3. County Recycling Activities: <br /> iDISPOSAL SITES: <br /> The County is recycling corrugated paper, tires, <br /> and scrap metal including aluminum and white goods, at <br /> its Lovelace Transfer Station. Space limitations at the <br /> transfer station preclude a more extensive recycling <br /> program at this time. There was a program at the <br /> Harney Lane Landfill to divert scrap metal, white goods, <br /> wood, and tires in 1990 and 1991. However, that <br /> landfill was closed by the end of 1991. <br /> The County's new North County Recycling Center and <br /> Sanitary Landfill began operation in the Fall of 1991 <br /> and replaced the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill. The <br /> Recycling Center, scheduled for completion by the second <br /> quarter of 1992, will have drop-off facilities for <br /> several recyclable materials. Also manual separation of <br /> recyclable materials will be conducted on the tipping <br /> floor. <br /> Plans are being developed for the renovation of the <br /> County's Lovelace Transfer Station, which will have <br /> similar recycling capabilities. <br /> INSTITUTIONAL RECYCLING: <br /> The County operates an office paper recycling <br /> program at eight of its facilities. The program which <br /> began in January, 1990, diverted 56 tons of computer and <br /> white office paper in 1990. The program can be used as <br /> a model for businesses in both cities and unincorporated <br /> areas of the County. <br /> During 1990, all programs within the County <br /> unincorporated area diverted 13,811 tons of recyclable <br /> materials. <br /> Chapter 4 - Recycling 17 <br />
