Council approve a six-month cart-based waste collection pilot project at a cost not to exceed $150,000.00. That for the duration of 2001, $75,000.00 be charged to the Corporate General Government Provisions for Contingencies. That $75,000.00 for 2002 be granted as pre-budget approval as a 2002 expenditure from the Current Operating Budget and that a new line item be set up for this purpose. Staff commence discussions with Miller Waste, the Town of Markham and Durham Region in order to implement with the Phase 2 Markham project which commences October 1, 2001 along with all necessary monitoring including a final report FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Town of Markham presently leases a Heil Truck that is used one day a week for collection of Organic Waste for this project. The leased cost is $16,000 per month. Picketing would share this cost with Markham for the duration of the project. Projected cost $8000 per month ($48,000) Pickering would also be required to lease for each household the required number of carts for the target area at a cost of $8.00 per cart from the same supplier used by Markham. Projected cost: 1000 carts over six months ($48,000). An additional cost for delivery: ($5000). Advertising, educational, and promotional activities: ($15,000). It has been suggested that an amount not to exceed $150,000 would ensure that this project moves forward allowing for projected costs as well as buffer for any unexpected costs. The Director of Finance has been consulted with and has advised that sufficient funds are available for the balance of 2001 through the Corporate General Government provision for Contingencies with the remaining 3 months requiring pre-budget approval to be included in the 2002 Current Operating Budget with a new line item to be created to reflect it. In addition to these actual costs to Pickering, Miller Waste has committed to provide in kind services to offset the following: 1 Organic collection truck and driver 1 Driver for the leased Heil truck for the purpose of recycling and residual collection Project Management assistance Other components of this project, which would not have any financial impact on the City, include: Organic materials for composting at a cost of 120 tonnes @$75.00 per ton avoids the equivalent cost for landfill disposal ~ $75.00 per ton. Report to Council CO 02-01 Subject: Waste Diversion Pilot Project Date: September 4, 2001 Page 2 029 The recycling materials will be transported to the Miller location for the duration of the project. The processing costs are alreadv covered by Durham Region, who will continue to receive the financial profits from the sale of the materials. It is important again to stress that ifPickering does not move forward as part of the Phase 2 Marklmm project there would be a substantial increase m costs to move forward on our own. Based on the projected initial costs for Markham in Phase 1 this could amount to $425,000 compared to less than $150,000 a savings of at least S275,000. BACKGROUND: The City of Pickering has a lon~ standing history of being thc recipient of traditional forms of "Waste Disposal" and its impact on our Community, and in particular tine environment. As a Council xxe are on record opposing any use of existing or tile creation of new Landfill Sites within our boundaries. Our Citizens througtn the hard work of P.A.C.T have also embraced this position. With an impending crisis looming in Durham and other parts of tine ©TA with the closing of Kecle Valley, unless a creative solution is fbund, once again communities such as Pickering will face the prospect of becoming an unhappy host tbr waste disposal. One might argue that the solution rests with the Regional level of Government. however, to date in Durham, in spite of a Public Advisor5.' committee that provided input into a future Waste Management Plan that supported a 3 streain waste management system: there has not been any change in direction at the Regional level. By contrast in the Region of York, a long-term waste management strategy is already in the works. In December 1999, the Town Council for Markham authorized staff to proceed with the development of a waste collection pilot project. The pilot project was intended to study the public acceptability and practical aspects of some of the latest collection options for organic food waste, recyclables, yard waste and refuse. In addition, data collected during the pilot would be made available to the Region of' York as part of their deliberations for a long-term solid waste processing and transfer facility. The pilot project xvas launched in April 2001 and included 588 households in an established comnmnity. The focus of the pilot project was to test a cart-based collection system for a 3- stream waste management system. The "Markham's On A Roll" cart-based pilot project is a 3-stream waste management system for the collection ofrecyclables, organics and garbage. The material is set out in the following fashion: · Garbage and fully co-mingled recyclables are separated and set out in a 416 litre (100 gallon) split cart (the cart is split 50/50 vertically) · Kitchen organic waste and non-woody yard waste is set out in a 242 litre (64 gallon) cart · All carts are collected on a weekly basis · Extra yard waste is collected on the regularly scheduled bi-weekly yard waste collection As of May 25, 2001, only eight residents elected not to participate in the cart-based pilot project by continually setting their waste at the curb in blue boxes and garbage bags. By contrast, 580 residents, or 99% of all residents in the "3larkham's On A Roll" pilot project area are participating voluntarily. An interim review of the project has already confirmed that the pilot project achieved a diversion rate of approximately 04¢o. This is twice the performance of the Town-wide average of 32%.

