30 <br />residential sector. Some fraction of that could be deposited at drop-off sites of mixed paper anal <br />corrugated cardboard. We have not budgeted additional funds far increased drop off site <br />collections. Based on the waste-sorts, another 1,100 tons of recyclable cans, bottles, newspaper <br />and magazines are now estimated to be landfilled from the affected sector, some of which could <br />also be deposited at drop-off sites. <br />2. Could these changes be implemented over the several-year period in which Chapel Hill <br />would implement pay as you throw (through the summer of 2002) and experience a major <br />increase in recycling (perhaps through 2004), <br />The implementation schedule proposed is substantially different from that in the adapted solid <br />waste management plan. The adopted plan shows expansion of recycling collection and <br />processing capability in all sectors in all jurisdictions preceding the implementation of a PAYT <br />program in any single jurisdiction or sector. Staff believes implementation of a residential <br />PAYT plan could be far more effective of it occurred within the adopted plan sequence and in <br />conjunction with a PAYT program for, the commercial sector as well. Staff continues to <br />recommend that all the governments adhere to the adopted plan or to .carefully, in conjunction <br />with other jurisdictions and utilizing the Solid Waste Advisory Board, revise or modify the plan, <br />so that PAYT logically integrates with other elements of a final plan. <br />3. What issues would need to be resolved to have the greatest success with this increase? <br />There are many waste disposal opportunities under the current waste management structure in <br />Orange County.. Most of those would have. to be eliminated for PAYT in the Chapel Hill <br />residential sector to be most effective, otherwise residents rather than recycling, citizens could <br />simply dispose of materials in another way rather than recycle or reduce. <br />Further, the current curbside collection system limits to six the number of materials that, can be <br />collected at the curb. The required separations between compartments reduce truck carrying <br />capacity. Several other materials can be taken to drop-off sites where they must also be source <br />separated. A system that expanded collection options at both the curb and drop-off sites along <br />with greater processing capability, would enable greater recycling, thus providing citizens more <br />opportunities to reduce waste and disposal costs. Such a system should also involve the <br />commercial sector. Such an expansion is not achievable under the current recycling program <br />structure. <br /> <br />7 <br />
