1 Developing a Zero Waste Implementation Plan, Montgomery County, MD 2014 MRN/SWANA-MidAtlantic Annual Conference Maryland Recycling Network Bill Davidson, DSWS, June 19, 2014
2 Key Thoughts Eye on the Ball (Sustainability) Systems View / Systems Approach Complementary Goals / Technologies
3 Sustainability IPCC Definition, Sustainable Development : Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Paraphrase: Don t make life more difficult for our kids.
4 Sustainability How do we know what will or will not make life more difficult for future generations? The knowing, itself, is difficult! e.g. Then I beheld all the work, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yea he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
5 Sustainability The world is a complex place
6 Sustainability The world is a complex place (system) Material and Energy Life-Cycle Flows and the Associated GHG Sources and Sinks Source:
7 Sustainability The world is a complex place Managing for Sustainability Requires a Systems Approach (Not stove pipe thinking) Consider three types of societal goals: Environmental Energy Economic Are these three societal goals fundamentally antithetical?
8 Sustainability Are these goals Fundamentally Antithetical? Environment Energy Economic
9 What do you think? Are these goals Fundamentally Antithetical? Environment Energy Economic
10 Sustainability Fundamentally Antithetical? Environment Energy Economic
11 Sustainability Fundamentally Antithetical? Consider How We Know What We Know: Frameworks of Explanation Technical Disciplines Language & Terminology Institutional Stove Pipes Environment Economic Energy
12 Sustainability Energy Environment Economics My Personal View: If these goals are fundamentally antithetical, then we are cooked. Carry out actions that appear to achieve with shared goals. When we see apparent fundamental conflicts among these goals, we need to work to clean our glasses.

14 The Solid Waste Management Hierarchy Reduce Reuse Recycle Waste-to-Energy Landfilling
15 Municipal Sold Waste (MSW) MSW is not homogeneous (not like water) MSW is heterogeneous MSW is everything in our culture Hey, that s a lot to manage! MSW comes into our hands with little of our say as to how it was manufactured or what is it comprised of We look upstream and lament, Waste is a design flaw.
16 MSW Composition For further details see References page on DSWS Website.
17 Basis for composition of disposed waste is the 2012 waste sorts reconciled to systemwide CY12 disposed and recycled tonnages*.

Potential and Encouraged: Markets vary for these materials. Although not subject to the disposal ban, recycling is encouraged for all materials for which there are available markets. No Markets: No existing or anticipated markets for these materials. 17

Full Cost Accounting Revenues = Expenses (No General Fund Support) Separate Fee for Each Service $250 $200 $150 $100 $50 $ Disposal Fee (on Tax Bill After 8-93) Base System Benefit Charge Incremental System Benefit Charge (Recycling) Refuse Collection *Beginning August 31,1993, haulers are no longer charged a Tipping Fee. Instead, homeowner pre-pays the Tipping Fee in Solid Waste Charge on property bill.
22 Environmental Aspects of WTE Thoroughly Assessed
23
24 Zero Waste Definition: is an ambitious, long-term goal to nearly eliminate solid waste sent to landfills and incinerators. - MD Draft Plan
25 In Montgomery County No MSW delivered to the County winds up using any permitted airspace in any landfill. Could there be better uses for the solid matter remaining after energy recovery? Of course! Should we endeavor to maximize recycling? Of course, and especially for the materials that we have banned from the trash cans. Meanwhile, Waste-to-Energy (WTE) should not be equated with disposal. WTE is an integral part of a systems approach to solid waste management system consistent with the goal of sustainability.
