3 3 The Road to Reduction Achieving Allen County's goal of reducing waste through solid waste management. The Allen County Solid Waste Management District is compelled by the State of Indiana to reduce the contribution of waste to the landfill within its jurisdiction. The District provided recycling programs, formed partnerships and educational outreach efforts to successfully divert 148,035 tons of waste from the landfill in 2016.
4 4 Programming The District offers community-wide recycling programs to Allen County residents. Electronics Recycling Tire Amnesty Day Battery Recycling Yard Waste Tox-Away Day Mercury Reduction Food Waste Reduction Business Waste Assessment Partnerships Area businesses and municipalities serve as District partners and provide unique recycling and reduction opportunities. Batteries Plus Bulbs Citilink Connolly's Do It Best Hardware Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Grabill Do It Best Hardware Hire's Automotive Kroger Omnisource Allen County Board of Commissioners Republic Recycling Sam's Club Umber's Do It Best Hardware City of Fort Wayne Town of Leo- Cedarville Town of Monroeville City of New Haven City of Woodburn
5 5 Electronics Recycling As electronic devices become less expensive people are upgrading more often. Due to the difficult nature of processing and recycling e-waste the District had to slightly increase fees during The District contracts with a certified de-manufacturing vendor to dispose of unwanted e-waste. 949,000 lbs. of electronics were diverted from the landfill. OmniSource is a District Partner which serves as a drop-off point for e-waste.
6 6 Tire Management Program An abundance of scrap tires sit in stockpiles across Indiana. These tire piles are unsightly, are breeding grounds for pests, and can potentially fuel dangerous fires. The District's annual Tire Amnesty Day, along with ongoing efforts with the Fort Wayne Street and Allen County Highway Departments, allow residents the opportunity to rid themselves of used tires in a responsible manner. These joint efforts allowed for the proper disposal of 131 tons of tires in Tires Collected tons Tire Amnesty Day Nearly 259 households were able to utilize The District's Annual Tire Amnesty Day. A total of over 18 tons were collected
7 7 Yard Waste Management Program The District offers financial assistance to two large-scale composting facilities. The facility at 6231 MacBeth Road is located in southwest Allen County. The northeast compost site is located at the City of Fort Wayne's Bio- Solids, Lime and Yard Waste Recycling facility at 5510 Lake Avenue. The District provides both sites with grinding services with the tub grinder rotated on a schedule. Nearly 11,000 tons of material was brought into the compost sites in Christmas trees were collected at nine locations throughout the county.
8 8 Tox-Away Day Household Hazardous Waste contains Flammable, Corrosive, Explosive, or Toxic materials. These can pose serious threats to the environment when disposed of improperly. The District's Annual Tox-Away Day offers residents an opportunity to responsibly discard these items. The District served over 1,000 Allen County households during this event. Batteries Collected 5,157 lbs HHW collected 39,044 lbs Automotive Fluids 4,953 lbs
9 9 Bulbs and Battery Reduction Mercury is a naturally occurring element that can cause damage to the central nervous system if exposure occurs. It is commonly found in fluorescent bulbs, batteries, and thermometers. The District is responsible for collecting and processing over 183,000 feet of fluorescent bulbs, or 35 miles. Batteries contain heavy metals which become hazardous to human health if leached into the soil and groundwater. District staff developed partnerships with local businesses to offer recycling for many different types of household batteries. The District collected 12.6 tons of household batteries in 2016.
10 10 Educational Outreach The "A Bench for Caps" program requires schools to collect 400 pounds of caps. The District then transports them to Green Tree Plastics in Evansville which turns them into a bench. Students from Study Elementary and Huntertown Elementary both learned important lessons about recycling through the program. Study Elementary Bench Presentation 2016 Eagle Marsh Earth Day 2016 District staff spoke with residents about waste at several events throughout the year. Many people were excited to learn about waste reduction. Education on waste reduction is an ongoing process.
11 11 Diversion Credit Program Diversion Credit is a subsidy program adopted to support the value of commodities on certain recyclable materials when their value significantly decreases. When market prices drop on these items they are at risk of being landfilled as opposed to recycled. The Diversion Credit Program enables material recycling processing companies to be able to process the approved materials at a minimum loss or zero gain to prevent landfilling. In ,546 tons of material were diverted from the landfill by the District's Diversion Credit Program.
12 12 Food Waste Allen County Solid Waste Management District is dedicated to reducing food waste in our community. In October 2016 the District held their first networking event in an effort to bring awareness to and educate our community about food waste entering the landfill. One of the first steps has been to facilitate a group discussion among members of the community. Local restaurants, farmers, nonprofit organizations, and citizens formed relationships at the October meeting and discussed food waste reduction.
13 13 Excellence in Waste Reduction Awards Each year the District hosts an awards ceremony to honor local businesses and organizations who are actively working to reduce their waste stream. Awards were given out for four major categories. Citilink won the Director's Award for reusing benches. GM won the Closing the Loop Award for re-purposing 28 tons of alumina oxide. The 3R Award for a commercial business was given to Jai Juice for offering incentives to return jars. The 3R Award for non profit was given to Community Harvest Food Bank for completely using all their resources.
14 14 Community Recycling Sites The District has six Community Recycling Sites throughout the county offering recycling drop off. The program is especially helpful to residents without access to curbside pick up. The sites accepted 534 tons of recyclable material in total. Leo-Cedarville 13% Percentage of Total Material Accepted by location Southgate 21% StellhornVillage 11% Monroeville 11% Sam's Club 28% Smith Road 16%
