We would like to thank the cooperation and support of our partners, the Environmental Protection and Pollution Prevention Assistance divisions of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority. Local governments have performed admirably to meet the enormous solid waste management policy challenges and changes of the last decade. There are no black box solutions that will reduce the amount of waste we generate and lessen our environmental footprint on our state. Much hard work lies ahead, but with continued partnerships and perseverance, Georgia's cities and counties will meet and exceed the solid waste management challenges that face them. 2 JIM HIGDON Commissioner Georgia Department of Community Affairs SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs Executive Summary In its Georgia Solid Waste Management Report 1999-2000, the Department of Community Affairs has compiled landfill disposal activity and remaining capacity data, as reported to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division (EPD). This data is merged with an analysis of the FY 1999 Annual Solid Waste Management Survey and Full Cost Report, administered by DCA. The intended result is not only a snapshot of solid waste management at the state and local levels, but also a developing image of these efforts over time. The report shows that solid waste management is improving in Georgia, at both the state and local levels. Recycling programs are flourishing, innovative ideas for reuse are becoming realities, and unlined landfills are being replaced with newer safer lined facilities. Communities providing green boxes or Dumpsters as a disposal option are replacing these uncontrolled drop-off sites with staffed recycling and waste disposal convenience centers, and many of the solid waste management efforts have shifted their focus from cleanup to prevention, including the scrap tire management program administered by EPD. Our climbing individual disposal rate has slowed, though the 3 25% reduction of MSW goal remains elusive. Georgia's increasing MSW per capita disposal rate stabilizes Georgians continue to throw away garbage at a rate exceeding the level necessary to attain the State's 25% waste reduction goal set by the Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act of 1990. However, the historical trend of annually increasing per capita Municipal Solid Waste disposal has slowed and leveled-off, at a MSW per capita disposal rate of approximately 6.3 lbs./person/ day. Dumpster Decline The number of communities using unmonitored Dumpsters as their primary method of residential waste collection continues to dwindle. Some of Georgia's cities, a few of them quite large, reported using green boxes in their annual solid waste survey, but nearly all of the additions were to supplement existing waste collection operations, rather than replace them. Rural communities are continuing to switch from unattended groups of Dumpsters scattered across the county to fewer, more centrally located staffed convenience drop-off centers. Recycling issues The abundance of landfill capacity combined with Georgia's comparatively low tipping fees makes disposal an easy option, thereby reducing the economic incentive for local governments to implement and maintain recycling programs. As local governments weigh the cost of recycling programs against cheap disposal, it will become increasingly challenging to make a case for implementing or maintaining recycling programs at the local level. Despite this and volatile markets for recyclables, the number of local governments arranging for recycling continues to climb, along with the variety of materials they collect for recycling. C&D disposal Construction and Demolition disposal is rapidly increasing in Georgia. While there is adequate capacity for now, the accelerated pace of C&D disposal bears watching. As the metro Atlanta area emerges from under federal clean air restrictions and road-building funds again flow to the region, the resulting construction will likely contribute even more construction debris to the state's C&D landfills. The expansion of the burn ban from 13 counties to 45 in the metro Atlanta area will probably also add to the amount of C&D disposal. Imported waste While the percentage of out-of-state garbage brought to 4 Georgia for disposal remains a small percentage (5%) of the MSW disposed, there was a large increase in FY 1999 over the previous year, and waste imports climbed again in FY 2000, though not nearly as dramatically. This growth in out-of-state waste imports was significant enough to offset the leveling-off of our own MSW disposal rate when measuring the progress towards meeting the State's 25% waste reduction disposal goal. Perhaps it is time to re- evaluate the State's waste disposal reduction goal and our strategy for attaining it given this phenomenon, coupled with the changes in solid waste management practices in the past decade and the environmental priorities of the state for the next decade. Remaining Capacity An adequate supply of disposal capacity in our landfills that seemed so far away in the mid-1990s is secure at present, and continues to expand. Georgia now has an estimated 22 years of remaining landfill capacity. Private and public waste industry officials expect landfill capacity growth to continue to outpace disposal in coming years. Most of this capacity is located in relatively few facilities, and today more than 95% of the state's remaining capacity is found in less than half of the total number of permitted landfills in Georgia. The concern over dwindling landfill capacity that was much of the impetus for aggressive solid waste management at the state and local level has been successfully addressed. Increased public concern for a safe environment demands that waste reduction policies remain in place, however. Public-Private Shift The private sector is assuming an increasing role in solid waste management, particularly when it comes to landfill operation. While almost 80% of the MSW landfills in the state are publicly owned, over 65% of the MSW waste disposed in the state is disposed in privately owned facilities. Disposal capacity gains in the state have come with new, large, private facilities, as local governments close their small landfills. SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs Purpose of this Report *Due to the reporting and statistical compilation time required to obtain this information, this report and subsequent annual reports will provide a statistical update of the disposal capacity, progress toward the State's Municipal Solid Waste disposal goal, and state programs activities for the past fiscal year. There will be a one-year delay in reporting the solid waste management activities of local government programs due to the reporting and compilation time required to analyze information reported by the local governments in the Solid Waste Management Survey and Full Cost Report. