Most commercial recyclables are removed with commercial waste via private sector to out of town facilities. The Town will explore implementation of a co-mingled(2-sort)recycling program as well as adding additional items to its recycling program in connection with the planned new transfer station building. Yard waste fluctuates based on annual weather conditions. Also,in 2004 the Town increased its tip-fee for yard waste from$40/ton to$60/ton. A slight decrease in total yard waste accepted at the compost facility was noted in 2004 • Over 5,000 residents took advantage of the"5001bs.free"program,making over 2,000 trips over the scale. OTHER • Compost facility: facility completed and operating permit received in 2003 • New Transfer Station: a bond resolution in the amount of$3.25 M was passed in December 2004 for the construction of a new MSW transfer station. Construction is expected to start in May/June 2005. • Equipment: Major new equipment acquisitions occurred in 2004,including a 650 hp horizontal yard waste grinder(replacing a 1993 tub grinder);a 5-cu yd front-end wheel loader; a tractor and trailer for hauling recyclables..

Implementation Schedule(cont'd) a. 2. Discussion of implementation obstacles. Few SWMP elements-that have not been enacted or achieved are attributable to _obstacles solely within the Town's control. Those that are typically have been due to continuing uncertainty as to whether and how the Town will continue to handle portions of the waste stream over the long-term. Others goals not attained, such as C&D recycling, stem from inadequate staffing and space. Nonetheless, the Town is working to resolve these issues. For example,instead of funding a separate ongoing newsletter or brochure, solid waste and recycling developments will be reported in the Supervisor's newsletter scheduled to be published in the Spring of 2000 and quarterly thereafter. And,the consolidation and reconfiguration of recycling activities that will be accommodated in the new transfer station should allow for a variety of new recycling efforts. a. 3.

It quickly became clear, permanent transfer station however,that plans for a new/redesigned transfer station should await completion of the landfill capping and,later,the compost site development projects,as each of these would have impacts on key planning and design aspects of a new facility. Revised plans were-developed in 2004,submitted for public review,and approved by the Town Board. Construction of a new transfer station is expected in Spring 2005.

Due to new C&D disposal arrangements made in 2004, however,new effors to divert obvious "residential recyclables"(i.e.,metal, plastic,paper)from the C&D waste stream have been implemented. 36 Add mixed paper as mandatory Sept 1995 The Town's variable-rate waste disposal recyclable system promotes removal of mixed paper from the waste stream and approx.75%of available mixed paper currently is recovered on a voluntary basis. Due to existing source-separation requirements, however,commercial carters have been unable to add this item for their customers, making further mandates unrealistic at this point. 38 Evaluate technical and economic Dec 1997 Town plans to explore with DEC the feasibility of organic waste feasibility of adding this waste to the recycling Town's Ag Bag process. Town of Southold Solid Waste Management Plan—March 2005 P. /0 2. DESCRIPTION OF RESOURCES a. The Solid Waste District has a staff of 16 full time employees, including 2 devoted to Administration and Management, and 4 part time employees. The Solid Waste Coordinator is the chief administrative officer for the District and reports directly to the Supervisor and the Town Board. The District's 2005 budget is $3.5 million. Approximately 30% of the District's revenues are raised through taxes, the remaining 70%through user fees, including a variable-rate waste disposal system("Town bag" program). b. No changes to the District's funding mechanisms or management structure is anticipated at this time. 3. ACCOMPLISIIMENTS/NEW ISSUES a. The 2002 -2004 period saw several significant developments that contribute towards the MSW management goals set out in the SWMP. 1) Improved Marketing of Yard Waste Compost Products. In anticipation of receiving ultimate approval of the Town's compost plan, the District acquired the necessary equipment to process and compost all of the yard waste currently generated within the Town. Approximately 35,000 cubic yards of mulch, woodchips, and leaf compost were produced over this time and most of it given away or sold to residents (each Town resident is allowed 500 lbs/year free). Sales in 1999 reached$40,000. These materials are also donated to a variety of public works and community beautification projects. Approximately 15,000 yards of mulch has been retained at the landfill for use in manufacturing top soil for the landfill cap. 2) Composting a) Construction of a Yard Waste Composting Facility. In 2003,the Town completed construction of a new, state-of-the-art yard waste composting facility. Previous composting efforts were done on top of the landfill,which became unavailable once it was capped. The Town determined it was in the public interest to maintain a facility for composting yard waste. The new facility is located on a 17 acre parcel adjacent to the landfill. The site was excavated to a depth of approximately 15 feet below surrounding grade, and a crushed stone pad was constructed. The site has subsurface drainage and dedicated electric and water service. b) Compost Permit. The Town was granted a permit to compost yard waste in its new facility. The initial term of 1 year was extended an additional 3 years upon renewal in March 2004. Town of Southold Solid Waste Management Plan—March 2005 P. !