RECYCLING COMMITTEE GOALS FOR 2005/2006
The Committee reviewed the 2005/2006 recycling goals.
40 UNIVERSAL WASTE - REQUIREMENTS EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 9, 2006
•
Mr. Fauth addressed the Universal Waste requirements that went into effect
February 9, 2006 and proposed holding an E -Waste Recycling event with the City of
Costa Mesa (CCM). Lorraine Watkins of HMR USA, Inc. met with Ms. Revak on
February 2, 2006 to discuss a -waste recycling services offered by HMR and
provided the District with a proposal for an E -Waste Collection Event. HMR provides
all labor, equipment and transport trailers to run the event including removal of all
material from the collection site the date of the event. Within ten business days
following the event, HMR provides a report detailing the amount of various materials
collected. HMR complies with all Federal, State and local laws and will provide proof
of workers compensation insurance, proof of commercial general liability insurance
and commercial automobile liability insurance with the Costa Mesa Sanitary District
named as additional insured. The success of an E -Waste Day is based on how well
the event is promoted. The cost is dependent on pounds collected; with 25,000
pounds collected, cost is $1,000; 25,000 to 50,000 pounds is breakeven — no costs;
and with 50,000 pounds, HMR pays $1,000 ($500 each to CMSD and CCM).
Ms. Theriault, CCM Management Analyst, informed the District of approval from the
Maintenance Services Manager to use the City Corporation Yard for a joint event.
Proposed dates are June 17 or June 3, 2006.
