These programs could be extended into the medium- <br /> term planning period. <br /> 6. Need for Additional Facilities: <br /> Curbside collection requirero rams could <br /> P g <br /> processing facilities to handle the recyclable materials <br /> collected. The type and size of these facilities would <br /> depend on the method of collection and the types of <br /> tmaterials targeted. <br /> One program could require the homeowner to sort <br /> recyclable materials into several containers. <br /> Recyclable materials would then be collected using <br /> vehicles with several bins that permit segregation of <br /> the recyclable materials. Facility needs for this type <br /> of operation would be space for material consolidation <br /> and storage until the material could be marketed. <br /> A different curbside program could require <br /> residents to place all recyclables into one container. <br /> The container is then emptied into a collection truck <br /> that contains only one bin for transportation to a <br /> processing center. Thus, the materials are commingled <br /> and must be separated at the processing facility. The <br /> processing facility would be more complex than the <br /> storage facility described previously. <br /> Additional buy-back and drop-off centers can be <br /> located on property acquired for the purpose, or in <br /> commercial center parking lots, or on property owned by <br /> businesses, refuse collection companies or the County. <br /> Economies of scale could exist when two or more <br /> jurisdictions utilize the same facilities. Therefore, <br /> the County and its cities could work together toward <br /> developing regional facilities that could be used <br /> jointly. <br /> Chapter 4 - Recycling 25 <br />
