2006 Cans For Cash City Recycling Challenge: 82 Million Aluminum Cans Recycled, 10 Cities Recognized

By: Susan Jarvis

On November 15th, America Recycles Day, The United States Conference of Mayors, Novelis, Inc. and Keep America Beautiful, Inc. announced the winners of the 2006 Cans For Cash City Recycling Challenge. For the third year, the program challenged like-sized cities to compete against each other in aluminum can collection for monetary awards and to encourage recycling. During two weeks in September, more than 30 cities collected over 2.4 million pounds of aluminum cans which equates to over 82 million used beverage cans.

“Friendly, spirited competitions like the City Recycling Challenge bring city officials, communities and schools together to help promote recycling,” said Kevin Greenawalt, President, Novelis North America. “Working together, the goal is to foster efforts to promote the value of aluminum can recycling and help cities sustain their local efforts.”

“We are proud that our Cans for Cash Program helped jump-start existing programs and redirected many communities to focus on a common goal," said Peter Spatara, MWMA 2006 President, Director of Public Works, City of West Palm Beach. “Mayors leveraged their relationships with community and civic organizations, partnered with schools, and linked the can recycling challenge with community improvement and service projects. Participating cities should be excited and proud that they contributed to the recycling of more than 2 million pounds of aluminum cans."

The winners of the $5,000 awards for the most aluminum cans recycled are:
• Division One (population 250,000+) Milwaukee, WI* - 1,147,084 pounds, Mayor Tom Barrett
• Division Two (population 100,00-249,999) Fontana, CA - 213,515 pounds, Mayor Mark Nuami
• Division Three (population 50,000-99,999) Bowling Green, KY - 78,310 pounds, Mayor Elaine Walker
• Division Four (population below 50,000) Richmond, IN - 29,670 pounds, Mayor Sally Hutton
* Note: 2005 Winner in Division Category

To help mayors engage their communities in recycling and raise awareness about its importance over the long term, cities submitted innovative education and marketing ideas for an additional $5,000 award. The cities being recognized for the most innovative campaigns are as follows:

• Division One: Lexington, KY, Mayor Teresa Ann Isaac
• Division Two: Tallahassee, FL, Mayor John Marks
• Division Three: Bowling Green, KY, Mayor Elaine Walker
• Division Four: Columbus, IN, Mayor Fred Armstrong

Winning Cities that Partnered with their local Keep America Beautiful, Inc. affiliate will be awarded $5,000 and $2,500 respectively:
• Division One: Louisville, KY, Mayor Jerry E. Abramson
• Division Four: Tupelo, MS, Mayor Ed Neely

“It is fitting that Keep America Beautiful affiliates – Brightside in Louisville, Ky., and Keep Tupelo Beautiful in Tupelo, MS were recognized on America Recycles Day for rallying citizens to recycle aluminum cans,” said G. Raymond Empson, president of Keep America Beautiful. “Our affiliates across the country partner with government, business, and other organizations to encourage recycling, reduce waste and prevent litter. We were pleased to partner with Novelis and The U.S. Conference of Mayors, and to increase aluminum recycling rates through this important public education initiative.”

The aluminum can is the country’s most recycled beverage container and has been for more than 20 years. In 2005, more than 100 billion aluminum beverage cans were produced in the United States and 52% of them were recycled (a 1.0% increase over the previous year). Nearly the same amount – close to 50 billion cans or roughly $1.5 billion worth of aluminum – was lost to landfill.

Winning cities will also be recognized at The U.S. Conference of Mayor’s Winter Meeting in January.

MWMA Fall Summit Explores Illegal Dumping And Identity Theft, Cigarette Litter Prevention And Exceptional Customer Service During The Opening Session Of The 2006 Fall Summit
By: Susan Jarvis

More than 50 Solid Waste Directors, Public Works Administrators and Environmental Commissioners gathered in West Palm Beach for the Municipal Waste Management Association’s 2006 Fall Summit. After a warm welcome from MWMA President and Director of Solid Waste for the City of West Palm Beach, Pete Spatara, Tim Johnson from Serious Industries gave an overview of the relationship between illegal dumping and identity theft. Rather than discussing illegal dumping in the traditional sense, Mr. Johnson discussed the “theft of service” - illegal dumping into another person or business’ solid waste container for which they are not paying for the service. Participants in theft of service type illegal dumping include both commercial and residential users. According to Mr. Johnson, illegal dumping can be costly for cities and lead to a host of environmental problems, but can be combated by through increased education and public awareness and controlling the waste stream by locking the containers. Locking the containers can be done manually, with padlocks and chains, or automatically. Automatic locking systems decreases both the time used in the field to lock the containers and the amount of time trucks are idling.