� 3. ACCOMPLISHMENTS/NEW ISSUES (cont'd) c) Re-establishment of Ag Bag System. The hard surface and dedicated electric supply provides adequate support for the Ag Bag in-vessel compost system. This system had been purchased in the mid-1990's by the Town,but only partially implemented due to inadequate infrastructure. The Ag-Bag has been re-started for a significant portion of the leaves and woodchips (ground brush) accepted at the facility. After demonstrating successful operation with the yard debris,the Town plans to seek DEC approval for the introduction of food waste to the system. d) -Equipment. The Town added two new significant pieces of equipment for use on the compost site: 1) a CBI horizontal wood-waste grinder and a new 5-cubic yard payloader with a rake attachment. The grinder provides assurance that the Town will be able to process 100% of its yard waste for the foreseeable future,-while the loader will be dedicated to handling brush and aerating windrows. e) Bio-degradable Leaf Bags. In 2004 the Town solved the long-standing problem of plastic contamination of leaf compost by introducing the use of bio-degradable paper bags for all bagged leaves brought to the facility. This amounts to approximately 1,500 tons per year. The Town picks up bagged leaves at curbside from residents twice per year, once in spring and once in the fall. Until 2004,residents wishing to take advantage of this service used plastic bags. Efforts to de-bag these leaves never worked fully,however, leaving a significant portion of the leaf compost unmarketable due to its contamination with plastic. The Town eventually resorted to shipping the bagged leaves to a private compost facility at significant cost. The bagged leaves are now able to be fully composted into a product identical to-that achieved with clean,unbagged leaves. The compost facility is now entirely plastic-free. Southold is believed to be the only Long Island municipality to require biodegradable paper bags for its compost operation. 3) New Transfer Station. Final plans and specifications for a new MSW transfer station/recycling center were completed early in 2005,with construction expected to begin in Spring 2005. Key features of the new facility are 1) safer traffic flow, 2) complete separation of commercial and residential vehicles, and 3) expanded capacity for indoor recycling and waste handling. 4) Intermunicipal Agreement.on C&D Disposal. In 2004, Southold and the Town of Brookhaven negotiated an intermunicipal agreement for the disposal of C&D at the Brookhaven landfill at greatly reduced cost. Town of Southold Solid Waste Management Plan—March 2005 P. 3. ACCOMPLISHMENTS/NEW ISSUES (cont'd) 5) Glass Recycling. The Town began recycling glass through a local asphalt dealer by crushing the glass to the required size specification. The effort is done in coordination with the Town of Shelter Island which loans Southold a grinder ideally suited for this purpose. In return, Southold makes its yard waste-trammel screen available to Shelter Island on a specified basis. b. New solid waste management issues affecting progress toward implementing the SWMP are listed below. SWMP Item Issue • Long Range Planning Prior to the expiration of its current waste hauling contract in 2007 the Town should address the feasibility of continued long-hauling of waste for out of state disposal as a viable long term waste disposal strategy. Options for on-Island disposal and arrangements with other Long Island Towns should be explored, including opportunities for cooperative waste and/or recycling arrangements. • Recycling The Town's recycling rate of approx. 35% (not including yard waste)has not changed in several years. The Town plans to explore co-mingled recycling as a way of increasing recycling rates. This would involve assessing the cost of sending the Town's recyclables to a MRF vs.the cost of the current practice of handling source-separated recyclables. • Divert C&D to Alternate Facility Town may wish to remain an outlet for small scale C&D refuse, especially if it can maintain its arrangements with the Town of Brookhaven. • Electronics Recycling The Town will explore the feasibility of adding electronics items to its recycling or HHW disposal programs. Public interest in properly handling " such items is growing. In the absence of state laws requiring special handling of residentially generated electronics items,the Town may wish to implement its own program. Town of Southold Solid Waste Management Plan—March 2005 P. 13 5. REDUCTION,REUSE,AND RECYCLING a) Following is a description of key elements of Southold Town's source separation and recycling program. 1. Procedures for implementing the current program. Collection Methods. Recyclables are brought to the Collection Center in two ways: a) self-hauled by residents, and b)hauled from curbside by private carters. a) Self-hauled recyclables are accepted during the Collection Center's regular hours, 7:00 am- 5:00 pm,Monday through Sunday. Self-haulers deposit the following items at the recycling drop-off station: 1) glass bottles; 2)tin and aluminum cans; 3)plastic containers; 4) mixed paper and newspaper(ONP); and 5) corrugated cardboard(OCC). is also accepted,but at an outdoor "bunker" away from the main recycling drop-off station. All items, except mixed paper and ONP which are deposited into a box trailer, are brought to an outdoor,bi-level recycling station and deposited into bunkers. The bunkers are constructed of movable concrete blocks. They are accessed by residents from a raised platform/parking area. With the exception of the glass,when the bunkers contain enough of an item,the material is loaded via front-end bucket loader into a long-haul trailer and sent to a recycling. Glass is loaded