .:-.at can be produced and serve to stimulate public interest in buying the product. Market develo ment will uire on- oinlaboratory anaJvsis of the produced.p rN� on-going _ compost po p In this Way the constituent makeup of the compost can be matched with potential markets Wed the com:%ost blended to meet market s%. cificanons. �. 6 '_ R , Compostln� Kesearch Projects Rescarcn is a neCessary aspect o, any demonstration proiect. Acme has budgeted for and to conduct a number of research projects to test various other organic materials as of ta, composting program. 1~sii\, di'vcr,rc \\antes will be targeted for research projects tr.:_: could lead to inclusion of these. for %eveiopment"in the later phases of the project. Projects may include com!,ostin^ C:.r; ..,:;:.., t::.�. l cr,Uln� Sh 1r0111 Pki\\'Cr pl:lillS ;ni 0121MI: portions of construction and demolition debris (e.g., shectrock), and composting food wastes, mixed waste paper, or sewage sludge along with yard debris. Any and all blending performed by. Acme will be done on-site. Any material to be blended or composted will be subject to laborato. ` as well as regulatory analysis and approval, and to markets specifications. Research 7 _ ry PP Pc monies will also be used to try different compost processes and develop products for different markets. JOE: 90015Y 12/26/90 F_� 1 ' APPENDIX A TECHNICAL ASSUMPTI01S AND INFOR IATION The following assumptions were made in planning the compost project. While these assumptions are sound, they are subject to change based on availability of compostable material, operating experience, regulatory requirements or other unforseen details. I. Wheel loader The Project will use an Acme-owned CAT 950 B Wheel Loader with.a new 5 cubic yard bucket. It is ,ssumed that the loadcr will-be available, on averaec, 7/8 of the time with the other 1/8 required for maintenance, refueling and other non-productive uses. Because of this 7/S availability factor the wheel loader will be available 7 hours of each 8 hour shift. It is assumed that on average each bucket load activity will require 3 to 5 minutes to complete. Some activities such as loading trucks can be done more rapidly, whereas others such as reforminc windrows will be slower. Additional time will be required to go from activity to activity and emergency situations will arise which can decrease efficient loader operation. Based on the above assumption. the loader can perform 84 cycles per eight hour shift (using the more consci-ative 5 m.nutes per cycie), or the loader can move approximately 420 cubic yards of ' material per day. The wheel loader will perform the following functions during each work day: 1. Move incoming yard debris from unloading area within reach of the tub grinder's grapple. 2. Move processed yard debris from the.tub grinder outfeed to windrow area and build windrow. Potentially a roll-off or dump truck could perform this function. but would require an additional operator. Costs for these options will be evaluated during Phase One of the demonstration. I Break down piles periodically for adding moisture and reformin, windrows.. This activity likely will occur once every 3 weeks: piles will be composting for a 4 to 6-month period. JOB: 90015}: 12/26/90 4. Break down piles after 4 to 6 months of composting to move to storage. 5. Feeding the compost to a screen hopper. 6. Moving the screened compost to storage. 7. Loading the screened compost onto trucks. The volume at each step will be different, as will the weight due to processing steps such as grinding, water addit',on, etc., and volatile solids loss during composting. The following is an 1= g attempt to normalize the volumes as a fraction of the initial function i.e. moving yard debris to thegrinder: Processing Step Volume Wetleht (cubic yards) (,Nounds) 1 1.0 10.0 0.72(]) 400 3 1.26(2) 1:00(2) 0.18(2) 200(=) 5 0.18 X00 6 0.18 200 , % 0.18 20.0 Totes: S.SS -,G ti No:cs: 1} Based on shredded, mixed, vard debris. 2) Based on ayeraE!e decomposition of yard debris multiplied by 7 piles (, 18 ' 7 = 1.26) and (-'DO ` 7 = ] *o). For each ton of vard debris processed per day, 5 cubic ands of incoming material need to be processed or a total of 19.5 cubic yards total need to be moved by the wheel loader. Tbus a load:r could handle approximately 21 tons of },ard debris per day. 2. Tub Grinder The project is currently evaluating 2 manufacturers of tub grinders. For the purposes of analysis ' the project assumes using an RSI tub grinder with a grapple arm feeder. A grinder with a grapple feed is recommended to allow the operator to separate contaminates from.the yard debris prior to placement in the grinder. The material will be cleaner since the grapple will put less soil into the grinder, and lastly the grapple will free the wheel loader and operator to perform ' other tasks. Loading the gra)der with the loader would require a dedicated machine since this operation