Carrie Gallagher, Program Director for Keep America Beautiful, provided an update on KAB’s Cigarette Litter Prevention Program. Begun in 2003, KAB’s pilot program is based on extensive field testing and is a multi dimensional approach to preventing cigarette litter. In 2005, KAB developed the Guide to Cigarette Litter Prevention, an interactive resource for implementing a community program.

KAB’s program is based on four principles, enforcing anti litter laws, because”people aren’t going to stop because you ask them to,” said Ms. Gallagher, installing ash receptacles, encouraging the use of pocket ash trays and continuous public education and awareness. Keep America Beautiful has developed a series of PSA’s depicting a cigarette with the tag line “this is litter too.” The pocket ash trays “are designed to appeal to smokers senses of touch and sound,” said Ms. Gallagher. “Don’t underestimate the value of toys.”

"Something Great is About to Happen”, began Stephanie Rolle McMillan, Director of Neighborhood Services. The newly created Department of Neighborhood Services was tasked by West Palm Beach Mayor Frankel to be the “eyes and ears of the community and help residents cut through the red tape.” The department developed a mission: To be the liaison between neighborhoods and city government through effective communication, advocacy and education to ensure quality service delivery. According Ms. Rolle McMillan, they are defining neighborhoods, as inclusive components, comprised of residents, schools, businesses, agencies and faith based organizations.

The department developed a series of priorities:
Develop and maintain strong neighborhood relationships
Promote linkages between neighborhoods and city government
Provide effective advocacy for all neighborhoods
Empower neighborhoods through information, education and resources.

Ms. Rolle McMillan said her departments success is based internal collaboration with other departments developing relationships with other city employees and department heads, understanding how city services are delivered and the policy’s which guide their decision making. The Department of Neighborhood Services and The Department of Utilities teamed up to create “Talking Trash: A Guide to Waste Disposal For Residents.” The Code Enforcement Division observed a pattern of behavior and contacted Neighborhood Services to implement some solutions. The ‘Talking Trash” program is based on continuous education and updated as laws, policies and ordinances change.

Challenges And Solutions Of Climate Change

By: Brett Rosenberg

Brandon Daley, Deputy Commissioner, Energy and Air Quality, City of Chicago, provided insights into how to address the global climate change issue at the local level. Citing the Mayor’s commitment an passion about the environment, Daley discussed several integrated programs and policies the City has undertaken to reduce its impact on the earth’s climate.

Beginning several years ago as a means to alleviate the “heat island effect,” in which ambient temperatures in urban areas tend to be much higher that less developed areas, Mayor Richard M. Daley started planting trees all over the City – in neighborhoods, downtown, in parks, everywhere. The City then installed a rooftop garden on its city hall, which has reduced the energy necessary to cool the building in the summer and eased stormwater runoff. Since the city and county each occupy half of the building and the county declined to participate in the garden program, there is ample evidence of the numerous benefits of the rooftop garden.

As Daley explained, the Mayor wholeheartedly believes in leading by example. By undertaking a program and showing that it works, he then can require, or at least urge the private sector to follow. Through an important incentive program to encourage rooftop gardens and other green building strategies, the City has a “green permit process” that expedites a developer’s project through the permitting process and waives many of the associated fees for projects that meet certain environmentally sustainable criteria.

These are just part of Chicago’s 2006 Environmental Action Agenda, according to Daley. Other examples abound, such as 15 million square feet of commercial office space that has been retrofitted for more energy efficiency, saving over $8 million per year; economic development programs, such as luring a solar panel manufacturing company to town, not only to produce a beneficial product but add jobs, too; and the “Waste-to-Profit” network, in which a company’s wastes or byproducts can be used as inputs for another company’s product, thus reducing the amount of waste generated and the energy required for brand new materials.





