Town of Kapuskasing SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Town of Kapuskasing SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Presently the Town of Kapuskasing has a Depot Recycling System. Current Low diversion factor (waste recycled) of 5% The CTWMB had been replaced with the NERA board which has now decided to disband in early 2017. Since this has happened we have been working on the Kapuskasing/Moonbeam Waste Management Board. (KMWMB) The KMWMB is considering changing our depot system to a Curb Side Recycling Program in an effort to increase the Diversion Factor. Moonbeam has already done so.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Discussions have been held with representation of Moonbeam s Council we have agreed to convert to Curb Side Recycling. Kapuskasing Public Works Construction Committee has agreed to support Curb Side Recycling in Principal.

COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEPOT SYSTEM The Municipality owns approximately 15 depot style bins which staff clean and maintain at least 2 times per week at a cost of $15,000 per year. The 2015 Total Contribution from the Town of Kapuskasing to NERA was $115,000

DIVERSION RATES Data submitted by the CTWMB to WDO, the board diversion rate in 2012 was 18.64%. (for all Regions) The Goal of the KMWM Board is to increase the diversion rate to 40% or more, with the establishment of curbside collection. Town staff feel this a realistic goal not only because of the curbside collection program but also that virtually all recyclable material will be accepted. It must be noted that an increased diversion rate will reduced the refuse going to the landfill site.

FULL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM INVOLVES THREE COMPONANTS 1. Collection and transportation of refuse and recycling. (done by both Municipalities) 2. Operation and maintenance of a Transfer Site. (jointly operated by Landfill staff) 3. Operation and maintenance of the Municipal Landfill. (existing)

Refuse Program The proposed start for the curb side recycling program is January 2017. Public Works will be replacing its Residential Garbage Truck in 2016 and its Commercial Garbage Truck in 2017. The ideal setup and what most Regions have done is convert the Residential Garbage to an automated service. Residents would be provided a 65 gallon cart for refuse designed for automated pick up. There is potential once we have reach our diversion rates of 40% of a substantial reduction in Residential Garbage Costs.

COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF RECYCLING Each household will be supplied with 1 cart designed for automated pick-up. 96 gallon cart for recyclables. Carts will be purchased by the Town with costs levied through taxes commencing in 2017. (open to discussion) Carts will belong to the property not the homeowners.

COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF RECYCLING Collection Vehicles will be equipped with an automated arm for pick-up. (RFP process approved by Construction Committee on January 14, 2016) Collection will be done on a weekly basis. Recycling will be a single stream program with all recycling placed into the appropriate cart.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A TRANSFER SITE All recyclable material collected at curbside will be transported to the Jointly owned Landfill Site. At the site the recyclables will be compacted with a loader, piled and stored. When there is sufficient quantities, the recyclables will be loaded and transported to a Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The Transfer Site will be open periodically to allow for others to deliver their recyclables. Hours of operation to be the same as the Landfill Site. The Transfer Site will be equipped with a scale to allow for accurate weighing. (already in place)

COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DELIVERY OF RECYCLABLES TO THE TRANSFER SITE Cost for operation of the Transfer Site will be shared amongst the Partners of the KMWMB. Cost for collection of Refuse and Recyclables will the responsibility of each Municipalities. Capital cost for the new Transfer Site will be the responsibility of the Kapuskasing Moonbeam Landfill site.

Landfill Savings Projected savings from a Curb Side Recycling program will extend the life of the landfill site by 6 months. (Kapuskasing Alone) Opening and Closing a Landfill Site costs $5,000,000 or $250,000 a year based on a 20 year life span. Savings of $112,500 over the life of the Landfill Site, or an annual cost saving of $7,500.
