V 4 take over of three private sites from ECOS; collection from 13 drop off sites ; weekly collection of corrugated cardboard from 30 business sites; program publicity, outreach, education, and training; Tonnage expected from the drop off program and the cardboard program in FY 89-90 is : 150 tons cardboard 3 tons/ week x 50 weeks - 900 tons aluminum, newspaper, glass from drop off. Presently each site averages 12 tons per month. We expect this average to drop by 50% to 6 tons per month with the expansion of the curbside program and increased number of sites. This is a conservative estimate. - 1050 Total tons . Cost per ton net including revenues $78. Note that this cost per ton omits collections from the Boy Scouts and ECOS' remaining recycling sites although those sites are supported with publicity, signage, and technical assistance from the Landfill Owner' s Group. Expected collection at these sites is 500 tons . If we add these sites in and the tip fee credit for the Boy Scouts , the total drop-off tonnage is then 1550 or $56 per ton. Curbside program costs total $190,000 and include the following: 502 of personnel costs and fringes , publicity, and contractor costs . Expected collection 1800 tons or $106 per ton. If collections are higher and the revenue-sharing formula with the contractor reamins the same, there will some revenue returned to the program and net cost per ton will be lower. These projected average costs per ton include revenue received from sale of materials but do not include projected landfill space savings which would be about $6 per ton based on current engineering estimates of the cost per acre for lined landfills . If other programs, such as curbside recycling in Hillsborough or glass recycling from restaurants and bars are added, total costs will increase but the cost per ton could decrease. The glass recycling program is , for example, estimated to collect 240 tons 3
