Q • adding ten multifamily sites and five new commercial glass sites, Current Year Summary (1998-991 47 The fiscal year 1998-99 current budget is $165,800 greater than the original budget because of reappropriations to cover expenses related to 1998-99. The biggest single carryover is the $95,000 in professional service fees associated with development of the materials recovery facility. Other significant carryover covers the following accounts: postage/printing/advertising $1,750; contract services $53,100, maintenance $8,200, rental, $2,600; and supplies $5,000. Estimated fiscal year 1998-99 expenditures are $1,447,007 or 4% over the original budget due to expenditure carryovers from previous year's accounts as noted above. -They are $108,800 under the mid-year projections due to delayed implementation of multifamily expansions, oil filter recycling, mixed paper collection and small business hazardous waste collections. In addition, we received favorable pricing on equipment bids, had no expenditure for composting bins (vendor covered all costs, there was no up-front purchase with resale}. Overall Program Summary Programmatic highlights for general recycling services are noted below. . Current Year (1998-991 • General recycling volumes are projected to tota16,100 tons without white goods or landfill salvage, resulting in a cost of $237 per ton without a tipping fee credit, or $199 per ton with one. NOTE: This cost includes all personnel costs for all programs including curbside, all capital equipment costs for new ~' equipment and all household hazardous waste program costs. The household hazardous waste programs do not contribute significantly to recycling tonnage and capital equipment costs should be spread over five years. Without household hazardous waste program costs and with capital equipment costs spread over five years, the cost per ton recycled is projected at $185 or $147 with a tip fee credit. Hazardous wastes will add a negligible tonnage to recycling but will lower the risk of groundwater pollution at the landfill. -_ • Significant waste reduction efforts have included the following: 1. addition of mixed paper to all ten drop off sites, 2. revision, continued promotion and mailing of "Junk Mail Terminator" kit to reduce unwanted mail.
