RA recyclable materials resulting in increased efficiency of collection with fewer trips to market for recycling and reduced trips to the transfer station. Update on Development of Improvements to Eubanks Road Convenience Center and Relocation of Eubanks Landfill Scales and Entranceway During the FY 13 -14 fiscal year, conceptual design began on the modernization of Eubanks Road Convenience Center as part of an overall plan to revise and consolidate all landfill operations to the north side of Eubanks Road and eliminate the need to weigh in on the south side of the road and cross to the north side to deliver waste or recyclables, etc. The modernization will include similar improvements as at the Walnut Grove site — paving, expanded materials, better circulation, compactors for waste and recyclables and two -level traffic to keep County hauling trucks away from residential users. Final project documents have been submitted to the Town of Chapel Hill (CH Planning Jurisdiction) for approval. Construction is projected to begin late in late spring of 2015 and to be completed by the end of 2015 or early 2016. An interim /temporary convenience center site will be developed and proposed to the BOCC for approval to serve Eubanks Road convenience center users during site construction. This interim center will offer reduced services. Update on expansion and outreach in Commercial recycling efforts Due to efficiency gains from use of larger compacting recycling trucks and some as -yet unrealized gains from conversion to single stream in FY 13 -14, the commercial program has been able to make some small expansions based primarily upon requests from businesses and organizations that wish to receive recycling collection by the County. About forty new stops have been added to the program during the past year.