Fall Summit Attendees Briefed On Supreme Court Hearing On Flow Control USCM And MWMA Weighing In

Rick Sapir, an attorney for Hawkins, Delafield and Wood, gave MWMA members an update of Flow Control issues, which will be heard by the Supreme Court in early 2007. Simply stated, flow control is the ability of a municipality to control the “flow” of garbage to a facility.

In 1994, The United States Supreme Court struck down a flow control ordinance in Clarkstown NY which obliged haulers to bring their waste to the Clarkstown Recycling Inc. landfill. The courts upheld the ordinance until the 2nd Court of Appeals when the US Supreme court ruled the ordinance violated the Commerce clause by ruling that garbage was considered commerce. Most state and local flow control ordinances were then overturned which paved the way for increased privatization.

The courts recently disagreed on two new cases resulting in their agreement to hear the United Haulers Association Inc. v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority. Previously, in the second circuit court decision, the judge distinguished between publicly owned and privately owned facilities. The judge ruled that there can be no discrimination against out of state waste disposal centers. The 6th circuit court, however, did not distinguish between publicly and privately owned facilities.

The United States Conference of Mayors and the Municipal Waste Management Association are filing an amicus brief outlining the Conference’s support for flow control.





Help! I Need Somebody: Emergency Preparedness, Natural Disasters And Mutual Aid Agreements

By: Susan Jarvis

While the 2006 hurricane season was uneventful, the lessons learned from previous seasons should still be taken to heart. In his presentation “Disaster Recovery and Clean Up: You Don’t have to Do it Alone”, Mike Carroll, Solid Waste Services Division Manager for the City of Orlando, gave Fall Summit Participants a primer on Hurricane Preparedness. “Who should prepare for a natural disaster?” began Mr. Carroll.
Everyone who meets any of the following criteria:
If you are within 200 miles of the Southeast coast (from the Potomac River to Texas)
If you are in a flood prone area
If you are in an area that has had tornados or severe thunderstorms
If you are in an area that has ice storms
If you are near an active fault line
If you have a danger of wildfires
If you have the potential for man-made disaster

When deciding if you need help preparing, you should ask yourself the following questions:
Are you sure you know how big a job you are facing?
Can you clean it all up in less than 2 weeks?
Can you pay for the clean up and disposal without help?

“Help can come in many forms, from planning and training to debris removal and FEMA reimbursement assistance. Help can also come from other jurisdictions, your Disaster recovery contractors, consulting firms, your annual contractors, state emergency management offices and the Federal Government, “ said Mr. Carroll.

In Orlando, there is a debris manager and field operations center and debris contractors and a monitoring firm are pre-positioned. Orlando also conducts two training exercises every year. Your goal concluded Mr. Carroll, “is to get your city back to normal as quickly as possible. “

Tom Henderson, Solid Waste Services Administrator for the District of Columbia briefed attendees on the right approach to mutual aid. “Hurricanes,” began Mr., Henderson,” are the last place to implement a mutual aid agreement. There will be widespread disaster and other local jurisdictions will have the same problems you do.” In Washington DC it took an Act of Congress to implement a mutual aid agreement between the District, Virginia and Maryland, known as the National Capitol Region. The mutual aid agreement covered police, fire and debris removal. The real key to good mutual aid agreements is training. In the National Capitol Region, all the municipalities train together, and speak the same language.”

Mark Stafford, COO of DRC Inc, provided a private sector perspective on disaster recovery. The biggest challenge for your “stand by contractors”, began Mr. Stafford, is personnel challenges. DRC has 300 stand-by contracts in Florida, procured from either an RFP or bid process. Mr. Stafford recommended municipalities look for the following things in their contractor: Capacity to meet your needs, ability to respond with adequate resources in a timely manner and financial capacity to remain liquid when federal funds are delayed. Your contractor needs to meet and sustain payroll without FEMA funds. Take a look at some of the contract templates available, and cover all your bases, which may include beach restoration and vehicle removal.

Veronica White, from the City of New Orleans briefed participants on some of the lessons she learned before, during and after Katrina. “You can never be prepared enough, “she began. Her first lesson, Be self reliant. Get a line item in your budget for disasters and maintain that funding.

Learn how to appeal. In New Orleans, over 60% of the project work was headed to be appealed. While the city was without sewage for 3-4 works, Ms. White ordered 3,000 portable toilets. FEMA declined to reimburse the city for $3million. The city won that appeal.

