We produce approximately 13.7285 tons per year. The City's Central Purchasing Dept. has a policy (unwritten) to purchase and distribute 100% recycled paper for all departmental copy machines. All educational brochures sent to residents are printed on recycling paper. In 1992, the City purchased 98% stationery and used it for letterhead. When we switched to laser printers. Often the letterhead smeared using recycling paper in the laser printer. In addition, using recycled content paper for letterhead was much more expensive than the regular priced paper. The City of Tamarac Purchasing Dept. reviews all materials to determine what the best rates are for paper items, including recycled content. We find that most recycled paper does cost 33% to 50% more than the regular paper.

The City of Tamarac might have the ability to assume the responsibility for direct mail campaign in 1998, however, that decision would be made during budgetary planning. Each year the City establishes priority of programs and projects to meet the needs of the citizens based on beneficial tax rate and revenues it receives. The City of Tamarac has strongly supported Broward County's and the City's recycling programs and will continue to do so. The elimination of direct mailings may negatively impact the City's tonnage rate in that educational brochures serve as reminders to residents to sort and properly handle the recycables, allowing for a lower contamination rate. The elimination of direct mailings may increase the contamination rate. ATTACHED ARE 3 TABLES FOR YOU TO COMPLETE (SAMPLES OF EACH COMPLETED ARE ALSO ATTACHED).

Is it successful? Why am I re uired to pay a recycling fee? appens after I recycle? answer your questions, we'd like to address each issue. Hp—w is Tamarac' rec cli ro am? Is ft successful? Yes, Tamarac's recycling program is successful. Currently, there 'are 14,424 single-family units and 12,724 multi -family units in Tama- rac. Tamarac residents overall recycle 8.04% of Broward County's total recycling tonnage. However, only 26% of the 14,424 single- family residents recycle curbside. This means that only 8,876 single-family residents are recycling with the additional multi -family units. Although, Tamarac's residents c ue to produce higher monthly hVng tonnage, we still do not all residential units irticipating. Remember, recycling in Tamarac is the law! One of the most helpful ways to increase residents recycling partici- patron is to remind and educate. Why am I re uired to pay a fee? The fee that residents pay covers only a portion of the funds required for the collection of recyclables by the contractor. Recycling requires different trucks and is separate from the garbage process. What happens after I recycle? After the recyclables are picked up from your curbside or multi- family location, the contractor (All Service Refuse) delivers the recycling materials to the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). Based on the Interlocal Agree- ment with Broward County and Tamarac and Agreement between the City and All Service Refuse, the materials are sold to the highest bidder. The City is paid a fee from the sale of recyclable materials which is split between the City and All Service Refuse (for collection processing fees). Recycling Funding Recycling funding for recycling services provides for the operations of the recycling program (education and marketing materials, printing, binding and mailing of brochures, flyers and updates), recycling bins for single-family and multi -family toters, minor equipment, computer software, and repairs (for City - owned recycling truck). How does recycling revenue affect me as a Tamarac resident? Recycling operations of approximately $300,000.00 enabled the City to maintain its current mill - age rate. For more information on recycling, please call the City of Tamarac Recycling Hotline at 724-2405. GARBAGE UPDATE The Agreement between the City of Tamarac and All Service Refuse Co., Inc., for Single -Family garbage ser- vice provides for a once -a -year in- crease that includes the Broward County disposal fee increase and the CPI increase.

"Carpet Cleaning" Thieves The Broward Sheriff's Office Economic Crimes Unit warns local residents that the Gypsies have returned to South Florida and they're using a new technique to gain entry into homes: posing as carpet cleaners giving free estimates. In recent days, several ederly condominium residents in the Tamarac area have been victimized by the smooth talking con -men. Typically, the two men will tell a resident that they are offering a 18 al deal on carpet cleaning and would be happy to do a free inspection of the home and provide an estimate for cleaning the rugs. One suspect keeps the homeowner busy talking while the other "inspects" the carpet, pocketing credit cards and other valuables in the process. In two cases at Tamarac's Bermuda Club Condo, 77 and 87 year old women, who live alone, were targeted. The two neighbors let the carpet inspectors into their homes and had no idea that they had been victimized until several days later when their credit card companies became alarmed at all the purchases being made. The women then discovered that their cards had been stolen. BSO Economic Crimes Unit Sergeant Ed Madge warns that Gypsies come to South Florida every winter and elderly residents are their prime targets. Their traditional scams involve shoddy roof coating and driveway sealing. They also talk their way into people's homes posing as electrical inspectors, drinking water testers, stranded motorists, and now, carpet cleaners. Residents are advised not to allow anyone into their home unless they have called the company and requested a service call. Suspicious persons should be reported immediately by calling 911. For more information, call Sergeant Ed Madge at 321-4255. District VII Community Council The District VII Community Council is looking for new mem- bers. The Council is organized under the auspicies of the Broward Sheriff s Office to foster interaction 0 open communication between dents, businesses and all community groups. The Council is comprised of bankers, educational leaders, busi- nessmen, homeowners association representatives and community ac- tivists who are interested in improv- ing police services in the commu- nity. Through training at the Sheriff s Citizen's Academy, Council ambas- sadors are going to community gath- erings to share the vital message that law enforcement is a part of, not apart from the community it serves. For more information of the Community Council, contact Sergeant Logan or Cheryl Lynch at 720-2225. CARDBOARD RECYCLING Corrugated Cardboard A cardboard box is just a box to most of us.

