Expansion of the Commercial RecvciingPro~Aram
SSC currently has commercial recycling programs in Meridian for removal of:
^ Compacted cardboard
^ Loose cardboard
^ Telephone books
^ Plastic bottles
^ Wood waste
^ Inert waste
These programs removed more than 5.5 million pounds of waste in 2008 -more than
any other category of recycling program. Ali ofithese programs are called "source
separated" programs where only one commodity is collected and transported.
SSC proposes to expand the commercial recycling program to handle medium sized
businesses and schools using a "single stream" collection. Until six months ago there
was no marke# for commingled materials in Ada County but Western Recycling now has
a market for this material. The program will allow for the collection of the following
commingled recyclables:
^ Mixed Paper (office paper, junk mail, phone books etc.
^ Magazines
^ Newspaper
^ Cardboard
^ Plastic (1-7}
• Aluminum
^ Tin
Food items and plastic films are contaminants in this program
These items will be disposed in a 5 cubic yard expanded metal container ar a 95-gallon
wheeled cart. The five cubic yard container will be collected using a front end Toad truck
and the wheeled carts will be collected using a recycling trunk with no compartments.
Rate Structure:
SSC proposes to expand the current commercial and school recycling programs as soon
as a public hearing can be completed for the proposed rate s#ructure:
Size Freguencv Cost per month
1 - 95 gallon cart 2x per month $ 14.00
1 - 95 gallon cart 1x per week $ 22.25
2 _ 95 gallon carts 1 x per week $ 25.25
3 -- 95 gallon carts 1x per week $ 28.25
4 -- 95 gallon carts 1x per week $ 31.25
5 - 95 gallon carts 1x per week $ 34.25
6 - 95 gallon carts 1x per week $ 37.25
1 -- 5 CY container 2x per month $ 46.00
1 x per week $ 60.00
2x per week $ 96.00
3x per week $132.00
4x per week $168.00
5x per week $204.00
The rate structure indicates that cart service wAi occur for all customers on the same day
of the week. This will allow for efficient use of the collection vehicle. Far the five cubic
yard container service the customer wilt only have a single container buf will be serviced
as many times per week as necessary to meet their needs.
Other Issues:
Schools and businesses may be required to construct enclosures as per City Code.
Janitorial staff will need~to clean up milk and soda spills around the containers.
Contaminants may cause the program to end at a particular location