Finally, be patient. “Do what you can do and then start all over again”

Running On Empty? Public Works Departments Seek Renewable Energy And Alternative Fuels Options

By Brett Rosenberg

Among the countless challenges public works officials face, high fuel costs and emissions from vehicles and other municipal operations rank among the highest. Fortunately, as the MWMA’s Fall Summit’s distinguished Renewable Energy and Alternative Fuels panelists explained, options abound to improve environmental performance while reducing costs.

Ted Michaels, President of the Integrated Waste Services Association (IWSA) began by expressing that “This is a very exciting time to be in the renewable energy business.” Michaels then provided some insights into challenges and opportunities concerning municipal waste-to-energy facilities, which produce electricity from trash, thus reducing the amount of material that goes to landfills.

For starters, he noted that the Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended the renewable electricity production credit for facilities that enter service through December 31, 2007. Qualifying facilities, including municipal waste-to-energy plants, are eligible to receive a one cent credit per kilowatt hour sold, over a ten year pay-out; however, as Michaels made clear, no new waste-to-energy plants have begun operating since 1995.

What’s more, according to Michaels, the EPA’s Green Power Partnership, which aims to expand consumer choices for more environmentally benign electricity does not include waste-to-energy. One of the challenges that the industry will face during the 110th Congress is encouraging wider recognition of waste-to-energy as a viable, clean alternative to conventional power sources. As climate change policies garner wider attention and support, Michaels anticipates opportunities to convince policy makers that producing electricity from solid waste combustion can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from other sources, including landfills.

Following Michaels’ presentation, Paul Pabor, Vice President for Renewable Energy Programs at Waste Management, Inc., expanded on opportunities to capture renewable energy from landfill gas. Waste Management is currently involved in projects with 16 municipalities, co-ops and non-profit entities in which energy is created via captured landfill gas or the gas is used as feedstock for some other purpose. These projects have many advantages, including incentives for non-profits, tax credits for corporations, and expanding community relations.

In one example Pabor cited, a local paper mill was slated for closure due to high energy costs, but through a partnership with the community and landfill operator, the mill was able to buy landfill gas for power purposes at a reasonable price. The mill therefore remained open, preserving jobs and its presence in the community. As a landfill operator, Pabor said, “Our approach is to look at each site individually – if there’s a potential end-user, we’ll proceed accordingly. As far as that paper mill is concerned, you can’t get better publicity than that.”

It was clear from both Michaels’ and Pabor’s presentations that new environmental concerns and recent increases in the costs of all types of traditional energy sources have reinvigorated an often overlooked resource. Namely, trash will continue to be a viable alternative to power generation, and, therefore, a resource for municipal energy enterprises.

Brandon Daley, Deputy Commissioner of Chicago’s Energy and Air Quality Division transitioned from waste-to-energy and landfill gas to a presentation concerning fleet vehicles. Mayor Richard M. Daley (no relation to Brandon) has vigorously worked to make Chicago “the nation’s greenest city.” Through an on-going and holistic fleet modernization program the City is able to achieve demonstrable benefits through reduced fuel use and costs, and environmental quality goals.

Updating the fleet began with trash trucks because, according to Daley, “Refuse trucks are among the best place to start because they’re in the neighborhoods every day for the people to see.” So far, four units are equipped with special filters that prevent soot emissions; 76 vehicles are equipped with “oxi-cats,” which greatly reduce soot, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions; the remaining 370 units will be retrofitted with the oxi-cat equipment over the next year.

Other types of Chicago’s fleet vehicles are also getting the retrofit treatment to improve the city’s air quality. Also, the City operates hundreds of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles that operate on either natural gas or E85. The City maintains 12 fueling facilities to keep its vehicles on the road.

Although Chicago finances its fleet through several avenues, including incentives from the federal government, Tom Henderson of the Washington, DC Department of Public Works noted that the Department of Energy does not recognize hybrid vehicles as “alternative fuel” vehicles.