requires constant attention. Based on experience elsewhere, an availability factor of 75 percent for the grinder is assumed. The downtime is a combination of unclogging the screens below the hammers, unwinding vines or long thin branches from rotors, removing hammers, replacing hammers, and othe, mechanical problems. The tub grinder is rated for 30 tons per hour when fed wood waste; it is much slower and more difficult to grind Yard debris due to its low density. . A factor of 50 percent is applied to the 30 tons per hour rated capacity to account for this. Therefore, in an eight hour day the grinder can process approximately 96 tons of material. At an input bulk density' of 400 pounds per cubic Yard, 480 cubic yards of materiaj could be processed per eight hour shift. 3. \Fater Truck The Project will use an Acme-ow-ned 4000 gallon water truck to add water initially to. the :ncomtng yard debris as it is placed in a windrow and then seven times during the life of the compost cycle. To calculate water requirements it is assumed.that the eater content will be ' approximately 40 percent each time water is needed (i.e., if monitoring shows a wa(er-content of 40 percent, the piles will be watered to increase moisture levels to 60 percent). Thus,the initial pile of 21 tons will be 8.4 tons of water and 12.6 tons of solids at 40 percent moisture. An additional 10.5 tons of water (21;000 pounds) will need to be added to bring moisture content up to 60 percent. The other seven turnings would require a total of 77,000 pounds of water. The decreased demand is due to biodegradation during the compost cycle. Thus a total of 21,000 plus 77,000 pounds, or 98,000 pounds of water would be required. The 4000 gallon ' water truck contains 32,000 pounds of water. Thus slightly over three trucks of water per day JOE: 90015): 12/26/90 A-3 • .' R h w c ' would be required for Phase One. Phase Two increases production by a factor of 2.G, which multiplies to 254,800 pounds of water. Using the above assumptions, (2:6 multiplied by 3 trips ' per day equals 7.8) Phase Two will require approximately 8 trips per day. Phase Three would 1. require twice the amount of water in Phase Two, approximately 509,600 pounds of water or 16 trips in two eight hour shifts. 4. Screen For the purposes of analysis it is assumed that a Read Screen-All Model RD-90B will be used, although smaller models and other manufacturers will be tested durinb Phase One and Two. , Based on experience elsewhere, an availabil'-.y factor of 60 percent is assigned to the screen. The 40 percent downtime is caused by hopper bridging, screen cleaning and other miscellaneous [ ' tasks. The rated capacity of the Model RD-90B screen is 50 - 60 cubic yards p_-: hour with the E compost-Iike materials at 60 percent solids. (`Fetter materials screen slower, whereas dric: ' materials screen faster but can cause dust problems). A 21 ton per day compost facility will produce roughly 20 cubic yards of compost per day. Screening will be accomplished in batch 1 process rather than on a daily basis. Acme will investigate screening the material both during and after windrowing. Screening the material both prior to and after windrowing will increase the utilization of the screen to approximately 40 to 50 percent. , Sumrnary bas.,c o.. this :,.it;a; analysis in PeasOne. the s�ngic wheel loader K-iil be the i.minnr :actor. This A ill limit project throughput to 21 tons of yard debris per dad. aa G Phase T-xo will be desi^ncd to incrersc the throughput of the other pieces of eauiomea: were being under used in the !';.ase Dro_ra„i. Either an tdenticaJ CAT ?50 B Wh-cl Load- With a five cubic yard bucke, •.t iii rt' purcrased. ,,,r a larger loader capable of handling nine cubic yards "-III be pure;ased. The use of a similar sized loader would more than double the system capacity since each loader ' could do specific jobs, less travel time will be required and the job cycle time can be decreased from five minutes per cycle to four minutes per cycle. f=ifteen cycles per hour per loader or 210 cycles per eight hour shift will be accomplished (assuming 7/8 availability factor).. This is equivalent to moving 1050 cubic yards of material per day. The combination of two 950 B loaders with 5 cubic yard buckets can handle 54 tons of yard debris per day. The addition of the second loader will therefore increase efficiency by a factor of almost 2.6. The demand on . all other pieces of equipment Would be 2.6 as great as .:n Phase One. In order to process all 54 tons of incoming yard debris the grinder would have tu handle 216 cubic yards of incoming yard debris. This is within the capability of the tub grinder. The water truck would have to male eight trips per day or one cycle per hour. This should be within the capability of the truck. The screen would have to process 52 cubic yards per day which is within its capacity,. As shown in Phase Two the addition of the second loader will make the water truck the limitinE factor. Addition of any additional loaders will not necessarily decrease cycle time any further but would require the addition of a second water truck. The preferred option for Phase.Three would be to extend the hours of process operation. This would give a linear increase in tnrou_hput With no additional capital expenditures. The increased costs wotild'be a cor,7`;ir.