1995 ANNUAL REPORT
HIGHLIGHTS
GMfMML
• Incoming Waste Stream of 27,498 tons, down 175. from '94, due mainly to 60% drop in
garbage-by-weight (i.e. , commercial trash not in Town Bags) ;
• Expenses Down, but revenues down more, resulting in approx. $50,000 - $60;000
deficit heading into 1996.

Southold Town Solid Waste District
1995 ANNUAL REPORT
* The year was marked by two major developments: 1) a reduction in
* the amount of waste materials handled by the Town as disposal habits --
especially those of the commercial sector -- continue to evolve in
* response to the increased costs of recent years, and 2) continued high
* levels of recycling, which led to record income from the sale of
* recyclables.
* Other significant developments were physical improvements in the
* form of new equipment. to replace old, costly machinery, and the paving
* of the grounds around the collection building, including the self-haul
* recycling drop-off area nd the loading platform area. These steps have
* already led to a cleaner, more efficient operation.
*
* A total of 27,498 tons of incoming waste were received at the
* Transfer Station in 1995. Of this, 12,803 tons (470) consisted of MSW
* and CO wastes that were transferred from Cutchogue for disposal. The
* remainder of the waste stream, including household recyclables, yard
* waste, sand, shellfish, scrap metal, and tires was either recycled or
* stockpiled for later use.
GENERAL WASTE STREAM AND RECYCLING CHARACTERISTICS
The size of the waste stream handled at the transfer station
continued to shrink in 1995, to 27,498 tons from over 33,000 tons in
1994, a 17% drop. Much of this was-due to a decrease in MSW charged by
weight (MSW shipped in "town bags" actually increased slightly) .
Significant reductions were also noted in construction and demolition
debris (C&D) and clean fill. Yard waste and recyclables also showed
slight declines.
Recycling tonnage was affected only slightly by the drop in
garbage, suggesting that the Town's residents remain as committed as
ever to the Town's program. More important, however, is the fact that
the continued high levels of recycling (which reached a record 370 of
household garbage) resulted in about $175,000 in income for the Town as
market prices soared. ' The 1995 Solid Waste budget projected $50,000 in
income. This can certainly be looked at as a vindication of the source-
separation requirements on which the program is based (in contrast to
most other communities), as it provides clean, sorted, and therefore
readily marketable products.
MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE SOLID WASTE DISTRICT
The 5 major functions of the Solid Waste District are the handling
of 1) Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) , 2) Construction and Demolition (C&D) ,
3) Recyclables, 4) Yard Waste, and operation of 5) the S.T.O.P. Facility
for household hazardous wastes (HHW) . These are discussed in detail
below.

MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE SOLID WASTE DISTRICT (cont'd)
1. Municipal Solid Waste(MSW)
The transfer station received and loaded for transfer 7,807 tons
of MSW in 1995, down from 11,363 tons in 1994. ' This is primarily due to
the increase in the tip fee on "garbage by weight" to $90/ton, which
resulted in a drop of 3,886 tons (from 6,481 to 2,595) in this category
of MSW. While a significant loss of tonnage, in terms of income to the
District, the drop actually resulted in a net increase of nearly $32,000
after accounting for reduced hauling charges. -
* It should be noted that while the amount of incoming material has
* dropped steeply over the last few years (in 1990 the landfill received
* nearly 48,000 tons) , the waste stream produced by Southold Town
* residents has not actually shrunken by this amount. Garbage has simply
* been diverted to cheaper out of town disposal/transfer sites. The Town
* committed to addressing what has happened to this "disappearing" waste
* stream in the context of its recently approved Solid Waste Management
* Plan.
The weight of "Town Bag" trash was 5,212 •tons, up 330 tons (7%)
from 4,882 in 1994. ' Since bag sales remained relatively flat, this
change suggests that people are -packing their bags heavier than before.
The breakdown of Town Bag use is 3,086 tons from self-haulers, 2,126
tons from commercial users.
* EXPENSES related to MSW were estimated to be $816,000, or about
* 37% of the Solid Waste District's total direct operating costs: Of
* this, Tully hauling charges amounted to approximately. $560,000.
2. Construction and Demolition (C&D)
The transfer station received and loaded for transfer 4,996 tons
of C&Din 1995, down from 6,371 tons in 1994. As Southold's C&D tip fee
is relatively competitive with out of town rates, this is most likely a
reflection of reduced construction activity in the Town.
