f• <br /> 6 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Landfill Owner' s Group <br /> .611/11A <br /> FROM: Bruce Heflin, Public Works Director /- <br /> SUBJECT: Addendum to Memo of February 23 re : Comments from Last <br /> LOG Meeting <br /> DATE: March 1, 1989 <br /> The recycling section of last week' s memo on the landfill budget <br /> for FY 89-90 omitted two important items which you had raised and <br /> one additional item which initially we did not include. These <br /> items combined add $25, 900 to the landfill budget. The attached <br /> spread sheet includes those items in the landfill budget. We <br /> recommend that additional revenue requirements be made up from <br /> this year' s projected cash reserves. <br /> 1) Addition of Hillsborough to curbside program; <br /> estimated. cost —$16 , 700 . That is calculated as <br /> follows : <br /> Median estimate of cost of curbside recycling for <br /> 10, 000 households in Chapel Hill and Carrboro was <br /> $147,000 or $14.70 per household per year. <br /> There are approximately 1, 000 households in <br /> Hillsborough. Pro-rating the• contract cost per <br /> household and multiplying by 1, 000 yields $14, 700. <br /> The other $2, 000 is for promotions and mailing of <br /> materials to households . <br /> 2) ' Contract cost of glass recycling program based on a <br /> price quote from ECOS/Sunshares to pick up glass from <br /> 10 locations is $4, 200 . Service would be on an as- <br /> needed basis for the whole fiscal year. <br /> 3) Addition to the service contract portion of the general <br /> recycling budget to cover the tipping fee credit <br /> granted to the Boy Scouts for their on-going recycling <br /> efforts . This will be about $5, 000 , calculated as <br /> follows: <br /> estimated total 400 tons collected FY 89-90 <br /> 200 tons @ $10/ton (present rate) _ $2,000 <br /> 200 tons @ $15/ton (FY 89-90) = $3, 000 <br />