People are placing more material out for recycling and this has been a significant factor in raising the overall diversion rate. Miller Waste Systems has advised that the recyclables collected from the carts have been a much cleaner and dryer material than that of blue box origin Because of the great success of over the first six months of this pilot, Markham has approved an additional six months from October to the end of March 2002. A PILOT PROJECT FOR PICKERING During the summer recess a meeting was held with Management Personnel from Miller Waste as well as the Project Co-coordinator assigned to the Markham Pilot. An opportunity was provided to tour the collection process and to interview various residents in the target area. Pickering has an opportunity to partner with Miller Waste and Markham in the second phase of this project. By moving forward as soon as possible Pickering can cost share on this project with Markham thereby reducing their costs and ours. Savings can be found by partnering with Markham on common shared infrastructures required for the project to work. Additional benefits would be found by the sharing of data as part of a review on the conclusion of the project. In an effort to be consistent with Markham a target population of 500 homes should be selected for this project. In anticipation of moving forward staff from Pickering, together with staff from Miller, are reviewing community data and demographics in order to select a target community. The cart-based pilot project will be a 3-stream waste management system with the collection of garbage, recyclables and organics. The project will involve the use of two carts to collect the three material streams. One cart will be divided and used to collect garbage and recycling. The second cart (not divided) will be used to collect food and yard waste. All garbage, recyclables, kitchen organics and yard waste will be collected on a weekly basis to be consistent with Markham for research purposes. Report to Council CO 02-01 Subject: Waste Diversion Pilot Project Date: September 4, 2001 Page 4 Each target home would be provided with 2 of the carts similar to that used in Markham, the same 2 trucks being used as pan of the Markham project will be used Ibr Picketing. Miller will transport organic materials to a compost facility, in order to be consistent with the 1VlarMmm project, for the duration of the project, all recycling materials will be sent to the Miller site in Markham for separation. Common educational materials that have already been developed for the Phase 1 Markham project will be made available to the City of Picketing. Miller will provide the project management at no cost. The programming for the automated cart-based pilot project has been based on systems that are in place in many municipalities in thc U.S. These systems utilize automated collection where the operator does not leave the cab of the vehicle to load material into the truck. An automated, hydraulic arm is controlled by the driver to clamp the collection cart, load the contents of the cart into the vehicle and return the cart to the curbside. Co-Collection Efficiencies Thc waste materials will be collected using co-collection technology where two streams of material can be collected in a divided vehicle in one pass ogthe household. The use of this co- collection technology will result in improved collection efficiencies and will likely be able to reduce overall collection costs. By contrast present collection requires 2 persons per truck compared to 1 person per truck using this method. Thc details og the collections being proposed tbr this pilot are outlined below: · the garbage and recycling streams will be co-collected in separate compartments of an automated split packer collection vehicle · organic material (both food and yard waste) will be collected in an automated single compartment packer · during the peak season (i.e. gall) additional yard waste can be bagged or bundled and will be collected in a single compartment packer collection x chicle The processing of the material being collected in the pilot project is being coordinated with our collection contractor, Miller Waste Systems. The details ogthe processing methodology for the pilot are listed below: · garbage, recycling and organics will be delivered to Miller Waste System's transfer station on Miller Avenue, Markham. · the garbage will be compacted, bulked and transported to Keele Valley landfill site for disposal in the usual fashion · the recyclables will be transferred to Miller's Markham MRF where they will be sorted, baled and shipped to market · the organics will be composted at Miller Waste System's Composting Facility on Bloomington Sideroad COMMUNICATION MATERIAL A major component of the pilot project will be the development and delivery of communication and public education material to the residents who will be participating in tt~e program. Items that will be included are: · introductory letter to the residents detailing the pilot · surveys (prior to, during and at the completion ogthe pilot) · development of messaging and communication materials (i.e. streaming guides, progress reports, feedback to participants on achievements to date etc.) Markham has already acquired the services of a communications consultant to aid with the development of these materials in conjunction with Miller Waste Management staff. Pickenng would adapt these mater/als for their use.