Many of our residents recycle on a regular basis. We thank you. However, Tamarac has received a report from the Broward County Office of Integrated Waste Management that indicates we have contaminated recycling loads! What does this mean to you as a resident? Recycling loads (a truck full of recycling material) are brought in to the recycling center by our contrac- tor, All Service Refuse -- All Service picks the materials up from you, our resident. If a load is contaminated, it spoils the entire load of items to be recycled. This may create a Ogre to the City of Tamarac, the contaminated load may be thrown away. Contamination of our recycling defeats our recycling pro- gram. How can I help as a resident? You can help by separating your recyclables as listed and keeping your garbage separate.

I ( SEWER LINES --City Blockage or Yours? qWe responsibilities, causes and pre- vention of sewer line blockages can be determined by following a few simple guidelines. Most residences in the City of Tamarac have only one pipe leav- ing their home discharging sewage into the City's Wastewater System. If several multiple plumbing fixtures (i.e. bath, sinks, laundry room) are not draining properly, your block- age is most likely located outside your house. Most customers are connected to the City Wastewater System with one of their neighbors. In that case, both you and your neighbor will be connected to the City Wastewater System on the op- posite side of where your water eter is located. This connection is rmally located on the property ne between both houses. If you have multiple plumbing fixtures blocked but your neighbor (as described above) is not blocked, then your blockage is located some- where outside ou home but prior to the City connection. In this case, the blockage is your responsibility and you need to contact a plumber. However, if you and your neighbor are both experiencing a sewer block- age at the same time, then the City connection between the two homes could be blocked. If this happens, please contact the City immediately. We will determine where the block- age is located —in private sewer lines or the City's system. Sewage blockages outside of the home are generally caused by tree is growing into the sewer line. most efficient method of repair Tor unwanted roots is to replace the section of damaged pipe with new pipe. if you have roots that cause blockages, consider relocating or removing the invasive tree or bush. Do not plant such trees as Bischofia, Toog, Australian Pine, Melaleuca, Punk Tree, Paperbark, Brazilian Pepper, Florida Holly and Downy Rose Myrtle, all of which have invasive root systems, near your sewer lines or the City's Wastewater System. If your plumber says that the City's manhole is filled to the top, ask him to check to see if a sewer =in man-h-Qlerain zgugrd i installed. As part of the Utilities pro- gram to reduce these inflows, rain guards are installed to prevent rain- water from leaking into the City's Wastewater System. The rain guards are shaped like a large plastic bowl and are located at the top of the manhole. These guards hold rainwa- ter that seeps around the edges of the metal lid. It makes the manhole appear to filled to the top. For more information, call Tamarac Utilities at 724-2525. - TELEPHONE BOOK RECYCLING PROGRAM February 19 - April 19,1996 The City of Tamarac encourages all residents to recycle their old telephone books.

