He voiced <br /> concerns about how the SWDD would monitor the recycling tonnages, since <br /> the County's recycling is provided by Waste Management Inc. of Florida. Vice <br /> Chairman Solari requested that staff monitor the Town's recycling. <br /> Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke stated that staff could evaluate the <br /> material coming into the County's collection facility, and/or perform a waste <br /> composition study. Managing Director of the SWDD Himanshu Mehta <br /> mentioned that the SWDD's provision of single-stream recycling carts to the <br /> Town's residents would be a significant step forward. <br /> Additional discussion ensued between the Board and County Attorney Dylan <br /> Reingold about ensuring that the Town's recycling efforts are consistent with <br /> the State's 75%recycling goal. Attorney Reingold noted that staffs focus had <br /> been to make sure that the Town would be providing long-term recycling <br /> services. <br /> • <br /> County Administrator Jason Brown informed the Board that both the Interlocal <br /> Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding contemplate that the Town <br /> will participate in the County's next rebid for recycling services in 2022, and <br /> that may be the point at which this issue is re-examined. <br /> Indian River County Florida Page 2 <br />
