I. INTRODUCTION <br />A. BACKGROUND <br />The HHW collection program was established in 1994 as a cooperative program between local <br />governments to collect hazardous waste from residents of Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Wake <br />counties. The program began as a once per month collection event with a private vendor. This <br />regional approach facilitates the removal of hazardous waste from the environment at large, and <br />local landfills and waterways in particular. <br />In June of 2002, the County contracted with a private vendor and began operating the HHW <br />Program based at the permitted facility at the Orange County Landfill. In the spring of 2003, the <br />HHW program transitioned from holding collection events on the first Saturday of the month to <br />operating a full -time year round collection program accepting household hazardous waste four <br />days per week. This agreement also allowed for small businesses, non - profits, and other public <br />agencies within Orange County (CESQGs) to have access to Orange County's Program for fee - <br />based disposal of commercial hazardous waste. <br />In August of 2005 the County expanded program hours from four days per week to six days per <br />week and continues the same hours currently. In 2007 the County opened the hazardous waste <br />program to CESQGs located in Orange County for management and disposal of hazardous waste <br />with services paid for by the County. <br />Orange County has been managing dry-cell batteries, lead -acid batteries, used motor oil, oil filters, <br />antifreeze and some compressed gas cylinders itself. County expects its HHW Provider to continue to <br />help County's HHW program find ways to decrease per participant costs through creative handling of <br />waste and through continued emphasis on reuse. <br />While the County presently manages waste motor oil, and batteries itself, in the future the County may <br />either choose to handle more individual HHW materials itself (for example PCB Ballasts), or County may <br />ask its HHW provider to provide assistance with the materials it had been previously handling. <br />Finally, in the hierarchy 'of waste processing methods, Orange County is interested (when possible and <br />economically feasible) in pursuing recyclin- as a predominant handling method for wastes collected by our <br />HHW Program. <br />B. CURRENT FACILITY <br />The Orange County permanent HHW collection center is located at 1514 Eubanks Road in the Township <br />of Chapel Hill, on the property of the Orange County Landfill. The HHW program in Orange County is <br />managed and administered by the Orange County Department of Solid Waste Management. Orange <br />County's HHW collection center is open six days per week (Monday through Friday 10 am to 6:00 pm, and <br />Saturday 7:30 am to 12:00 noon). <br />C. PLANNED PROGRAM EXPANSION <br />Orange County is currently in the process of improving its Solid Waste Convenience Centers (SWCCs). <br />The SWCCs provide residents with disposal opportunities for a variety of materials including; garbage, <br />traditional recycling, oil, oil filters, electronics, etc. <br />One SWCC in the northern part of the County will become a, "District Site ". This facility does not currently <br />collect HHW but when the new facility opens in the fall of 2012 (October or November depending on the <br />construction schedule) the County will provide HHW collection and disposal services at this site. <br />Page 6 HHW RFP # 6183 <br />