�tion of increased operations and maintenance costs. together xith an increased depreciation on the capital equipment and potentially increased down time as pans Will wear out faster than with a 1 single shift operation. tOB: 9 0 0 1 sx, 12/26/90 A-5 • APPENDIX B rEQUIP,NIENT TO BE PURCIIASED Tub Grinder The Project planners are currently considering two similar tub grinders. The first, the RSI Tub Grinder was recommended because it is a heavy duty industrial machine t jilt to handle a heterogeneous mixture of municipal yard debris: Unlike smaller grinders, the RSI was built for 1 municipal yard,or wood waste, and is not merely a scaled •up farm machine. The machine is less likely to be prone to high maintenance and down time costs associated with other tub 1 Grinders. This machine is capable of handling more than the projected 100 tots per day, and 1 will likely be pan of the full scaie composting operation. An attached knuckleboom grapple %4-111 allow one person to operate the loading and processing operations. The second tub rrinder is the Fuei iiarvestc- wash :;e: alsoPPS ui with � ' a grapple arm feeder. The WHO is also aheavy-duty machine built specifically for processing mood or yard debris. «I10 grinders are used by the majority of composting operations in Northem Caiifomia and are successfully demonstrated in other states as well. Although manufactured in Colorado. Fuel Haryestor maintains a pans warehouse and maintenance 1 personnel in California. ' The final purchasing decision µ-ill be made considering rated throughput, availability of pans and service. financial arran_2ements and demonstrated ability. Screen Plant ' The project will evaluate and test different available screen plants during Phase One. Two of the screens to be tested include a Rover Is-lark I1, and a Read Screen-all. The Rover Screen is a heavy-duty screening system capable of separating large volumes of compost into various sizes. ' �70R: 90015>: 12/26/50 B-1 The Read Screen All is also a heavy duty screen more than capable of processing chipped yard debris. Windrow Turner The Project will evaluate and test several models of windrow turning devices, including a Scarab. Acme is interested, in testing a turning mechanism that could be pushed or pulled behind, or alongside one of its vehicles. Several different-models are shown in the followii:g, literature. , Wheel Loader , Acme currently owns a Cat 950 B loader with a 3 yard bucket. A five yard, light du;%• buc},..,-,. ' will be purchased for Phase One. Phase Two will require the purchase of a second µ•heel loader, which will be equipped with a larger bucket. Consideration will be given to the p-_,rchase of a larger loader in an effort to increase overall.efficiency. r M—r 7y rM Wt 3L Mill • 15M 1 10 MI Of a NO 1, INO TOR WHO Ira: non Nt" I 4�? ., •yr w1 h..��a �. ..+ ..�. •sr": �.e+ rk R11C.t.:a16 rJ.l• Iht y.I!:t j �.•�'�C` as 'Iw•;�wf_a.. �.� �7 fYmn ` c �.-L-�{'��'� (4+ •' t�•i:.'�11174.t �!'''�C tr,1.. �Y N •�xilfir:l7�Rwi.`�'a•- sF �t.� � A'.i64 s � .,: �a,-:- ?'a�" f=}i� •:`�� %�,'y''x�► 'c�,��� 'C• •� S- �;e,; � s�_-"� `SlS�►'Ts�''�il'�,,tjii��tr,-,,'y �� •rs. �' •FUF. @^' t'isT.'ia�Gy�':?�/.��;��•�t^i Ai.�j�.+1��•is•J.�7_'�°�::��..4�7 �►•�i!�fitwQl7!�p'/•s+� 4 • • ^7=;"f•sia��"i,�;��t}��,�X �k�it';:cr�:'",�N�t,2""r eft+. .. �!.�A•�..i -:« +•'r vw'y`'.J�..a\a3 iti;:►?i► t.' e.�'Xi'.` �-ti:..-�_•V�."\'[r�r,-•,��-. • ,< : .r�Y�{?��► Yr7•J/7'•ii.j•�rw- w-f c.�. �,,j���•1 f�� :� +• • • 'r�.�jYT1�i , Gr•-•�'� •:r-7�•- �a r•.\� ��^aa:• _ •.i ��'. ate`' 1,41 N • • s '} 'sZ�..• t -i?

APPENDIX C A BACKYARD COMPOSTING DEMONSTRATION GARDEN AT ACME FILI, Back-yard composting is an integral part of any effort to divert yard debris from disposal facilities. In an effort to increase participation, many municipalities across the country have developed backyard composting demonstration sites. These range in size and scope from simple self-guided walks to sophisticated gardening and composting centers that become infor'.tatioit clearinghouses for a variety of programs and ideas. A demonstration site has been proposed at Acme to serve several functions. As a demonstr--tion site, it would show how Count}, residents could compost in their backyards: as a demonstration garden, it would explain the beneficial uses of both backyard and municipally produced yard debris compost. Planted !lowers and other plants would show how compost works. Th w v The folio tno` exhibits \\•til be evaluated for inclusion to the demonstration garden.