TAM -A -GRAM 3 0 MILK CARTON AND DRINK BOX RECYCLING ou for recycling! -Tamarac residents recycle: ■ Corrugated cardboard U "Aluminum and bi-metal cans `0 "Newspapers & inserts " Plastics ■ Brown paper bags °v isMilk/juice cartons ,x� and drink boxes �� ■ Glass (clear, brown We encourage all Tamarac '-� or green) residents to join their neighbors and recycle. It's the law! Each month we will focus on a specific recyclable item to help you be familiar with the importance of recycling specific items. This month ill focus on milk carton and drink box recycling. "Gabletop" milk cartons and aseptic "drink boxes" are polycoated paper containers which are recycled into new paper prod- ucts. These packages have been col- lected for recycling in Florida re- cycling programs since 1992. There are nearly 1,500,000 households recycling milk carton and drink boxes in Florida's curbside recy- cling programs and over six million households nationwide! Both milk cartons and drink boxes are made of layers of polycoated paper, with a micro thin layer of aluminum in drink boxes. Since milk cartons and drink boxes are made of virtually the same ma- s, they are collected together recycled through a simple pa- r recycling process known as hydra pulping. Imagine a giant, two story tall kitchen blender. Add some water, bales of paper including these boxes, blend for about an hour and you have paper pulp. The paper pulp is then used to manufacture all kinds of tissue products and writing pa- per. And, since all the printing and graphics you see on milk and juice cartons and drink boxes are printed on the outer layer of polyethylene, which is removed in the process, the pulp does not -need to be deinked. There are several paper mills throughout the country which re- cycle polycoated paper milk carton and drink boxes including one in Augusta, Georgia and one in Hi- aleah, Florida. These two mills pur- chase all of the milk carton and drink box materials recycled in Florida. Aseptic drink boxes are among the most environmentally respon- sible packages on the market today. That's because they are a source re- duced package - that is, made from minimal materials from the start, creating less waste in the end. Asep- tic packages are typically only 4% packaging and 96% product by weight. The package is also energy efficient, using less energy to manu- facture, fill, ship and store than many other packages. And, its abil- ity to preserve beverages without refrigeration is a key factor in saving energy. Milk carton and drink box containers are a great example of "close the loop" recycling. They are purchased, used, recycled. re -manufactured and then reused again - right here in Florida! So, the next time you drink a box of juice or finish the last glass of milk from a carton, remember to rinse, flatten and recycle.

This month we will focus on steel or bi-metal cans. I Steel and bi-metal can recycling is AiWy a portion of the steel industry's rall recycling efforts. Annually, 'ons of tons of steel scrap from appliances, automobiles and other used steel products are melted to produce new steel. In fact, for the first time in several years, the over- all recycling rate increased from 66 percent to 68 percent in 1994. * Appliance recycling continues to grow. In 1994, 38 million appliances were recycled in the United States at a rate of 70.2 percent. * The more than 1.9 million tons of steel recovered through appliance recycling in 1994 would yield the -equivalent amount of steel needed to build 174 new stadiums the size of Cleveland's Jacobs Field. In 1994, the steel industry automobile recycling rate was 95.2 percent, meaning the industry recycled enough steel from old cars to produce almost 13 million new automobiles. Preserving Energy and Natural Besourceg... Recycling programs are established primarily to reduce the solid waste stream. Besides saving landfill space, recycling steel saves valuable energy and natural resources. * Each year, bi-metal steel recycling saves the energy equivalent to meet the electrical power needs of Los Angeles for more than eight years. * For every pound of bi-metal or steel recycled, 5450 BTU of energy are conserved, enough to light a 60-watt light bulb for more than 26 hours. * Every ton of bi-metal or steel recycled saves 2500 pounds of iron ore, 1000 pounds of coal and 40 pounds of limestone. Recysled, are Tomorrow's Steel Recycling is an integral part of the steelmaking process. In the last 50 years, more than 50 percent of the steel produced domestically has been recycled. Today, the two types of furnaces used by the steel industry require "old" steel to produce "new" steel. * Every time you buy something made of steel, you buy recycled. * Steel cans and other steel products produced domestically contain at least 25 percent recycled steel, with some containing nearly 100 percent recycled steel. Please, join the City of Tamarac and your neighbors and recycle. Remember, it's the law! RECYCLING CONTAMINATION Many _Tamarac resident ask: "Why do we separate certain items to be recycled?" You must place your cardboard, newspaper and brown paper bags together but separate from the other recyclable materials. All other materials may be placed together or "co -mingled". "Why can other items be co -mingled?" Because the recycling center separates them for you! Remember to keep garbage separate from your recycling materials. If you place any items in the recycling bin that are considered garbage and not part of the approved recycling materials listed above, these items are considered contaminants. "What happens if I contaminate the recycling container?" It spoils the entire load or bin of items to be recycled. "How can I help?" You can help by separating your recyclables as listed and keeping your garbage separate. You, the resident, play a major role in providing quality material to the recycler. Eliminating contaminaton depends on you. By increasing the quality of recycling material, we can ensure that the material will be suitable for use in the manufactur- ing of other products.
