Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />Himanshu H. Mehta, PE, Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) <br />Prepared By: Jill Brown, Recycling Specialist, SWDD <br />Sue Flak, Recycling Education and Marketing Coordinator, SWDD <br />Subject: Residential Paper Shredding Event on November 16, 2024 <br />Description: <br />The Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) and WM, Inc. of Florida (WM) will be partnering with Southeast <br />Secure Shredding (SSS) to host the Fall Residential Paper Shredding Event on Saturday, November 16, <br />2024. All residents of Indian River County are invited to bring up to three boxes/bags of paper (up to 35 <br />lbs. each) to be shredded and recycled. There is no charge to the public, but participation is limited to one <br />drop-off per vehicle per household. The event will be held from 7 am to 11 am at SSS located at 3910 U.S. <br />Highway 1 in Vero Beach. <br />Analysis: <br />SSS is charging $7 per vehicle. However, there is no anticipated event cost to SWDD, as WM will be <br />covering the cost per the attached Contract Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the County <br />Administrator and Kasey C. Godwin, District Manager for Waste Management. <br />SWDD is responsible for the advertising for these types of events and, per the MOU, is responsible for any <br />additional costs over the annual $16,000 allocation by Waste Management. Our last event on April 27, <br />2024, resulted in 529 cars and a diversion of 7.5 tons of paper. <br />Funding: <br />The funding for the Fall Residential Paper Shredding Event is available in the SWDD/CC & <br />RECYC/ADVERTISING/EXCEPT LEGAL account number 41125534-034810. This account is funded <br />through user assessment fees; the anticipated cost for advertising this event is $8,000. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />SWDD/CC & RECYC/ADVERTISING/EXCEPT LEGAL <br />41125534-034810 <br />$8,000 <br />4e3c24fb-c73c-4d4e-881b-dedfca84a36c Page <br />