These included the Cities of Berkeley, Davis, Modesto, Palo Alto, Sacramento, and San Jose. The following is a description of each of the programs as surveyed in the Fall of 1990. Table D-1 summarizes several basic parameters of each program so that O the programs maybe compared. City of Berkeley The Citv of Berkeley currently operates a pilot curbside composting operation. involving about 10 percent of Berke)--v residents. Yard debris is collected at curbside and brought to a processing site run by a private company. About one third of the material is °round up and sold directly to a private hog fuel company. Currently the remaining two thirds is ground in a Fuel Harvester \ATO tub grinder and is then windrowed. The processor has developed a marketing strategy, though they have not produced a finished compost at'this time. Their volume is about IS tons per, h0::7. operating 6 hours a day 5 days a weck. Cite of Davis The Cite of Davis currently provides curbside yard debris collection using the curbside 'claw•' system. The material is collected and processed by a private processor using a Fuel Harvester ' WHO tub grinder. Brush is used as mulch, and leaves are w•indrow•ed and allowed to decompose for six weeks.. Some of the compost is sold to a local compost vendor, some is given to residents. and the remainder is used by the City's Public Works Depannim.. The program collects approximately.350 tons per month. JcH: 90015i: 12 /26/90 D-1 � t Ln J t ci Lr, V 4 x C r 1 City of Modesto .. The City of Modesto collects brush. and leaves during leaf season (November to January) using the Curbside 'claw' system and packer trucks. The brush is chipped and sent to a nearby waste to energy plant. The leaves arc composted using a very simple windrow method. All of the compost material is used within the Public Works Department. City of Palo Alto The City of Palo Alto bean curbside collection of yard debris in July of 1990. This proogram p is particularly relevant to the Acme project because the City provides Kraft bags to the residents t i h curbside me f the wase collected arc added directly to the o use n the c bs a collection. So o wastes o ted c. windrows while others are ground Fuel Harvester WHO tub grinder. The projected volume is about -300 tons per month. 1-he material is currently stockpiled to be used as landfill coyer or being used by the public works department. The City has employed a consultant to su2sest other uses and markets. City of Sacramento The largest of the programs reyicwed. the City of Sacramento is currently undergoing major expansion piannin; for their composting operation. Currently the City provides collection using the curbside 'claw' system. This program collects about 60.000 to 70,000 wet tons of leaves, of v,-hich they can only process about one twelfth. Compost is -round using a WHO tub grinder and windrowed. The product is currently sold at the landfill at S12 per yard, the rest is used for in-house public works projects. The expansion plans currently foresee a 40 acre site using a I2eesund screw auger to process the material. The material will be turned using a 'King of fthe Windrow* turning machine. The City has already trademarked their final product with the State of California and plans to market it through a broker-and to sell to lame sand and s:raycl operations. Thev project producing about 150.000 cubic vards annually. JOB: 50015Y 12/26/90 D-3 City of San Jose The City recently completed a curbside collection pilot program x+•hich collected leaves using the curbside 'claw' system. The material is hauled to a private landfill company which processes the material in a RSI tub grinder and then places it in windrows. During the pilot the program processed 250 - 300 tons per month. All of the compost was sold under contract, to the City at a price of S8 per yard. The City is in the process of soliciting proposals for a much larger operation which may be run by the same private landfill company. City wide collection is slated for April of 1991. 6. oA Contra TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS R t.

BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS On August 14 and November 6j 1990, the Board approved actions implementing the recommendations of the Plastics Task Force to divert disposal of post-consumer mixed rigid plastics from landfills under the Board's purview. , Previous Board Orders directed county staff to conduct an RFP/RFQ p--ocess to obtain a contractor who would handle the collection and a.arketing of diverted plastics. The Plastics Task Force accepted its subcommittee recommendation not to pursue such a contract. This recommendation resulted from the costs associated with such a contract and the ability of collectors to find their own markets. In response to the efforts of the Board and of the Plastics Task Force, many collectors and curbside recycling programs throughout th county have already implemented collection of PET and clear HDPE. Pilot programs for collection of colored HDPE have also begun in certain areas. At the request of the Plastics Task Force, C)unty staff met on March 21, 1991, with collectors, haulers, and landfill operators to review a timetable for the diversion and to discuss a community awareness .program. The participants were prepared to hold further meetings to help develop and assist'with the community awareness program/campaign.

Cost savings resulting from reduced garbage collection fees, revenues from marketed materials, and shredding operations for other• departments will help defray program costs. BACKGROUNDJREASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS This Trainee Program fully implemented the County Government Recycling Center Program launched by the Board on June 4, 1991. The County Government Recycling Center carries out the Board directive from June, 1990, to expand the County Government recycling program. The Environmental Affairs Committee of the Board supported the inter-departmental coordination and the focus on a multi-material recovery effort, as initially outlined in the Recycling Action Plan. Previously, the County Government recycling program included only white paper. Presently, the expanded multi-material recycling program is serving County buildings located in downtown Martinez, the Douglas Drive . area, supervisorial •offices, and the Central Service office in Concord. Collection of cardboard from Merrithew Hospital and the West County Detention Facility is also included. The County Government Recycling Center is operated by General Services Department staff; custodial staff collect the materials. Sheriff's Department Work Alternative assignees and Social Service Department Work Program clients sort materials and operate the baling equipment.

