15, B. 5. CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING AT IRC
LANDFILL
Director Mehta reported that in January 2010 , the State adopted legislation requiring
Construction & Demolition (C &D) debris to be separated from the Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW) at the landfill, and the County has until November 1 , 2011 to implement the requirement.
He described the proposed six-month pilot program whereby the landfill contractor, Republic
Services (a/k/a Treasure Coast Refuse) , would extract metal , cardboard, and concrete from the
waste stream for recycling purposes , for $ 16 . 49 per ton, with a credit of $ 13 . 99 per ton for all
processed material recycled offsite, and a 10% sharing of revenues on the recyclables . He
explained that according to the amount recycled, the County ' s costs would increase (less
recycling) or decrease (more recycling) ; thus, SWDD staff was recommending that Republic
Services strive for a recycling rate of at least 15 % . Director Mehta thereafter presented staff' s
recommendation to approve the six-month pilot project for C &D recycling, with staff to bring
back an amendment to Republic Services ' contract at a future date .

Director Mehta addressed the Board ' s comments and questions regarding the 15 %
minimum recycling requirement; the possibility of issuing a Request for Proposal for a private
facility to undertake the C&D recycling ; and whether the concrete debris could be stored in a
separate area for future use .
Todd Westover, Republic Services of Florida, assured the Board he would do his utmost
to recycle the maximum amount; however, he could not sanction the 15 % minimum recycling
requirement due to the unpredictability of the recycling stream .
Administrator Baird stressed that the 15 % minimum recycling requirement was necessary
in order to control SWDD rates . He revealed that he had been unaware of Mr. Westover ' s view
until today, and suggested that the Board reconsider the subject matter on Tuesday, November 1 ,
2011 .
�I
Director Mehta advised that if the Board wanted to table this matter at this time , he would
request a permit requirement extension from the FDEP .
Vice Chairman Wheeler suggested that the Board reconsider this item at the first meeting
of November 2011 .
ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Wheeler, SECONDED
by Commissioner Davis, the Board unanimously
TABLED this item until the regularly scheduled Board of
County Commission meeting of November 1 , 2011 .
