Significant Progress!
 Effective collaboration by a strong group of town,
hauler, private & non-profit representatives
 Reached several preliminary conclusions in short time:
 To purse single-stream MRF capabilities
 To accept expand drop-site collection
 To evaluate PAYT pricing/expanded SFU recycling
 Long-term – expand organics diversion, drop site
functions & MFU PAYT pricing/recycling

“Most” Common Ground
 Ultimate goal = county ordinance for “urbanized” areas w/ subsequent



review for adoption by Towns
Application to all residential users with tiered/phased approach
 First - SFUs w/ individual carts (PAYT $$ & recycling for all)
 Eventually - SFUs w/ shared containers & MFUs (exemptions for
space & existing contracts?)
 Annual quantity trash & recycling data reporting required for all
32 gal base size for trash – at least weekly trash collection available
96-gal recycling service included in cost – at least twice monthly
recyclables collection available
County to specify list of recyclables to be collected (single-stream)
15
Ground, con’t
 Trash/recycling containers to be determined by haulers with clearly
identifiable recycling containers
 Annual quantity trash & recycling data reporting requirements
 County will provide public educational information at program onset &
on an on-going basis
 Trash pricing (not fully discussed)
 Will include recycling included in cost (not “free”)
 May include flat fee up to the price of a 32-gal container
 Subsequent 32-gal cart service(s) priced at 100% of the first
container’s price