Those meetings resulted in the development of a multi-materials recycling program and training curriculum which was launched in Ohlone Elementary School in the Richmond School District and in Pleasant Hill Elementary in the Mt. Diablo School District. During the 1991 The materials designated for recycling included paper, aluminum cans, cardboard, polystyrene food trays, milk cartons, and juice boxes. With the assistance and participation of the Richmond Sanitary District, Pleasant Hill Bayshore, Concord Disposal and the Aseptic Packaging Council schools were provided the recycling 1 curriculum, appropriate materials for recycling were identified, Green Team T-shirts were provided to students, and 18 schools were included in the program. Those 18 schools diverted enough solid waste, through implementation of the County's Schools Recycling Program. to save over 100 cubic Yards of landfill space. [The saved landfill space was calculated on the basis of tonnages shown in the evaluation prepared by GAMBLE & Associates and factored by , the compaction rate for those tonnage when disposed in a landfill.] Currently, all 18 schools in last years program are continuing the recycling programs into the 1991-92 school year. Additionally, both new schools and new waste haulers are joining in the schools recycling program for this year. The entire San Ramon Valley Unified School District is starting the program district-wide in all of its 23 schools as of October 1. 1991 and Valley Waste Management will be working with this school district on implementation. Four more schools in the Orinda/Moraga area will implement the program this year. And, both Richmond Sanitary and Pleasant Hill Bayshore will be working with additional schools which they serve. The attached -report summarizes the program evaluation conducted by Gamble & Associates. The evaluation .shows that the schools recycling program is an effective means of diverting solid waste from landfills. The program can also be considered cost-effective for' the schools involved based upon reduced solid waste collection costs. The cost effectiveness for waste haulers needs continuing review; collection costs incurred by haulers are directly related to the volumes of materials collected and existing market prices for the materials. Based upon the continuing and increased participation of schools and school districts, the County's Schools Recycling Program can be considered to successfully be ,teaching our children the fourth R--RECYCLE.

Key Findings • Both schools will experience significant savings in 1991/92 as neither hauler plans to pass the costs onto the school. It may be important for the individual sc'Jools to see the savings of the recycling to maximize participation/enthusiasm long term.. • If the hauler were to charge the schools the cost of recycling: Pleasant Hill would still show a meaningful savings for the school. Ohlone would show a small incremental cost. This traces to 1) lower recycling participation rates at Ohlone and, 2) the cost of the incremental cardboard recycling service that RSS provides. Importantly, if Ohlone can achieve a 30% reduction in garbage service through greater participation, the school would show a . savings even after RSS covered costs. 19 September 9 Udlw Pr_nmd on Rwyc:sd FVa . 1990M Contra Costa County-Model School Recycling Pro am IV.

These resins include PET, HDPE, expanded polystyrene, and polyethylene film (LDPE film) . Under the AB 939 Integrated Waste Management Act, all cities and counties in California must develop programs to divert from landfills 25% of the wastestream by 1995 and 50% of the wastestream by 2000. Each city and county must prepare and submit Source _ Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) which identify the programs the jurisdiction will implement to reach the mandated diversions.. The programs must identify waste types targeted for diversion such as paper, plastics, metals, and so forth. Following approval of a jurisdiction's SRRE, an annual report on attainment of diversions must be made to the California Integ- ated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) . The SRRE's and required annual reporting provide a mechanism by which jurisdictions in Contra Costa County may target diversion of plastics as well as a regular reporting of such diversion programs. Consequently, a County Ordinance requiring diversion of plastics can readily be implemented and reported upon using the AB' 939 SRRE and reporting requirements. The prop..sed Ordinance attempts to avoid duplication of effort by using the AB 939 requirements. Similarly, future ordinances requiring the diversion of other waste types from the landfill can utilize the same AB 939 requirements. Programs already exist in almost all cities throughout Contra Costa County which divert from the wastestream tin, aluminum, glass, paper, cardboard. Additionally, most jurisdictions are proposing diversion programs for yard waste and wood waste. Review and comment on the proposed plastics diversion ordinance , will assist with preparation of the ordinance and any future such ordinances. LA:gms a:Upa�ban-mau.ho ORDINANCE NO. 92- 105 MATERIALS DIVERSION ORDINANCE (Recycling Requirements for Landfill Disposal) The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County ordains as follows (omitting the parenthetical footnotes from the official text of the enacted or amended provisions of the County Ordinance Code): ti SECTION 1. SUMMARY. This ordinance adds chapter 418-10 to the County Ordinance Code, to require public agencies to meet minimum resource recovery requirements in order to dispose of solid waste in landfills located in the unincorporated area of this County. SECTION IL BACKGROUND, FINDINGS. The Board of Supervisors finds and declares as follows: (a) The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Pub. Res. Code, § 40000 et seq . hereafter "Act") was adopted by the State Legislature as the state's comprehensive program for solid waste management to respond to the urgent situation resulting from the amount of solid waste generated in the state coupled with diminishing landfill space and potential adverse environmental impacts from landfill disposal. (Pub. Res. Code, § 40000.) (b) The Act calls for local agencies, as subdivisions of the state, to make adequate provision for solid waste handling, both within their respective jurisdictions and in response to regional needs consistent with the policies, standards and requirements of the Act and regulations adopted pursuant to the Act. (Pub. Res. Code, § 40003.) Nova dm 12.1992 (c) The Act calls for the state and local agencies to institute an aggressive new integrated waste management program, and mandates that all cities and counties reduce o o the amount of solid waste disposed at landfills by 25% by the year 1995, and 50% by the year 2000, through the preparation and implementation of city and county source reduction and recycling elements of a countywide integrated waste management plan. � r (d) As a first step in this process, cities and counties were required to conduct waste generation studies, identifying the waste, by category, that is in the waste stream. y Based upon the data obtained from such studies, the Act requires cities and counties to identify diversion alternatives or programs for the waste types and annually report on the results of these programs to the California Integrated Waste Management Board. (e) In Contra Costa County, the critical shortage of landfill space made it imperative that at least one new landfill be approved and developed. Although landfill siting and approval are not matters within the exclusive domain of the board, it has.been . and continues to be evident that there would be no viable proposal for the development of a landfill within the boundaries of an incorporated city. In order to preserve, protect and provide for the health, welfare and sanitation of all county residents, the board undertook the task of approving the establishment of two new landfills as recommended in the County Solid Waste Management Plan. The County $olid Waste Management Plan was adopted pursuant to the provisions of former Government Code title 7.3 (f 66700 st seq.), which provisions were repealed and replaced by the Act. (f) While landfills continue to be vital to the preservation of public health, sanitation and welfare, most people do not want to live in the vicinity of a landfill. ORDINANCE NO. 92- 105 %Pvwb► 12.1992 '2- Further, the development of a landfill, wherever located, requires.the land to be dedicated to a use generally incompatible with uses preferred by others (such as residential or commercial development, preservation of native habitats, etc:). Therefore, there is always opposition to a landfill proposal, and the process of considering and approving the Keller Canyon and Marsh Canyon Landfill applications has been a difficult, grueling and unwelcome task for the board. Further, legal uncertainties may prevent the full use of said landfills' permitted capacities. (g) Therefore, the board, more than ever, recognizes the value of preserving our landfill capacity as well as our other limited natural resources, and consequently embraces and support the goals and purposes of the Act. In fact, the conditions of approval for both the Killer Canyon and Marsh Canyon Landfills prohibit the acceptance of waste from communities which do not have in operation a curbside pick-up or equivalent recycling program approved by the board. (h) In May of 1989, the Plastics Committee of the Solid Waste Commission submitted to the board a report on plastics in the waste stream. The report included recommendations on strategies for reducing plastics in the waste stream, including plastics recovery and recycling for all municipal curbside recycling.programs (to include PET, HDPE, LDPE, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene), extraction of waste plastics at all transfer stations, and the phasing out,of the.manufacture of plastics if the goals established by the Plastics Committee were not met. In response to the report of the Plastics Committee, the board established the Contra Costa County Plastics RecyclingTask Force, to stud issues relative to landfill Y r ..ORDINANCE N0. 92- 105 Nvvwnbw 12.1992 -3- disposal of plastics, and recycling alternatives to such disposal. The Plastics Task Force has recommended that the board adopt and implement an ordinance requiring municipalities to implement curbside recycling and other diversion programs for specified plastics. (i) Due to a combination of all of the above factors, the board finds that the adoption of this ordinance is in furtherance of the public health, sanitation and welfare, and the environment. SECTION 111. Chapter 418-10 is added to the County Ordinance Code, to read: 1� CHAPTER 418-10 s RECYCLING REQUIREMENTS FOR LANDFILL DISPOSAL Article 418-10.2 Purposes 418-10.202 Purposes.

The preliminary evaluation of the aseptic package, using the Recyclability Evaluation Index, resulted in a low numerical value--47 (see Attachment #2) . A low numerical value, under the methodology of the Index, implies that the aseptic ' package is among those items which are more recyclable. Because staff would like to be able to use the. Recyclability Index for analysis of other material types in addition to plastic resins and beca•.se concerns still exist regarding methods of incorporating environmental concerns into the Index' methodology, staff is recommending authorization to obtain input from others with expertise" in solid waste, recycling, economics, and environmental issues.