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the status of solid waste management in Georgia as required by the Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act of 1990 {O.C.G.A. 12-8-31 (d)}. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) prepares this report with the cooperation of the Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) Environmental Protection Division (EPD), the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA), and the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division (P2AD) of DNR. The FY 1999 & 2000 Report covers the period July 1, 1998 through June 30, 2000, and contains: a statement of progress achieved in meeting the State's 25% municipal solid waste disposal reduction goal established in subsection (c) of Code Section 12-8-21; the remaining capacity of permitted solid waste handling facilities in Georgia; the number and types of solid waste handling facilities in 5 Georgia; the status of local and regional solid waste management planning in Georgia; the number and types of solid waste grants and loans made to local governments; a compilation and analysis of solid waste management data provided by cities and counties as reported in their 1999 Solid Waste Management Survey and Full Cost Reports;* any revisions in the state solid waste management plan deemed necessary; and recommendations for improving the management of solid waste in the state. Per Capita MSW Disposal - Progress Toward Goal Georgia's MSW Disposal Rates Level Off . . . But Other Factors Contribute to Rising Overall Disposal Rates Georgia's economy boomed into the new century, along with our population. However, our landfills are taking some of the fallout from the good times. The overall per capita disposal rate for all waste disposed in Georgia has continued to rise, but based upon the best available information reported, the per capita disposal rate for MSW has leveled off at 6.65 lbs./person/day. In the early 1990s, Georgia was facing a dilemma of too much garbage, and not enough places to put it. Unless action was taken, the state was projected to run out of landfill space. The obvious solution, constructing more landfills, would not be an easy fix during this period. Identifying and choosing a new landfill location agreeable to local residents was often challenging at best. Obtaining the necessary permits from the state Environmental Protection Division when new federal landfill siting and construction rules were being developed added additional 6 complexities and delays. It often took several years to site and construct a new landfill. In 1992, there was less than 10 years of disposal capacity, measured in tightly compacted cubic yards, most of 10 which was located in metro Atlanta. Action was needed. 9 O.C.G.A. 12-8-21(c) "It is the intent of the General Assembly that every effort be undertaken to reduce on a state-wide per capita basis the amount of municipal solid waste being received at disposal facilities during fiscal year 1992 by 25 percent by July 1, 1996;" Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) includes what we commonly perceive of as garbage: household trash, food residue and packaging waste. It also includes sanitary waste from septic tanks, commercial solid waste. It does not include waste from mining, farming, or industrial processes. Per Capita Daily Waste Disposal FY 93-FY 00 In an attempt to make the most of the 8 room in existing landfills, the Legislature established a municipal solid waste 7 Pounds Per Person, Per Dayy disposal goal encouraging a 25% reduction from the 1992 waste disposed 6 in landfills by July 1, 1996 on a statewide per capita basis. Numerous changes 5 were made at the local and state level to help achieve the goal, including 4 changes in waste-handling programs 3 and the spread of local recycling programs. The popularity of local 2 recycling programs, despite fluctuating market prices for materials and the 1 availability of inexpensive landfill disposal, is encouraging. Currently 501 local 0 governments have made recycling services available to their residents and 1993 1994 1995 Total Waste 1996 1997 Fiscal Year MSW Georgia MSW 1998 1999 C&D Total Goal 2000 each year since 1997, we have seen the number of communities collecting different recyclables grow. Many jurisdictions privatized solid waste management. These changes collectively failed to attain the 25% reduction goal, but many local jurisdictions reported increased diversion rates. For a closer look at local SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs waste reduction efforts, see the section entitled `Residential Waste and Recycling Collection' on page 17. The national per capita MSW generation rate has increased from 3.25 pounds in 1970 to 4.4 pounds in 1997. The increase in waste generation since 1970 has Georgia Waste Disposal and Population been correlated with increased economic activity as measured by the gross domestic Fiscal Year 1992 1993 Population 2000 Census* 6,649,005 6,819,832 Total Waste Landfilled Millions of Tons 8.60 8.25 Total Waste Pounds/ person/ day 7.09 6.63 Tons Out of Total GA MSW MSW State MSW only Waste** Pounds/ Pounds/ in Tons person/ person/ day day N/A N/A N/A N/A 6,926,022 107,656 5.56 5.48 product and personal consumption expenditures.

