MUA Seeks To Expand Recycling

SWAl.NTON - The Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority is considering the use of "public enterprise" to reduce the county's municipal solid waste stream by 15 to 25 percent "The authority is investigating ways of increasing the levels ol municipal recycling activity." said MUA Solid Waste Manager Theodore F. < )'Neill at the authority's regular meeting last Wednesday, "and the lending alternative appears to be the construction of a re gional recycling center \C< oitm.Nf; TO O'Neill. "This public enterprise recycling center would receive financial support from the C'MCMUA and state agencies lor building construction. site improvements and processing equipment while the private seetor would provide management expertise, equity capital and labor services." I.atx>r sen-ices could be provided by the Jersey ( ape Diagnostic Training and Opportunity Center, which is the county's sheltered workshop lor handicapped individuals. O'Neill said. HE SAID authority financial and technical assistance could be supported through: -$195,000 from the Natural Bond Act : - $65,000 from a 50-cent-per-ton user fee: -$15,1100 from a N.J Dc n;irlm>>nl <if l»*n«riiv part ment grant

and a $20,000 D( )K program planning grant: and $20,000 in CMC MUA staffing support. "We're all pretty much familiar with the obvious environmental benefits of re cycling." O'Neill said "but there are also significant advantages that can accrue to the authority which arc not so obvious and not so easy to quantilalc " \< colt DIM. TO O'Neill, energetic and mandatory - recycling in Cape MayCounty could help the authority save capital costs in the construction of a resource recovery incinerator, as well as in the operation of such a facility, and could help extend the life ot the I'MCMl'A sanitary landlill Furthermore. O'Neill said, a well-organized county wide recycling program would also benefit the authority in that refuse taken to the resource recovery incinerator would have an increased energy eontent "Multi-material recycling increases the net energycontent of the refuse of fuel burned and increases the level of energy recovery." O'Neill said. "This increased value results from the removal of non-combustible glass and metals which absorb heat rather than produce it." HE AI.SO SAID that recycling re/noves corrosive and abrasive materials from the waste stream which could add to the operating and maintenance costs of the resource recovery facility. And finally. O'Neill said, increased recycling can 1 space in the landfill. ;

L» "Since a resource recovery facility in Cape MayCounty would not be downsized as a result of recycling. more solid waste could ? Ik- processed through this facility." he explained. "Therefore, less waste j would go directly to the landfill for disposal and the , landfill capacity would be extended." IN ORDER TO meet the main goal of reducing the total municipal waste stream 1 by 15 to 25 percent. O'Neill said, the specific objectives should be pursued by the authority. local communities and the private sector. He said for benefits to accrue to both participating municipalities and the authority. a countywide recycling program must : •Be multi-material, including mixed newspaper, corrugated. high-grade office paper, waste oil. used tires, compostablcs. food waste, scrap metals, and co-min-gled glass contained (all colors 1. metal containers • aluminum and steel cans) and plastics: BE MANDATORY or achieve a 75 percent participation rate by county residents : — Be provided at no cost to participants (no charge tor delivery of recyciables 1 : — Share directly with all participants in any net profits through annual profit sharing, refuge disposal credits or a minimum floor

price for recyclable materials: - Include the development of a regional recycling center, which should receive. store and process recyciables : - Establish factory oper atioas by a private, non-pro-fit or for-profit organization; - Include long-term contracts < five-year minimum > with materials markets; PROVIDE employment opportunities for disabled and/or handicapped countyresidents: - Recognize municipal responsibility for the collection and transport of recyclable materials as well as solid waste. Provide a minimum of twice-monthly, municipally sponsored recyciables collection service to every county household, and - Expand the private recycling industry serving Cape May County, primarily in the areas of newspaper, corrugated office paper and scrap metal recycling Authority Commission Chairman William F X Band commended the solid waste staff for creating the program proposal and said the commissioners would study it and bring it up for discussion at their next meeting on Dec. 4.
