~.., L%P 2006, we project that 66,500 tons of mixed solid waste plus construction and demolition - waste will be delivered to the Orange Regional waste disposal facility for transfer to a final disposal site. An average per ton tipping fee would range from $31.80 to 552.75 (See table 1) to cover costs of disposing of this waste and paying post-closure costs.

Materials Recovery Facility In adopting an integrated solid waste plan with a goal of 61 °rb waste reduction per capita by 2006, the member govcrnmeats of the Landfill Owners Group included the development of a materials recovery facility to process recyclables from residents and businesses into market-ready commodities.' Such a facility would be capable of handling up to 100 tons per day (25,500 tons per year) of source-separated and commingled recyclable paper, containers and other materials expected to be collected by publicly operated programs. The MRF could be built and operated with a combination of public and private resources. No facility now exists or is planned in the Triangle Region that could process the wide variety of commingled and source-separated materials envisioned in this collection program. We believe such a facility to be necessary to expand recycling efforu sufficiently to reach the 6190 diversion goal. A materials recovery facility would need an arcs of 12 to 15 acres including adequate indoor and outdoor storage, buffers, parking, and access areas. If built in combination with a transfer station for non-recyclable wastes, the facility would need more than 12 acres but less than double the amount for the two facilities built individually. As with a transfer station, a MRF is best Iocated in a area close to the point of materials generation and near good transportation to achieve highest efficiency of moving lazgc amounts of mostly low-value materials.
