Phase I of each study <br /> consisted of sorting 80 representative samples of waste weighing at least 200 pounds from compactors <br /> and dumpsters from different areas within each of the locations. The resulting data provided a <br /> comprehensive and detailed picture of waste generated at each of these types of facilities. These <br /> results helped identify materials to target for future waste reduction and recycling. <br /> In Phase II,two bags of waste were collected and sorted from recycling and trash cans at multiple <br /> generation points within the 11 generator sectors. The results provided the client with generator- <br /> specific "snapshots"that helped determine where and how additional material recovery and waste <br /> reduction might be accomplished. <br /> The most recent study included additional material categories to assist the client in further reducing <br /> waste not only through material recovery and recycling, but also by potentially changing purchasing <br /> practices and expanding organics recovery. <br /> Recovered Materials Market Analysis <br /> KCI conducted an analysis of the client's recycling collection operations to evaluate the operational and <br /> financial impacts of conversion to single stream. KCI analyzed four operational alternatives, including the <br /> addition of glass, estimated recovery rates, estimated capital and operating costs, and identified the <br /> advantages, disadvantages, and strategic implications for each alternative.Additionally, KCI conducted a <br /> recovered materials market assessment that identified buyers interested in the recovered materials. KCI <br /> compiled information on the recovered material markets,which included materials accepted (e.g., <br /> individual commodities, commingled paper, commingled containers, single stream), any limiting <br /> specifications or requirements, and estimated revenue under current markets conditions.The results of <br /> KCI's analysis allowed the client to assess the feasibility and sustainability of converting to a single <br /> stream collection system. <br /> Xis <br /> Town of Carrboro, North Carolina . <br /> Contact: David Andrews, Town Manager, (919)918-7315 110 <br /> Residential Solid Waste Study {wee <br /> The Town of Carrboro requested KCI to perform a Residential Solid Waste Study to assist the town in <br /> pursuing its long-term goal of zero waste, evaluating options to reduce disposal, and assessing collection <br /> methods and schedules to reduce its carbon footprint.The study included an assessment of the current <br /> waste programs, WCS, operations study, organics collection review, and Pay-As-You-Throw review. <br /> Recommendations were presented in a 3-phase approach to holistically address programs, diversion, <br /> and cost reduction. The Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to accept the Solid Waste Study and <br /> directed staff to pursue next steps for Phase 1 recommendations. <br /> kessler consulting inc. <br /> Proposals 2018\Orange Co Proposal-final 16 innovative waste solutions <br />
