use the franchised collector and self -haul their <br />waste to a disposal site. The recycling component <br />discusses establishment of a curbside collection <br />program for recyclable materials for those <br />residents that elect to use a franchised collector. <br />In conjunction with a curbside recycling program, a <br />curbside collection program for yard waste could be <br />established. Residents could source separate their <br />yard wastes and place them in separate containers <br />for pickup by the franchised collector. <br />2. Self -Haul: <br />The self -haul waste stream consisted of 21.5% <br />yard waste in 1990. In order to divert a portion <br />of this waste stream, it may be necessary to <br />persuade self -haul customers to separate their yard <br />waste and take it to a public yard waste drop off <br />area at compost or disposal sites. Many of the <br />self -haul loads are made up entirely of yard waste, <br />from residents or landscaping companies. Rates <br />could be structured so that rates are lower for <br />dumping of clean compostable material. <br />3. Residential Backyard Composting: <br />Another composting strategy, which could <br />potentially be more cost effective in reducing the <br />waste stream, is residential backyard composting. <br />It can target leaves, grass, brush, and some food <br />wastes. This program is discussed under source <br />reduction. <br />Chapter 5 - Compost 6 <br />
