3 We have a problem... Our landfill site is filling up fast Two possible ways to deal with this: 1. reduce the amount of waste going in 2. expand the site so it can accept more waste We need to use both methods to keep costs under control This meeting is to introduce these options and hear from you

4 Members of the Waste Management Committee Mayor Garry Gruntz, Chairman Councillor John Rutledge Councillor Sheldon Keller Member of the public John Gulland Clerk-Treasurer Michelle Mantifel

5 Committee Meetings to Date The Committee has met regularly since August 2015 One of the meetings was a site visit at the Brudenell waste site with the Township s waste consultants Jp2g The committee developed a 19 page draft by-law, based on study of nine similar bylaws from other municipalities

6 The BLR Waste Sites There are three waste sites in the Township, two of which are transfer stations: The Raglan Transfer Station The Lyndoch Transfer Station And one landfill site The Brudenell Waste Site (Landfill)

11 Expansion of the Brudenell Landfill Site Our waste consultants Jp2g are working on an application to expand the landfill area The facilities and waste mound now occupy about two acres The mound height and area will soon reach the limit of our license The Township owns 24 acres of land at the site so there is room for expansion

12 Useful Research Quinte Waste Solutions and Stewardship Ontario report: The Use of Clear Bags for Garbage as a Waste Diversion Strategy: Background Research on Clear Garbage Bag Programs across North America Interviews with officials of several municipalities that have successful programs

13 Other Helpful Sources The recently formed Rural Mayor s Forum of Eastern Ontario Mayor Gruntz is a founding participant Several of the 15 municipalities are further along in their waste management planning Other mayors have been helpful and supportive of our efforts

14 New Waste Site Access Cards New waste site access cards will be issued when the new program begins.

15 What is Diversion? Anything that is recycled is diverted from the landfill The Township earns a small amount of revenue from some recycled material Everything that goes into the landfill is a direct cost to the Township Therefore, a higher diversion rate will reduce BLR s waste management costs

16 BLR s Diversion Rate The diversion rate in BLR Township is estimated to be 25%, which is very low Townships that use the clear bag program as an incentive to recycle report diversion rates over 50% Our goal is to at least double our diversion rate

17 When We Recycle, We Save Money because: 1. Less labour and fuel is needed to transport, compact, level and cover the waste 2. Lower engineering costs to manage the impacts of more landfilled garbage 3. Some recycling produces revenue all landfilling has a cost

18 Recycling Using Blue Boxes You ll need at least two boxes. You can buy them at the BLR Township office for $7.50 each

19 We Can Recycle These Box #1 Paper/Fibre newspaper, magazines catalogues, flyers boxboard/paperboard: cereal boxes, tissue boxes, toilet paper rolls office/computer paper cardboard, paper bags, paper pet food bags Household Wastes Box #2 Metal Glass and Plastics tin cans, aluminum cans, pie plates, trays, foil wrap glass food and beverage bottles plastic food and drink bottles and tubs drained and cleaned with lids off - look for one of these numbers on the bottom: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6 and #7 milk/juice/ice cream cartons film plastic: grocery bags and outer wraps from cases of water bottles, toilet paper and paper towels; IN A BAG OF BAGS