Background Charge of the Plastics Recycling Task Force The charge of the Plastics Recycling Task Force, stated in its first meeting in September 1989, was to explore methods and pri;grams for recycling and reuse of waste plastics, and to determine the extent to which it is possible and practical to remove plastic containers, packaging and products from the wastestream. Committees were established to address these issues. They included the Markets Committee, Plan Implementation Committee, and the Ad Hoc Polystyrene Committee. II. Purpose of the Plastic Resin Evaluation Index In response to a Board Order dated November 6, 1990, the co-chairs of the Plastics , Recycling Task Force appointed an Plastic Resin Recyclability Evaluation Subcommittee to develop a "list of the different types of plastic and plastic materials on a sliding scale from easiest to recycle to most difficult to recycle." The members of the Subcommittee are: Dr. Mari Jose h p h iotti, Chair . John LaFountain, President, Bay Polymer " David Tani, Solid Waste Committee Chair, Sierra Club Becky Dowdakin, klanager, City of El Cerrito Recycling Center Richard Gamble, Council for Solid Waste Solutions The purpose of the Plastic Resin.E`°aluation Index is to develop a method to objectivelN° analyze and quantify the degree of recyclability of plastics. It is based on the need ti)r members of the Board of Supervisors to make rational decisions based cxi an 1 e understanding of the technical issues involved, while avoiding actions based on vague perceptions and sentiments. The Index should be reviewed at least semi-annually, or when any action is considered. Diversion of specific resins from disposal in landfills has now been adopted by the Board to encourage communities to recycle plastics for which there are markets. Categories of Recyclable Plastic Resins The Plastic Resin Recyclability Evaluation Index lists ten categories of plastics for evaluation of their recyclability. They include the six major resins as defined by the Society of Plastics Industry, which are PET, HDPE, LDPE, PS, PVC, PP and "all others". Three of the plastic resins have been epanded, namely HDPE into rigid and film; LDPE into rigid and film; and polystyrene and expanded polystyrene. Only a few representative packagings of each resin type have been named. The last plastic resin, indicated as "Code 7 Plastics" by the Society of the Plastics ' Industry, addresses all other resins and layered multi-materials. They include multi- layered plastic resin such as ketchup squeeze t.3ttles and other barrier plastic food containers. Not included are products or packages that contain lesser amounts of plastic, but are - primarily constructed of material other than plastics, e.g. aseptic packages, juice boxes, milk cartons and other polycoated paper. Also,not included are the special problem products that are. partially fabricated with plastic and usually not packages, such as diapers. Because these last two types of materials do contain plastic resin; a majority of the subcommittee members decided that they should be included in the Index. However, the Task Force determined that the Index was primarily intended to address plastic resins and therefore these materials are not included. III. Environmental and Other Concerns It is important to note that recycling is not the only factor in determining the relative value of one type of packaging material versus another. Other factors considered by the Subcommittee addressed very important criteria which are not directly related to recyclability. 1. Source reduction - amount, mixture and weight of packaging; excessive Spackaging. Z. Reuse - can package be reused or refilled? How_often? 1 3. Cost and environmental concerns of substitute materials. a. l--cedstotk availability - is raw material limited? R S. Recycled content of packaging material. 6. Litter potential. 7. Hazardous by-products of recycling and manufacturing process. , 8. Public acceptability. 9. Can the recycled material be manufactured into the same product? 10. Toxicity. , IV. Approach/Method In determining the ranking of plastic resins, five major criwria are addressed. Rec clabilit Criteria Y Y A. Market availability. B. Market economics. C. Collection convenience. D. Consumer Convenience. , E. Processing capability. Market availability and market economics are the most important of the evaluation ' criteria, as without markets and economic viability, limited recycling can occur. Each criterion uses one or more components. The lower the total Index number for each material, the greater the ease of recycling and the lesser chance of ending up in the wastestream/landfill. The higher numbers indicate the greatest difficulty in recycling the material. Weighting Factors Each criteria was given the following weighting factor: ' A. Market availability - 40% B. Market economics - 30% , C. Collection convenience - 10% D. Consumer convenience - 10% E. Processing capability - 107 The weighting factor has been incorporated into the numerical values given to each criteria. V. Definitions of Index Criteria: Criterion A. Market Availability: Provides overview of the price history for the last two years. Is there an available market for the material? Without a market, there is no ability to recycle. Component 0 Demand for material 4 - Present and expanding 8 - Present and consistent 12 - Declining or emerging 16 - No market Component • Market price stability 4 - Rising 8 - Stable 12 - Volatile 16 - Consistently minimal Criterion B. Market Economics: Economics is the second most important criteria in determining the degree of recyclability of material in Contra Costa County. The net revenue of recycling has been divided into two factors focusing on costs. All figures are to be expressed in dollars per ton. N = fR+a-(C+P) G ' 'N = Net cost or profit per ton to recycle materials ex reused in P P Y ( P percentage of the cost of ordinary garbage collection and disposal). R = Revenue from sale of material toP rocessor or end user. a = Avoided costs. Any payment a recycling entity receives