• 0 2014 Solid Waste Management Plan Highlights for calendar year 2013 include: • 11,370 tons of dual stream recyclables were collected by SWDD through curbside recycling and drop-off at the CCCs and MRF • 56,094 tons of vegetative waste (yard trash and land clearing debris) were processed by INEOS for use as landfill cover or to produce renewable energy using gasification and fermentation technologies. • 14,694 tons of vegetative debris were mulched by the SWDD contracted mulching vendor for beneficial use, and 2,492 tons of dirt and sod were used onsite at the landfill (combined total of 17,186 tons). • 6,982 tons of clean concrete were also used at the landfill. • Approximately 1,638 tons of other types of waste, such as tires, white goods, scrap metal, used oil, electronics, and HHW,.were recycled by SWDD. More than 20,000 tons of materials, or approximately 18% of all waste diverted from disposal, were recycled by entities or through programs outside of SWDD. The 2013 diversion rate for all diverted wastes is 45%. Yard waste diverted to INEOS did not receive full recycling credit from the State, yielding an adjusted recycling rate (per FDEP) of 37%. 8. Waste Diversion and Processing to Increase Recycling Rate A three-phase approach is proposed by KCI to assist the County in further evaluating and implementing those opportunities determined to be most viable in helping the County chart a pathway toward achieving the 75% recycling goal. A key factor in the success of this approach is the joint cooperation between the County and municipalities. Development of any future recycling or waste management facilities, whether publicly or privately funded, will require a commitment of tonnage. Therefore, a critical first step in this process is updating and executing an ILA with each municipality. Isis NEEL— SCHAFFER ES -11 167
