Note: The recycling numbers are only influenced slightly by the 1+1+1 pilot from FY 12 and represent a
composite of residential recycling, commercial recycling, scrap metal recycling, and yard waste. Most of these
numbers are provided to us by FDEP annually from certified recyclers. We track the yard waste internally. The
trend in the rise or fall of any of these elements affects our projections. Yard waste totals are on a downward
trend so that affects our revenue projections in that we are showing 17,000 tons at $40.70 per ton.
We are projecting $216,000 in revenue from the sale of recyclables as part of the solid waste collection contract,
but we are showing on the revenue side in solid waste where it seems more appropriate.
The equivalent “Equivalent Value Per Ton Recycling” shown at $74.99 is the result of adding Recycling
Revenues and Cost Avoidance then dividing by Recycling tonnages. The only problem is some of those
tonnages are accounted for through sources, scrap dealers, chain store cardboard recycling, that do not generate
revenue for us.
Recycling revenue projections in the internal budget worksheet are based on the following:
• Gate rate for 17,000 tons of yard waste $691,900.00
• Labor reimbursed from CO-OP and other Departments $41,000.00
• Recycling revenue from W&S billing, recyclables floor rate $735,133.00
• Revenue from other departments, metal recycling, and small $42,000.00
Businesses as conditionally small quantity generators (CESQG)
TOTAL $1,510,033.00
