We believe that there <br /> are another 1000 to 1500 tons of food waste readily collectable from the commercial <br /> sector . <br /> Timing of when to take the multifamily program from its current source separated <br /> program to two stream as the curbside programs are now . Staff is prepared to do this next <br /> fiscal year, 2007 - 08 . <br /> When and how to expand rural curbside recycling to the 40 % of homes in the <br /> unincorporated part of the County that do not now have that service , is another element of <br /> the program . <br /> Other major areas for decision making include <br /> Rural waste collection for residential and non -residential sectors for which a background <br /> cost and environmental study is being prepared for December distribution , <br /> The future of drop off and convenience centers , <br /> Siting a waste transfer station , <br /> Overall program integration and planning that includes financing and integrating all the <br /> above considerations . <br /> 2 <br />
