Buy-back or drop-off locations at disposal sites <br /> share the flexibility of curbside collection. A program <br /> could be instituted in the short-term planning period <br /> and could be adjusted to changes in recycling markets by <br /> the addition or reassignment of collection bins or <br /> areas. <br /> 4. Consequences of the Programs on the Waste Types: <br /> If this program were effective, it could cause <br /> shifts in the types of waste generated. For example, <br /> consumers might buy fewer products with non-recyclable <br /> packaging and more products with packaging that can be <br /> recycled. Also, consumers might purchase products with <br /> less packaging. Thus, over time, the waste generated <br /> would probably contain more recyclable materials. <br /> S. Program Implementation in the Short-Term or Medium-Term <br /> Planning Period: <br /> Drop-off, buy-back, and mobile buy-back programs <br /> currently exist in urban areas throughout the County. <br /> During the short-term and mid-term planning periods, <br /> these programs could be expanded to include other <br /> unincorporated areas, and County disposal sites. <br /> Curbside programs could be implemented in the <br /> short-term planning period in areas of sufficient <br /> population density near cities. Current Franchise <br /> Agreements for residential refuse collection in the <br /> unincorporated areas will expire by December 31, 1993 . <br /> These agreements between the County and residential <br /> collectors could be renegotiated to include curbside <br /> collection programs, or the County could award new <br /> franchises based on competitive bidding, to become <br /> effective on January 1, 1994 . <br /> Chapter 4 - Recycling 24 <br />
