14 <br /> 3_ There may be alternative disposal methods available for solid waste management at <br /> some future date. Regardless of technology, those alternative methods will come at a <br /> higher cost AND still involve the transport of large volumes of waste to a specific location. <br /> This will remain a caunty-wide issue BUT not solely a county government problem. <br /> Legitimate, forEhright discussions need to occur involving the disposa{ of municipal solid <br /> waste. Method to be selected, how to fund the associated costs and where to place <br /> facilities remain to be properly addressed. The process should be transparent but <br /> focused. NO neighborhood, urban or rural, wants to host such a facility. Addressing <br /> those localized concerns will be a difficult and troubfing task. <br /> 4. Recycling remains a high priority in Orange County. The County has taken the lead role <br /> in providing these services county-wide. The County must continue to focus on � <br /> Pfftc.ienrieS in bnth the fixed dr�n-off locations �nd c�rbsid� S�MCP el�ment� of thi� <br /> program. Automation and compaction of recyclables will help contain costs BUT those , <br /> costs will increase. . <br /> Recycling also includes debris and yard waste services along with demolition waste <br /> disposal. Those residing in the Rogers/Eubanks Road area should recognize and <br /> understand that Eubanks Road will remain home to the County's demolitian debris <br /> disposal effo�ts and solid waste equipment storage and maintenance functions long after <br /> the municipal solid waste landfill closure. <br /> There are no current plans to relocate that facility or site a new similar facility elsewhere <br /> in Orange County for the foreseeable future. <br /> 5. Summarizing: Extending the lifespan current municipal solid waste landfill can provide a <br /> revenue stream to address some but not a!I Rogers Road area needs_ Determining what <br /> needs are addressed is a role for community/government collaboration but the final <br /> decision and responsibility for action rests with the Board of Commissioners in <br /> conjunction with municipal cooperation. Moving fonrvard will bring some closure to many <br /> long standing issues (besides just the landfill). It will not resolve or address all <br /> community concerns or desired outcomes. Those goals will require on-going efforts and <br /> commitments among all of those with a vested interest in Orange County's future. <br />
