2 CLARK COUNTY, WA Seven cities and a town Largest city: Vancouver 2017 Population: 474,643 2% increase in population last few years 9-12% increase in tons of garbage over last few years
3 500, , , , , Inbound Tons Population

5 Soft tactics Pros Positive reinforcement People may be more openly receptive Less likely to negatively react or retaliate Cons May not be as motivated as negative reinforcement May not be as effective, but may have same costs 5
6 Public Perception Wanted to avoid Being the Recycling Police Negative attitudes towards recycling Elected officials - All publicity is not good publicity Be prepared. Notify the police Notify elected officials Be able to defend your project 6
7 Why Tags? Point of behavior Personal individualized feedback Reaching new audiences Collect data from the curb It is effective 7
8 TEST, TEST, TEST 2010 Pilot Plastic Bags: 70% improvement Glass Bottles: 94% improvement Overall: 22% improvement 2012 Pilot Saw similar results 2015 first rollout year Presort, post sort, and post-post sort 8

22 Clark County s status 22
23 Impacts of National Sword on Clark County Increased operational costs Increased bale quality Increased residue Increased domestic end-markets available Nothing has been taken off the recycling list! 23
24 2017 September/October Brokers became conservative and market for MWP became uncertain, MWP began to stockpile Added at four FTEs to improve bale quality ~5% to 1.9% contamination Slowed line. Material still coming in and flowing out doors bottleneck November Slowed the sort line from 25 tons per hour to 14 Diverting nearly all out-of-county tons to other MRFs Material no longer flowing outside the facility Added another four FTEs to paper sort lines Material going to SE Asia instead of China December MWP became no longer marketable. Creating ONP product instead. Remaining MWP reprocessed into ONP, or disposed 24
25 2018 January Domestic markets reemerged to accept ONP product 1.1% contamination February 0.65% contamination so close! 10-15% of the paper that was formerly recycled is now landfilled March Material is all able to be moved Some disposal of stored bales from when the market disruption first occurred Possible buyer identified of the 10-15% MWP that used to be recycled 25
26 Public and Political Perception Upset to learn recyclables were going to China China is not to blame Opened some eyes about the mystical process Elves come and pick up Fairies use magic at the facilities to make new items! Public may be more receptive to stronger arm tactics 26
