Title

Traditional Recycling Opportunities and Options

Recommended Action

Staff will discuss the mentioned options to obtain further direction at the upcoming Board meeting. At this time, staff recommends that the SWDD Board approve the following:  1. Authorize staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to obtain bids for implementation of concrete and C&D recycling at the landfill. A procurement process will help us evaluate private sector interest, their costs and their recovery rates to adequately determine both the financial impact as well as the impact to the overall recycling rate. C&D recycling has the potential to increase the county’s overall recycling rate by an estimated 7%.