into an off-road dump truck and brought to a separate area for grinding into glass-sand which, as mentioned above,is used by a local asphalt company. b). Private carters deliver source-separated curbside recyclables consisting of all the same items as self-haulers. The glass bottles,,tin/aluminum cans, plastic containers, and corrugated cardboard are brought directly to the outdoor"bunkers"that were,mentioned above,but access the bunkers from the"low" side. This maintains a separation of residential and commercial users of the facility. The haulers bring mixed paper and ONP to a separate bi-level area set up for roll-off containers. The paper is dropped into the containers,which are then removed by a private recycling contractor. Processing Design/Description -.The bi-level recycling station has been removed from its earlier location underneath a section of the MSW Collection building to accommodate higher volumes of traffic and recyclables. It is now outdoors but will be brought back inside when the new transfer station is completed. Town of Southold Solid Waste Management Plan—March 2005 P. 5. REDUCTION,REUSE,AND RECYCLING(cont'd) Marketing Arrangements. See Attachment 1. 2. Public Relations and Education Programs. Formal public education efforts consist of the following: • Presentations and special events for schools and groups on recycling, household hazardous waste, and waste reduction; • Technical assistance for businesses or others with special waste problems • A column in the Town Supervisor's quarterly newsletter. • Newspaper and radio ads for HHW drop-off days. 5 b) Discussion of differences in program. There are no significant differences (other than those discussed in Section 1 above)between the current program and that contained in the latest approved version of Southold's SWMP/CRA. 5 c) Evaluation of reduction/reuse/recycling potential of new materials. Through 2004,the only items in the current approved CRA that are not yet included in-the Town's recycling program are rubber and polystyrene(PS) (although some PS "peanuts"are recycled as packaging for mail order shipping outlets). Items still scheduled to be added to the Town's recycling program in the long-term phase(after changes are made to the transfer station) are 1) other paperboard, 2) other rigid plastic, 3) other flexible-plastic, 4) food, 5) aluminum foil, and 6) aluminum furniture. 1. Present markets and specifications. The Town currently has a market for clean aluminum foil and aluminum furniture and accepts these materials. Formal evaluation of recycling opportunities for other paperboard, other flexible plastic, and food has yet to occur, as the physical and logistical setup at the existing facility are insufficient to support establishing drop-off sites for these items. (Detail about existing marketing arrangements for recyclables can be found in Attachment 1). 2. Present and potential technical feasibility of reduction, reuse, recycling, or composting. The feasibility of composting the Town's yard waste is being established. Formal evaluation of recycling other items scheduled to be added in the long term phase is yet to begin. In the past,no markets for paperboard or other flexible plastic have been i Town of Southold Solid Waste Management Plan—March 2005 P.�S 5 c) 2. Present and potential technical feasibility of reduction, reuse, recycling, or ,composting(cont'd) identified through recycling vendors available to the Town. The option of home composting of food waste has been addressed in ad-hoc fashion through the periodic acquisition and distribution of composting brochures developed by Cornell Cooperative Extension. Food composting at the Town compost facility will be addressed upon successful demonstration of the Town's Ag-Bag system Ideally such an effort would rely on one or more"single source"generators of food waste, i.e., larger institutional or commercial generators. However,there has been a substantial reduction in institutional/commercial food waste delivered to the transfer station as these generators generally contract with private haulers for less expensive, out of Town disposal. In the event that food waste composting is ultimately approved,the Town could establish a strategy to get this waste back in its control. Similar diversion as well as reduction of waste has occurred as a result of the Town's volume-based"Town Bag"garbage disposal system. 3. lmplementation schedule for additional materials. Implementation of recycling of food waste, other paperboard, and additional flexible plastic is still scheduled for the long-term phase. 5 d) Discussion of progress toward achieving SWMP/CRA goals. At this SWW update cycle, the Town continues to move toward achieving its SWW/CRA goals. The landfill cap project as agreed to in the 1994 stipulation of settlement is completed; a new state-of-the-art compost facility capable of handling all the Town's yard waste needs for the foreseeable future is in operation, and a substantial increase in clean leaf compost has been achieved through the introduction of the bio- degradable paper leaf bag program;plans and specifications for a new transfer station are complete with construction slated to start in spring 2005; the volume-based disposal system substantially reduced the amount of incoming waste handled by the Town; and the Town's recycling rates,including yard waste, actually exceeds the mid-term phase goal set out in the 1995 CRA already approved. Issues such as diverting C&D to a private facilitie(s) and tracking private waste management and recycling efforts still remain to be addressed in the long-term phase. 5 e) Copy of all current source separation laws. There have been no changes to the Town's Solid Waste Code since the 1995 SWMP/CRA update.
