Provide processing of yard waste 4. Provide collection/drop-off of white goods and waste tires 5. Provide weekly drop-off of HHW for local residents 6. Provide weekly drop-off of CESQG waste for small businesses 7. Conduct mobile HHW collections in ten neighboring counties 8. Increase participation and raise public awareness concerning County Programs 9. Increase employee proficiency 10. Research new technologies and systems related to recycling and HHW management that can improve operational efficiencies and costs PERFORMANCE MEASURES: Actual Estimated Adopted Performance Measures FY11/12 FY12/13 FY13/14 Full Time Employees 7 7 7 Total Recycling Expenditures 1,202,473 1,229,404 1,732,857* Input Total Recycling Tons 56,255 40,270 42,000 Total Residential Customers 30,250 30,250 30,250 Total Tons Generated (MSW+Recycling) 145,894 146,942 149,000 Output Total Recycling Revenues $1,497,133 $1,508,000 $1,510,033 Cost avoidance (disposal) $2,110,125 $1,540,730 $1,639,680 Efficiency Equivalent Value Per Ton Recycling $64.12 $75.70 $74.99 % Recycling Cost Recovery (Revenues Effectiveness 125% 125% 87% divided by Expenses) % Recycling 38% 25% 28% % Residential Complaints .1% .1% .1% *This number is considerably higher than previous years due to the replacement of much needed equipment and the current decision to contract grinding yard waste resulting in a $448,100 increase over last year. 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. Our Recycling revenue projections in our 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
