Triangle Region Solid Waste Planners Committee Household Oct Hazardous Waste <br /> October 1993 <br /> to accomplish this is with the use of DOT shippable cubic yard boxes for disposing <br /> of paint. These boxes which cost less than one drum, can accommodate 160 one- <br /> gallon cans of paint; the equivalent of labpacking nine (9) 55-gallon drums (18 gals. <br /> @ 55) or bulking three (3) 55-gallon drums (53 gals. per drum) - each of these <br /> methods is extremely time consuming and labor intensive. Packaging paint cans in <br /> this manner is much faster, cleaner, safer, neater and more cost efficient than bulking <br /> or labpacking paint. <br /> e. Useable Latex Paint In past collection programs, Laidlaw has been able to work <br /> with local housing authorities to reduce disposal cost of latex paint. Counties can <br /> collect all of the good pourable latex, for reuse by housing authorities or other local <br /> recyclers. <br /> f. Solvent Recycling Solvent recycling will be provided by Laidlaw during the collection <br /> day program. As "fuels" (i.e. kerosene, gasoline, solvent, oil) are collected from <br /> participants, t <br /> hey will be carried to a separate, isolated, bulking tent where the materials will be bulked <br /> into 55-gallon drums. By bulking this material as opposed to labpacking each individual <br /> item, the cost reduction is tremendous. <br /> g. Contract <br /> The TRSWPC request for proposals did not contain a proposed agreement between <br /> the contractor and either TRSWPC or individual local governments. Enclosed in the <br /> Attachements section of this Proposal is Laidlaw's standard HHW Agreement. We <br /> respectfully request that TRSWPC consider this document as the basis for any <br /> contract. <br /> Laidlaw Environmental Services <br /> 9 <br />
