6 Overview of Today s Webinar There is a worldwide EPR movement 32 states have EPR laws in place All Canadian provinces Over 30 European countries Most focus is on producers but all parties make changes, including local government January 31,

7 Questions for Today s Speakers What factors into local government s decision to change its materials management strategies under EPR, or to get out of the business completely? How does local government relinquish control to producers while maintaining its regulatory and oversight role? What are the fears? What are the benefits? Are the US and Canada the same?

8 Our experience with Wisconsin s first producer responsibility law

9 County is Responsible Unit under WI Mandatory Recycling Law Coordinates residential recycling education and processing for 25 municipalities with <275,000 people Publicly-owned, privately operated MRF Dual stream curbside program

10 Household and Agricultural hazwaste program via contract 4 permanent locations & 4 one-day events Provide processing of yard waste for municipalities via contract

11 VALUE- Regional purchasing consortium- RFP to collect & recycle computers only Drop off sites and municipal offices Selected WI company with good environmental record Cost 22 cents/pound More than 20 municipalities Over 587 tons/year

12 Host community provided site supervision County paid for processing with $40,000 funding from landfill expansion agreement 3 collection sites- any County resident could use any site County promoted program

13 First producer responsibility law in WI passed Oct Jan registration of manufacturers June registration of Collectors and Recyclers Sept landfill ban on covered electronics

14 Vendor provided 5 cents/pound revenue County worked with trash haulers to educate Added 5 municipal drop off sites

15 $60,000 $40,000 Waukesha County Computer/Electronics Recycling Cost/revenue and Tons Collected Municipal collection sites $20,000 Cost/revenue $0 $20,000 *June 2010 began expanded e waste collection under E cycle WI program. Added 5 collection sites in * Tons $40, $60, $80,000 Tons Cost Revenue 0

16 Turned program over to municipalities that operate drop off sites They now receive revenue County continues to promote/educate

17 New VALUE RFB this spring Contractor will not extend agreement System too costly, not efficient

18 E-Cycle Wisconsin Year 2 Eligible Electronic Devices Pounds collected by collector type 16% 45% 21% Source: WDNR_ % Retailer Non-profit Government For-profit

20 5 Ways We re Transitioning to EPR: Vancouver, British Columbia s Experience (so far) Product Stewardship Institute Webinar May 9, 2012 Monica Kosmak Zero Waste Planning Program Manager City of Vancouver, British Columbia 22

21 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

22 Host of the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games

23 Our goal: To be the greenest city in the world by 2020

24 Province of British Columbia s vision for EPR

25 Current EPR programs in Recycling Regulation Packaging All beverage containers except milk (1971, 1997) Electronics & Electrical Equipment Computers, TVs, printers, peripherals (2006) Audio-visual (2010) Cell phones (2010) Fluorescent lights (2010) Small appliances (2011) Batteries (2011) Thermostats (2011) Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms (2011) Automotive Tires (1991, 2007) Lead-acid batteries (1991, 2011) Used oil, filters, empty oil containers (1992, 2003) Gasoline (1997) Antifreeze, empty antifreeze containers (2011) Hazardous waste Paint and empty containers (1994) Pesticides (1997) Solvents / flammable liquids (1997) Medications (1997)

26 Future EPR programs in regulation Electronics & Electrical Equipment (2012) Large appliances IT & telecommunications equipment Lighting equipment Electric tools Electric toys, leisure & sports equipment Monitoring & control instruments Medical devices Automatic dispensers Packaging & Printed Paper (2014) All packaging generated by residences and municipal streetscapes, parks and public spaces

27 Canada-wide Action Plan for EPR Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment Phase 1: Packaging (2014) Printed materials (2014) Mercury containing lamps (2010) Other mercury-containing products (2010) Electronics and electrical products ( ) Household hazardous and special wastes (1997) Automotive products ( ) Phase 2: Carpet Furniture Textiles Building products Large appliances (2012)

28 Over 60% of Vancouver garbage could eventually be covered by EPR programs EPR NEEDS TO BE PLANNED (8%) ROCK, SOIL, FINE PARTICLES (4%) EPR 2017 (13%) COMPOSTABLES (33%) Compostable paper 6% EPR (6%) EXISTING EPR (4%) WOOD - EPR 2017 (19%) RECYCLABLES - EPR 2014 (13%)

42 Making the Change: Local Government Perspectives on the Transition to EPR Don Maglienti Addison County Solid Waste Management District

43 Addison County Solid Waste Management District Transfer Station in Middlebury, Vermont 19 Member Towns ~31,000 people Smallest town just over 200 people

44 Vermont s EPR Experience Dry Cell Batteries (1991) Mercury Automobile Switches (2006) Mercury Thermostats (2008) Electronic Waste (2010) Mercury Lamps (2011)

45 Mercury Thermostats Initially subsidized cost of disposal Thermostat Recycling Corporation in 2000 Established $5 bounty 100 to 150 units recycled per year

46 Electronic Waste ACSWMD began collecting E waste in 1999 We mandated separation by ordinance in 2006 We collected year round, 6 days/week We didn t subsidize, except for labor VT E waste law enacted in 2010 Free collection started July 1, collection sites in Addison County

47 E waste receiving area Redesign this year to accommodate new volumes

48 Changes with E waste EPR Managing a higher volume Definitions of covered devices and entities Sorting = revenue Data security outreach Consolidation between collection locations New data tracking system Non member towns

49

50 Statewide per capita (1 st year) collection goal, July June 30, 2012 (covered devices only): 5.5 lbs Estimated ACSWMD per capita for calendar year 2011: ~8 lbs

51 Success! Greater convenience Statewide Greater public awareness Statewide VT passed 3.4 million lb goal with 3 months still remaining Allowance for reuse Estimated savings to ACSWMD residents of approximately $60,000 in 1 st full year of program (by end of June 2012)

52 Mercury Lamps Covered based on quantity 10 or fewer No limit on CFLs Includes businesses Sustainable funding for retailer take back

53 60,000 50,000 Fluorescent Lamps (linear ft) Collected by ACSWMD 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,

54 Preparing for Mercury Lamp EPR Collection site consolidation Special events like HHW collections Pin based CFLs vs screwtype? Methods for tracking covered lamps

55 Reflections on EPR in Vermont Residents are catching on to EPR and asking their towns to collect more materials. Transfer stations and recycling drop off operators receiving more specialized training VT is a small state relatively few planning entities for manufacturers to deal with EPR saves municipalities $$, saves resources, and reduces toxicity of waste stream

56 Paint? Hazardous Waste (lbs) Collected by ACSWMD Aerosols Pesticides Oily Debris Flammable Liquids Paint (Oil/Latex)

57 Tires? Tires (lbs) Collected by ACSWMD
