CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILITY ERVICES FROM: RONALD R. BROOKS, MANAGER SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRIC - SUBJECT: MANDATORY SOLID WASTE COLLECTION With the mandate of the 1988 Solid Waste Act to recycle 300 of Indian River County's solid waste stream by 1994, the District had a recycling study performed by Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. With that study, combined with the experience of other counties and the experience of communities in other states, it was recom- mended that the District adopt mandatory solid waste collection with the eventual implementation of a commingled doorstep recy- cling program. It was determined that this type of program was, -to date, the most successful recycling program that would meet the mandated 30% recycling of the solid waste stream by 1994. In addition to meeting the recycling mandates,' it is essential that the District provide an equitable and environmentally sound means of solid waste collection to reduce illegal dumping and accommodate the waste service needs of the County. ANALYSIS District staff has prepared a proposed solid waste ordinance that incorporates mandatory waste collection as well as solid waste management and permitting requirements needed to control the waste management operations within the District. The ordi- nance also provides for •a varied means of supporting the District's operations and allows the District Board to adopt several procedures for -the operation and financial support of the District. This proposed ordinance basically adopts mandatory waste collec- tion and several permitting requirements that gives the Solid Waste Disposal District, through approval by the District Board, the authority and responsibility to implement the mandatory col- lection and fund the operations as deemed appropriate and neces- sary. The actual implementation of the mandatory waste collec- tion and accompanying funding procedures will all be implemented through resolution and contractual agreements, all of which are subject to the approval and execution by the S.W.D.D.
