It projects that 5, 000 to <br /> 6, 000 tons of waste--in the form of aluminum glass and <br /> newsprint--could be diverted annually by the program. <br /> IMPACT: Initial start up cost is estimated at $130,000 with $10, 000 for <br /> each year thereafter. Funding for capital is proposed to be <br /> provided from the landfill reserve whereas the on going operat- <br /> ing cost would be provided through a surcharge to the per ton <br /> tipping fee. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> Refer to the Manager for staff analysis and to bring back a <br /> recommendation after conferring with the other representatives <br /> of the governing bodies which own and operate the landfill. <br />
