12 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND A mayoral subcommittee was tasked with evaluating and recommending a cost effective, solid waste management program inclusive of curbside recycling collection, for all city residents. Recent labor negotiations have granted the City of Lockport the option to allow privatized waste hauling within the City. The subcommittee focused upon creating a cost effective, strategic hauling plan that diverted waste from disposal and offered full curbside recycling opportunities to residents. The City of Lockport recognizes the removal and reduction of certain materials from the solid waste stream will decrease the flow of waste to landfills, aid in the conservation of valuable resources, and reduce the costs associated with managing waste. Methods of solid waste management emphasizing source reduction, reuse and recycling are essential in Lockport for long-term preservation of public health, economic prosperity, and environmental quality. Consistent with the subcommittee s goals of identifying a cost effective hauling program that emphasizes recycling and waste reduction, the committee proposed the City pursue a Variable Refuse Cart/User Fee program that includes residential curbside recycling. Such a program declares the imposition of solid waste disposal costs to each generator on the basis of volume disposed, providing a necessary incentive to reduce the generation of solid waste by recycling and waste reduction. This final Request for Proposals (RFP) is designed to complement the City s transition to a Variable Cart/ Solid Waste User Fee program. It is expected that the proposed methodology will complement a curbside recycling program and consequently increase diversion of recyclable, reusable and compostable materials from the disposal steam. The implementation of a limited refuse capacity program is expected to also promulgate intangible benefits such as vermin/rodent control, aesthetics, composting participation and increased environmental awareness. 2.1 Current Refuse and Recycling Collection Operations The current refuse and recycling program is managed and implemented by the City of Lockport Highway and Parks Department. Daily refuse collection involves deployment of five (5) refuse collection trucks per collection district within the City. On each collection day, separate 1-ton pick-up trucks collect cardboard and newspaper placed at the curbside (Cardboard and newspaper are then taken to the Highway garage compactor). Commingled curbside recyclables collection is not available. Currently, residents utilize a single commingle container drop-off location within the city. Detailed maps of each collection route, inclusive of zoning parcel breakdown and estimated collection stops, is included as Appendix A. Average daily collection stops are estimated at 1,36 stops (Table 2.1). A median of.1 tons of refuse was collected from a study period extending from February 2010 through February Refuse collection peaked in June 2010, at 50.6 tons and was lowest in January 2010, at 31.8 tons. Data quantification during the annual study period is included as Appendix B. 11 P age

13 Data assembled from years 2000 through 2009 indicates Lockport annually disposed an average of 11,655 tons of refuse. Annual recyclables collection coordinated by the City, since 2007, has resulted in the collection of 500 tons of cardboard/newspaper and approximately 30 tons of commingled recyclables annually. Independent of refuse collection, the city also collects brush, leaves and yard debris for composting or use as a bulking agent at the City compost facility. Annual compostable collection estimates for years 2009 and 2010 range between 750 tons and 1,200 tons, respectively. The City will continue to provide a Yard Waste collection program. In summary, over the study period, average annual per capita waste disposal rates of household refuse equaled 3.2-lbs. Average per capita diversion (includes curbside cardboard/newspaper, yard waste, and drop-off bins) equaled 0.25-lbs or 7% (Table 2.2). 12 P age

If you have questions or concerns regarding the administration of this policy or a complaint regarding Equal Employment Opportunity, you are encouraged to bring those issues to your immediate supervisor or the City of Lockport's Civil Service Department. Adverse action will not be taken against an employee because he or she, in good faith, reports or participates in the investigation of a violation of this policy. The City of Lockport's commitment to this policy includes making reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities, to enable them to perform the essential functions of their jobs, unless to do so poses an undue hardship for the City or a direct threat to health or safety. Employees with disabilities should make the City aware of their need for an accommodation. The City will work with each individual to define their job-related needs and to try to reasonably accommodate those needs. Frequently, when a qualified individual with a disability requests a reasonable accommodation, the appropriate accommodation is easily agreed upon. While an employee may recommend a specific accommodation, the ultimate decision as to whether a particular accommodation will be made rests with the City. If more than one accommodation will enable the individual to perform his/her job, the company reserves the right to choose which accommodation it will make.