* As noted below, C&D expenses far outweigh tip fee income on C&D
* materials. In 1995, removal costs were about $125,000 over the original
* approved budget amount. The current fee structure essentially
* subsidizes the C&D operation with fees from other revenue sources.
* While this system clearly benefits residents and contractors engaged in
* construction and renovation work, the Town should consider whether to
* increase the C&D tip fee to cover costs.
The 1996 budget for C&D removal is based on an anticipated
reduction in the C&D waste stream stemming from an increase in the tip
fee to $90/ton. This was thought to be feasible because a private local
alternative C&D transfer station operated by North Fork Sanitation was
Southold Town Solid Waste District
1995 Annual Report
Page 3
mAjoR FUNCTIONS OF THE SOLID WASTE DISTRICT (cont'd)
expected to be open early in 1996. The North Fork facility is not yet
in operation and it is unknown when or if it will be.
* EXPENSES related to C&D were estimated to be $604,000, or about
* 280 of the Solid Waste District's total direct operating costs. Of
* this, STAR hauling charges amounted to approximately $477,000. C&D
* continues to be a major money loser. At a tip fee of $70/ton, the
* District took in only about $350,000.
3. RECYCLING
The transfer station received a total of 4,137 tons of recyclables
in 1995, sorted into no fewer than 15 categories, all of which were
handled and shipped (by the Town) to recycling vendors. This figure is
down 320 tons from 1994, mostly the result of steep drops in newspaper
and cardboard, as the private haulers shipped directly to out of Town
vendors to take advantage of high prices for those items. The loss of
newspaper and cardboard more than offset significant increases in mixed
paper, cans, and glass handled at the recycling center.
In 1995, 38% of Southold's total waste stream was recycled,
including 370 of the household garbage. These figures compare with 330
and 29% respectively in 1993.
With the exception of glass, in 1995 the District completed the
transition to hauling virtually all of its recyclables to markets.
' Using existing staff and the new Ford tractor acquired in the Spring,
the District made more than 150 trips to markets on Long Island and in
New Jersey. Manpower previously devoted to burying garbage has been
transferred to handle the ever-increasing amount of recyclables. This
will expand further in 1996.
* EXPENSES related to handling recyclables were estimated to be
* $360,000, or about 16% of the Solid Waste District's total direct
* operating costs. About $175,0OO, of this is direct labor expense, making
* recycling by far the most labor-intensive activity undertaken by the
* District (38% of all labor costs) .
*
* The program also generates money, however. Income from the sale
* of recyclables was approximately $175,000. Were recyclables shipped out
* with the garbage as they once were, hauling charges alone would have
* been $268,000. Adding this "avoided cost" with the income generated
* shows that recycling does indeed pay - to the tune of a net income of at
* least $'43,000 in 1995.

4. YARD WASTE
The Collection Center received 6,182 tons of yard waste in 1995,
down 6% from 6,582 tons in 1994, due mainly to a reduction in leaves,
grass, and landclearing debris. Brush, however, showed a 12% increase
from 3,367 tons to 3,776 tons, due most likely to the Board's lowering
of the tip fee to $40/ton in the Spring. This trend should continue in
1996 with a full year at the lower rate. Roughly '10% of the leaves and
45% of the brush were delivered through the Highway Spring and Fall
cleanups.
Other yard waste developments:
• All of the brush and landclearing was processed by the tub grinder
into woodchips, much of which was given away to residents free of
charge. Most of the woodchips, however, continue to be used to
spread over the landfill. The chipped brush needs additional
shredding and screening in order to promote its use as a mulch
instead of decorative cover.
• The clean (unbagged) leaves were added to the compost/mulch
operation. They are set up in windrows and are watered and turned
regularly.
• In 1995 the District rented equipment to begin to process a large
backlog past seasons' leaves into a marketable mulch product.
Much of this backlog consisted of about 3,000 cubic yards of
bagged leaves delivered during Highway cleanups. This pile, which
could not be buried, was starting to get in the way of compost
activity and served as a trap for water causing further
deterioration of the site and operations. The entire backlog of
bagged leaves was shredded and screened, and much of it sold as
mulch.