The Future’s So Bright: MWMA Looks At Waste To Energy
By: Susan Jarvis

Scott Shannon’s presentation “Waste To Energy: Using Superpowers for Good” took a look at how waste to energy could be used as a strategic asset in terms of energy independence. The presentation also explored how Superheroes, like Batman and Superman, have many similarities with the Waste To Energy industry. “Like superheroes Mr. Shannon began, “waste to energy facilities have special abilities, like shrinking in size. A waste to energy plant shrinks the amount of garbage ultimately requiring disposal and transforms it into usable energy.” Superheroes and Waste to energy facilities also have trademarks tools or weapons. “Green Arrow has his bow and arrow, Wonder woman has her lasso and waste to energy facilities have a furnace, to combust and shrink the waste, a boiler – to recover the heat and make steam, a TG, to convert the heat energy of the steam to electric power and a Spray Dryer Absorbers to control acid gases like SO2 and HCl, among other things.”

Mr. Scott concluded that like Superheroes, Waste to Energy Facilities serve the greater good. They preserve valuable land, and offset energy needs serviced by fossil fuel combustion. One ton of burned garbage is equal to 500 pounds of coal, 1 barrel of oil or 550 KWh of electricity. Waste To Energy facilities also reduce green house gas emissions and enable the recycling of other materials. While Waste to energy facilities have had to over come some public relations obstacles they have ultimately been embraced by municipalities. In Florida, WTE plants process 22% of Municipal Solid Waste and communities are still investing in retro fits and upgrades.

Jeff Clunie, from RW Beck provided attendees with a comparison of estimated costs of waste disposal methods. He asked “is there a future for Waste to Energy?” In his presentation, Mr. Clunie outlined a recent feasibility study which compared the costs of continued land filling at county-owned landfills, use of county-owned, privately operated transfer stations for long-haul truck transfer to out-of-state landfills, a Municipal solid waste composting facility, a WTE facility sized to accept waste from just one county, and a regional WTE facility sized to accept waste from two counties.

In the course of the study, Mr. Clunie also identified market drivers for waste disposal, including increased fuel costs, availability of renewable energy credits, and the ability to sell power to alternative power grids. Municipalities will reap benefits, Mr. Clunie continued, when their waste disposal systems are designed with economies of scale in mind.” Other market drivers include new technologies, like waste to ethanol, gasification that converts MSW to a fuel gas with the use of some oxygen, conversion of plastics to oil, pyrolysis systems convert solid waste to gas in the absence of oxygen, plasma systems use plasma torches to provide the energy to convert solid waste to energy, chemical and biological conversion of the cellulose fraction of MSW to ethanol.

Waste to Energy, concluded Mr. Clunie, does have a future, as it is the only current commercially demonstrated alternative to land filling.

Pride In The Industry Hits Home With Meeting Attendees
By: Ted Fischer

At the MWMA Fall Summit in West Palm Beach, Public Works Commissioners and city employees gathered together for a session on pride in the industry. “If you have ever wanted to end a conversation at a dinner party, all you have to do is say to the person you are speaking with that you are a trash man,” said Ken Baylor, Vice President, Employee and Labor Relations, Republic Services. “We are just as important as any other worker within cities and we need to be proud of the job that we do. If someone is willing to dispute with you about the importance of your job, then it is time to stop services on a nice hot August day and let the trash on the curb sit for a week and see how the residents of your community quickly respect the job that you do.” “No one should be ashamed of the jobs that are done. We are a vital part of everyday life like police and fire departments, and we too are first responders in the event of a disaster, man made or natural and deserve the respect that others are immediately assigned.”

The session was able to bridge the views of management and employees, to look at the job of a public works employee and the recognition they receive. “Many cities are convinced that if they don’t have a budget for recognition, and there is no possible way of recognizing their employees. I am here to tell you that a few nice words go a long way. Tell your employees about the good job there are doing and don’t be scared to say Thank you for their efforts,” said Baylor.

Mr. Baylor was dynamic and very well received by conference attendees who were excited about the session. Not only did Mr. Baylor work on bridging the gap between employee and supervisor but he also tried getting the attendees to understand that no one is above the job. “Take pride in everything you do. You are good at it and you offer one of the best services around for such an affordable price. Comparing apples to apples, you need to look at how much it would cost a customer to ship the same amount of trash via UPS, $40- $50 and everything has to be packaged in a particular way, yet trash pick up is only dollars to the customer and we pretty much take anything and in any shape.” For more on the MWMA Fall Summit and to see meeting presentations please visit our website at www.usmayors.org/mwma
