PROJECT TITLE 0 The Northwest Broward Recycling Program II. PROJECT SPONSORS City of Coconut Creek City of Lauderhill City of Margate City of North Lauderdale City of Tamarac III. CONTACT Steve Magee, City Manager City of Coconut Creek 4800 West Copans Road Coconut Creek, Florida 33063 (305) 973-6720 IV. PROJECT OVERVIEW The proposed Northwest Broward Recycling Program is a joint coordinated effort by five (5) cities in northwest Broward County including Coconut Creek, Lauderhill, Margate, North Lauderdale and Tamarac. The area wide recycling program was authorized and approved by resolutions of all five City Councils/Commissions. The program is divided into 3 phases. Phase I will be concentrated on curb side pick-up of newspaper at single family homes. Phase II will expand the curb side recycling program to include aluminum and glass materials in the single family area. Phase III will expand the multiple material recycling program to the multi -family and condominium developments. Planning for the curb -side recycling project was initiated in December, 1988. Because of the nature of the existing operation and arrangement' for the solid waste disposal services of the 5 Cities, contracting is the selected alternative for operating the recycling program. With this in mind, a request for proposals was issued in May, 1989. Southern Sanitation, Inc. was selected for the proposed project by . the recycling committee consisting of administrative representatives of the 5 Cities. EXHIBIT A Page 1 of 5 Currently, the recycling committee is negotiating a contract with Southern Sanitation. We anticipate that the contract will be executed in September, 1989. The Northwest Broward Recycling Program will commence in October, 1989. V. OPERATION/STRATEGY The proposed second year program will continue the curb side newspaper pick-up of 36,000 single family units located in the 5 northwestern municipalities of Broward Country. The program covers approximately 50% of the total population of the Northwest Cities. The program will be operated by contracting and administered by a recycling committee consisting of administrative representatives from each of the five (5) Cities. Initially, the recyclables will be picked up on a weekly basis on the same day as the trash pick up. This schedule appears to be the easiest and most convenient for residents since they only need to remember one collection day. However, the schedule may be adjusted, if necessary.. Recycling vehicles are used to collect the newspaper and deliver to collection center. As discussed in our • first year proposal, recycling vehicles are equipped with movable and adjustable partitions for future program expansion for multiple material recycling. Public participation is a crucial aspect of any recycling program. Since the public will be responsible for separating and bundling of the newspapers, a well thought out public relations program will be designed and implemented. Details of the promotional program are described in the education and promotion section. Financial incentives will be considered to promote participation. The northwest cities are committed to comply with the goals and objecti-:-s of the state's Solid Waste Management Act. Our recycling program will be continued after the completion of grant funding. As such, continuous evaluation of the program will be essential. Economic assessments will also be made for long term financial planning of the program. EXHIBIT A Page 2 of 5 VI. EDUCATIONAL/STRATEGY ft -Io -a Public Awareness of this program is of particular importance in promoting participation. Recycling informational programs will be targeted toward about 50% of the population in the 5 Northwest Cities. The program will continue to ensure that the collection effort is clear and easy for residents to understand. The program will use town meeting, commercial advertisements, public service announcements, newsletter, handouts, bumper stickers, ana other promotional items to publicize the program. A constant effort of advertisement and promotion to encourage more participation will continue through the second year program. Special mailings such as recycling newsletters, opinion surveys and promotional literature will be seat out to the customers monthly. Participation in street fairs and work crowds at festivals will be used as a reminder to the residents. Our educational program will coincide with the county wide program coordinated by Broward County Office of Environmental Services. Educational programs such as presentations to schools, businesses and homeowners associations will also be considered to promote the community recycling efforts. VII. ;MATERIAL RECOVERY ESTIMATE AND DISPOSITION Using the curb side recycling data of several pilot Drograms perfcrmed i- Broward County and data collected by other similar programs through out the nation, we anticipate that average households will generate about 401bs. of newcnaner per month. Using an average participation ratio of 50;, the recyclable materials are estimated to be 4,300 tons for the second year of operation. Based on an`annual solid waste generation rate of 64,300 tons. We anticipate that the second year program will, reduce the wastestrea-i 1-7 about 77. The material will be delivered to a local processing center selected by the contractor and the recycling committee based on the Sale? �f the materials and the cost for delivery.

PROGRAM IMPACT During Phase I of the project we will focus on collection of newspaper. Using available data we project that each household will generate approximately 40 lbs. of newspaper per month. We anticipate a 50% participation rate in the 5 Northwest Cities. Thus generating approximately 4300 tons of paper. Based on an annual solid waste generation of 64,J00 tons for the 5 Cities area, this second year program is anticipated to reduce the wastestream by 7.6%. EXHIBIT B Page I of 2 VII.
