o o o · Roofing Materials - Can be used as an aggregate in asphalt pavements. Must be free of asbestos. · White Goods - Separated at the curbside and transported to the TDSRS. Freon to be extracted and recycled while putrid waste will be removed and disposed of. White good to be transported to recycling facility. Woody Material- Material can be reduced by grinding and chipping. The mulch can be used as a fuel in biomass boilers/cogeneration plants, as a soil enhancement in agricultural applications and commercial resale (composting). Mulch used in agricultural applications must be free of paper, plastics and dirt (ten percent or less contamination).There is a benefit to solely reducing the material as it has a decreased impact on the landfill. The material can also be burned and the ash utilized for soil enhancement in agronomic applications. Further, mulch can be used in land applications as a stabilizer or for erosion control. · Tires - Segregate tires at curbside for transport to TDSRS for storing. Transport bulk to recycling facility for use as material in asphalt, floor tiles, hoses, landscaping material, playground material and countless other applications. Material can be segregated at the curbside, residential drop off sites and at a TDSRS. Source segregation is key to avoiding contamination and increasing product marketability. Curbside Segregation - A key component to maximize source segregation at the curbside is for the governing authority to provide Public Service Announcements (PSA) to the residents. The "Picking Up the Pieces" illustration and guideline provided in the Operations Documents & Diagrams section is ideal for educating residents in the different types of debris and how to segregate those at the curbside. Some HHW may be recyclable (e.g. paint, batteries, compressed gas) while other materials have to be disposed of pursuant to local, state and federal law. · Debris Segregation Crews - AshBritt will deploy debris segregation crews (DSO), when applicable and necessary, to maximize curbside segregation. AshBritt has the capability to segregate debris at the curbside. Hand salvaging will yield more recyclable materials, although time required to do so may be more than traditional processes. By using specialized trailers with individual bins, HHW can be collected curbside and kept out of the waste stream. · Residential Drop-ojfSites - By providing residents with a drop off site, debris can be more easily segregated with bins and containers for specific materials. This also reduces transportation expenses while removing hazardous material from the curbside. This supplements other programs and also reduces transportation expenses while providing pro-active residents the ability to clean up on their schedule. This also tends to enhance public relations by providing residents with alternatives. Sufficient QC monitors would be stationed at the sites to ensure that only eligible debris would be accepted. · TDSRS Segregation - Segregating debris at the curbside will significantly improve the overall reduction capability at the TDSRS. By further segregating debris at the TDSRS, resources can be concentrated in the segregation process. The segregation is performed in a location that is away from the general public and can be customized for expediting this process. Although segregation is more difficult to achieve as the debris has been co-mingled by the time it arrives at the TDSRS certain materials can be recycled prior to ultimate disposal (e.g. ferrous and non-ferrous metals, etc.) Spotters can be used at the TDSRS but only as a last line of defense. Once the easily salvageable material has been removed, the remaining debris is reduced and brought to a landfill for disposal. To improve the efficiency of source separation and overall recycling success of the recovery, AshBritt will assist the City with a Public Information campaign that encourages residents to properly place and separate debris at the curb for contractor pickup.
