15 <br /> offers the ability to adjust Government Buildings Recycling Program to add materials and <br /> adjust to market conditions in a more timely manner. We predict service will improve in <br /> terms of collection schedule and number of materials collected. By adding items <br /> collected at each building we can achieve a greater recycling rate in the government <br /> office buildings at a lower cost. <br /> The following tables compare current program costs with a projected cost associated with <br /> the program envisioned by the Solid Waste Management Department for assumption of <br /> the entire current governmental office recycling program. The ORS contract costs are <br /> from the current budget and contract. The OCPW costs are provided by Terry Campbell, <br /> Orange County Public Works Department's Solid Waste Manager. The Solid Waste <br /> Management Department's cost estimates are for 40% of an employee's time and <br /> associated collection vehicle and other costs associated with the proposed program. <br /> Current Orange Recycling Services/Public Works v.
