VIII -- 2 resist center operator requests/instructions.Also these scavengers compete with each other and staff has observed scavengers becoming aggressive to each other. Other counties(Chatham)have had to disband their salvage shed operations due to aggressive salvage efforts of some of their visitors. Staff is recommending this additional modest limitation on these professional scavengers not only because they are blocking traffic and immediately taking any/all items in reasonably good condition, but as a stage one workplace violence prevention strategy. • As the SWCC's are modernized and salvage shed services are expected to expand to include used dimensional lumber. We wish to modify the policy(and customer behavior)to prepare for this upcoming new aspect of our operations and the increased traffic this will create. We are implementing these policy revisions to make the salvage sheds less of a vehicle for aggression and competition, safer and more functional/user friendly for our customers, effective January 1,2013. Other policy modifications will be necessary as the convenience center modernization process continues and new materials are added. Staff will propose additional revisions to Convenience Center Policies and Procedures once the Walnut Grove SWCC expansion is completed and we gain practical experience with new reusable materials that become available along with various changes to the receptacles and general site operations. 2