for , diversion of the material from conventional garbage collection and disposal. C = Collection costs. P = Post-collection or other pre-processing costs incurred before sale of the material. . G = Garbage collection costs. Cost per ton for conventional garbaoe collection and disposal in the community. ' 0 - 0% or less (i.e. a profit) F - < 100% 12 -.100% t o 149% IS - 150`"o to 199'"a 24 - > 200 '0 Criterion C. Collection Convenience: This means level of recycling opportunity. Factors to consider are (1) number of collection modes available (pickup or buyback/drop off) and (2) population served in sub-region. Component • Recycling opportunity ' 2 - 2 modes > 50% of population 4 - 2 modes in < 25% to 50% of population 6 - 1 mode in > 25% of population 8 - 1 mode < 25% of population or no modes Criterion D. Consumer Convenience: This includes ease of identification and the effort required to remove contaminants from the material collected (.:s opposed to the handling during processing). Performed by the consum-r. Component • Ease of identification 1 - Identifiable by use, such as a milk jug, bag, etc. ' 2 - Coded 1-7 3 - By resin characteristics 4 - Difficult to identify Component 0 Effort needed to remove contaminants 1 - Minimum , 2 - Low 3 - Medium 4 - High ' Criterion E. Processing Capability: This addresses the ease of processing the material ' at the processing plant. Component • Resin use in manufacturing of package. , 1 - Single resin 2 - Multiple resin (parts) 3 - A4ulti-laver or laminant ' 4 - Mixed with non-plastic materials Component • Processing technology I - Existing 2 - Developing ' 3 - Complex 4 Non-existent 5 ' VI. Volume Factor Finally, the subcommittee recommends that the volume of plastics and other materials in Municipal Solid Waste, be considered when evaluating recyclability. Information addressing the volume of each plastic, or other material, in the wastestream and the volume presently diverted is needed. It should then be added to the formula. There is information available on the weight (not volume) of the material in the waste stream in the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County. This information is available in the Waste Generation Study for Contra Costa County, April 1991. VII. Applicability Elsewhere The Plastic Recyclability Evaluation Subcommittee feels that this index may apply to materials other than plastic resins.

LDPE, in rigid form, is used to manufacture plastic bottle caps, margarine tub 1 lids, and dishwashing detergent bottles. In many cases the various plastic film types are indistinguishable to the public. While the Society of Plastics Industries' coding system ' is aimed at identifying the various plastics, few plastic film products/containers are actually labelled. The symbol for LDPE, number 4, is commonly found only on grocery and dry cleaning bags. Other uses of plastic film--garbage bags, pallet wrap, department store bags--are not labelled. ' Re-use of the plastic film faces some problems. First, it is difficult to find markets for the plastic. Second, current prices are around $.01 (one cent) per pound when the markets are buying. Third, as noted t above, many of the bags are not labelled with the identifying plastic resin symbol/number. Fourth, because consumers cannot/do not distinguish between the different types of plastic, LDPE is often contaminated when consumers return HDPE bags. ' For recycling programs to work they must be easy to implement, convenient for the participants, and economical. Several grocery store and drug store chains have established programs to recycle LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE plastic bags and pallet wrap. Customers may return their used plastic bags to participating stores and place them in recycling containers. Pallet wrap is collected from shipments. The collected plastics are then returned by each store to the central ' warehouse where it is baled for marketing. Additionally, some stores are now limiting or reducing the use of plastics by re-introducing paper bags, selling re-usable material bags, or encouraging customers to re-use bags they already have. The chart below shows the status of recycling plastics and re- introducing paper bags in grocery/drug stores: ' STORE LDPE HDPE PALLET WRAP PAPER BAGS Frys/SaveMart X Luckys X X X Safeway X X X Nob Hill ' Petrini's ' Longs X Payless Thrifty While the large grocery/drug store chains have company policies and central warehouses for collecting/baling, dry cleaners .are largely ' independent operations. However, the dry cleaning industry is also beginning to address the need for plastics recycling. Apple Plastics, a large Los Angeles manufacturer of dry cleaning bags, collects the bags back from its distributors. The distributors provide.. ' bins and liners to their dry cleaners and collect these when they are full. The plastic is returned to Apple Plastics and reprocessed into new bags. Also, at the dry cleaners California Fabricare Institute Annual Conference this past August, active participation in plastics ' recovery was scheduled for discussion. Return. of LDPE bags by consumers to local stores is clearly convenient for participants. Working with stores throughout the County will Recycling of LDPE (Polyethylene film) Page Three ' expand already existing collection programs and is more easily implemented than attempting to develop a different collection system. To assure that these collection programs continue and can be expanded requires them to remain economically viable. To be economically viable, ' the collected materials must be relatively free of contamination, including free of other plastics types. Public education about the various types of plastics and action by the State to encourage the use of only one resin type in specified products, such as grocery bags, is , important in reducing contamination. On September 19, 1991, the Plastics Task Force reviewed this report and concurred with the approach outlined in the recommendations. , LA:se r2:lc'.pe.bo ' 1 3 APPENDIX B WASTE CHARACTERIZATION STUDY N