• The leaf mulch proved quite popular with homeowners and commercial
users. About 500-tons were sold (@ $20/ton) while over 1,000
residents took advantage of the 500 lb "give-away" program. Over
4,000 yards of clean (un-bagged) leaves and 1,500 yards of bagged
leaves (from the Fall cleanup) remain to be shredded and screened.
This should be done prior to the Spring 1996 season in order to
take advantage of peak demand.
* EXPENSES related to yard waste were estimated to be $302,000, or about
* 14% of the Solid Waste District's total direct operating costs.
5. S.T.O.P. FACILITY
The S.T.O.P. program collected and shipped 78 55-gallon drums of
Southold Town Solid Waste District '
1995 Annual Report
Page 5
FUNCTIONS OF THE SOLID WASTE DISTRICT (cont'd)
household hazardous wastes in 1994, down from 110 drums in 1994, and down from
121 drums in 1993. At a minimum of $190/drum, this means that the Town has
saved at least $6,000 in shipping and disposal costs in 1995 vs. 1994. This
drop is likely due to a drying up of available supply as the program, which is
now nine years old, continues to reduce HHW stock in area garages and
basements. A new HHW contractor, Pat Peretti Freight Service, Inc. of
Rockaway, NJ, will provide HHW disposal services in 1996. The incumbent,
Chemical Pollution Control of Bay Shore, failed to win the bid for 1996.
EXPENSES related to the S.T.O.P. program were estimated to be $105,000,
or about 50 of the Solid Waste District's total direct operating costs.
k Direct contractual expenses were about $35,000, $5,000 short of the $40,000
budgeted for 1995.
ADMINISTRATIVE/MANAGERIAL
1. Mary Mulcahy started in March as a part-time assistant to the
Solid Waste Coordinator.
2. On July 1, the Town entered into the 2nd year of its' "haul and
dispose" contracts with Tully Construction and Star Recycling for
garbage and C&D respectively. The base term of the contracts runs
through June 30, 1997 at which time the Town may choose to extend
one or both of them for another 2 years.
-3. Distributed a total of 355,350 "Town Garbage Bags" to retailers
who sell them.
4. Tip fees on "garbage-by-weight" (non-Town bag trash) raised to
$90/ton from $70/ton as of 1-1-95.
* 5. With the help of the new Town Investigator, have developed a
* smoother, more consistent system to enforce the garbage code
* against scofflaws, especially those who fail to pay tip and permit
* fees. Have almost eliminated the need to involve police in minor
* code violations.
REGULATORY/LEGAL
1. Received approval from the DEC on Town's Solid Waste Management
Plan, which outlines the Town's MSW management plans through the
year 2015. This was the culmination of a 4-year process.
2. Closure Investigation Workplan (CIW) completed' by Dvirka and
Bartilucci. The Closure Investigation and the Closure
Investigation Report must now be completed before the final cap
for the Cutchogue landfill can be designed and constructed.

REGULATORY/LEGAL (cont'd)
3. One-year operating permit for temporary transfer station renewed
by DEC, October 9. Town to apply for permanent part 360 permit.
4. Application for expanded Yard Waste Composting Permit still
pending with DEC.
FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS
* The following improvements were made in 1995.:
*
* Paving of all of the ground around the collection building and
* recycling area. The area around the loading wall was also paved.
*
* Construction of a cement block loading wall to the east of the
* collection building to allow for proper loading of recyclables.
*
* Installation of a fence around the re-use area to control access
* and eliminate disposal of garbage in the facility.
*
* Installation of County-approved tanks in use drop station.
* Facility now has full Health Department certification.
* Re-location of oil drop station to area closer to recycling
* station.
* Construction of cement block wall on un-improved side of long-haul
* loading trench.
PERSONNEL -
1. Staff level was increased by 1 part-time office assistant. Current
staff consists of Solid Waste Coordinator, part-time assistant, 2
Foremen, 6 Construction Equipment Operators, 1 Mechanic, 3 Scale
Operators (one short of full-staff) ; and 4-part-time laborers used in
rotating shifts.
2. Landfill staff worked 300 overtime hours, mostly to cover foreman
absence or multiple illnesses. Of this, 130 hours were paid for in the
form of compensatory time.
EQUIPMENT/REPAIRS
In 1995, the District completed a turnover of "rolling stock" from old costly
or non-functioning equipment to new or nearly new machinery with improved
efficiency and years of- useful life.
1. John Deere 744 E Payload er - Took delivery on loader purchased in 1994.
