While the additional funds budgeted <br />to manage recycling of end-of--life monitors and televisions are not directly related to the <br />transition of Drop-off and Commercial cans and bottles, the proposed Orange County disposal <br />ban on Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs, found in computer monitors and televisions) is the only other <br />enhancement of recycling programs proposed for next year. The proposed CRT ban will <br />continue the County's ongoing effort to reduce overall toxicity of the Orange County waste <br />stream and enable the County to take apro-active role in managing the anticipated increase in <br />disposal of old televisions with the advent of digital television in early 2009. Current staff can <br />manage the projected increase of 1,000 more CRT-bearing televisions or monitors anticipated <br />due to the ban, projected to be implemented in January /February 2009. <br />Increased Tonnage from Commingling and Program Expansions <br />We project that the transition from managing the Drop-off and Commercial source-separated <br />cans and bottles to commingled containers will create the opportunity for significant <br />programmatic improvements. When the Multifamily recycling program completed a similar <br />transition during the summer of 2007, the program experienced a 2S% increase in collection <br />efficiency and a 12.5% increase in tonnage of material collected. The transition enabled this <br />program to add the collection of mixed paper while decreasing overall collection times. The <br />tonnage increase resulted from the combination of adding mixed paper and the increased ease to <br />participants of recycling because the number of sorts they had to perform was reduced from six <br />down to two. Reducing the need to sort the cans and bottles removed a psychological and <br />physical barrier to participation, and also reduced the number of carts required at each collection <br />site. Staff estimates that half (or 6.25%) of the 12.5 % increase observed in the Multifamily <br />program tonnage can be attributed to the increased amount of cans and bottles collected. <br />2 <br />