Population figures are construction jobs growing from 145,600 in 1995 to reported as of the first day of the Fiscal Year. 200,200 in 2000, according to the U.S. Bureau of **Virtually all out-of-state waste is MSW Labor Statistics. As you can see by the chart ("Georgia Waste Disposal and Population" to the left), Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal in Georgia dropped significantly in 1996. 7 The decrease coincided with the State's 1996 ban on yard trimmings and the approaching deadline calling for a 25% reduction in the per capita MSW disposal rate. Many local governments had expanded their residential recycling programs in an effort to meet this goal, and many report exceeding the 25% reduction rate. This decline in 1996 also coincided with a slight decline in the national per capita waste generation rate from 4.4 lbs/person/day in 1995 to 4.3 lbs/person/day in 1996. Overall, the statewide MSW disposal rate continued to climb until Fiscal Year 1998. As best as we can determine based on information reported to the Environmental Protection Division (EPD), Georgia's per capita MSW rate leveled off in FY98 and has remained relatively constant through FY00. During the FY00 reporting period, Georgians disposed of 6.65 pounds of municipal solid waste a day.* Based upon regional and national waste generation statistics, we suspect this rate overstates the per capita MSW disposal rate. The disposal rates reported to EPD reflect all waste entering a MSW landfill, not just MSW. Landfill owners/operators are not required to report the type of waste they accept for disposal, thus the reported figures generally include Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials, industrial and agricultural waste, and other waste not categorized as MSW. However, landfill owners and operators are required to report the disposal rates for out-of-state waste disposed in their facilities. When excluding out-of-state waste imports, over which local governments and the state have limited control, the Georgia daily per capita MSW rate is even more encouraging in terms of making progress toward the state's 25% waste disposal reduction goal. The rate actually dipped from 6.31 lbs./person/day in FY98 to 6.24 lbs./ person/day in FY99 and climbed only slightly in FY00 back to 6.3 lbs./person/day. The impact of out-of-state waste imports on our progress toward the state's 25% reduction goal is becoming increasingly significant. Imported MSW is not exempted from the reduction goal and must be factored into the overall equation. While MSW imports remain a small fraction of Georgia's overall waste stream, at just a little over 4% of the total, the increase in waste imports in recent years has been enough to offset the leveling-off of our own MSW disposal rate. Imported waste has grown from representing .14 lbs./person/day in 1998 to .35 lbs./person/ day in 2000. There is some border exchange of waste resulting in solid waste exports, but the amounts are unknown. With the current abundance of landfill capacity, low landfill-tipping fees, and convenient rail and barge access, this trend will require continued monitoring. For an expanded discussion of this issue, please see the Imported Waste Section of this Report on page 13. The stabilization of Georgia's per capita MSW disposal rate over the last three years is encouraging. In order to 8 maintain this progress the waste reduction and recycling efforts of local governments need to be supported and encouraged. With expanded local government recycling programs we could expect to see a downward trend in MSW disposal rates and demonstrated progress toward the State's reduction goal. While it appears that the local government waste reduction and recycling programs are having their intended effect in reducing the MSW disposal rate, the overall disposal rate for the State continues to grow. Since 1993, the combined total of MSW, C&D, out-of-state waste, and other waste streams sent to Georgia landfills has climbed from 6.63 pounds to 8.69 pounds per Georgian per day. To achieve a 25% reduction in the total waste stream, not just municipal solid waste (MSW) as the Solid Waste Management Act established, Georgians would have to throw out no more than 5.33 pounds per person per day. Rising imported waste and C&D disposal highlight two potential barriers to reducing Georgia's overall waste disposal stream. SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs Remaining Landfill Capacity The challenge of insufficient landfill space that faced Georgia during the early 1990s has largely been met, with new permitted landfill space more than doubling disposal capacity since Fiscal Year 1995. Capacity, or the amount of available space in landfills for tightly compacted waste, swelled from 139 million cubic yards in FY 94 to over 220 million cubic yards in FY 97, and again to over 308 million cubic yards in FY 00. To help visualize 308 million cubic yards, it would be the equivalent of erecting a "Stone Mountain" of trash, with 15 Georgia Domes filled and placed on top of it. In FY 99 alone, Georgia added the equivalent of more than nine Georgia Domes to total landfill capacity available in the state. According to information reported to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, at current disposal rates and if no additional disposal facilities were built, Georgia would not run out of landfill space until late in 2023. On a regional basis, the Northeast Georgia Regional Development Center (RDC) was the only region in which public and private remaining disposal capacity added up to less than 10 years. A mere six years ago, only four of the state's 16 RDCs had disposal capacity within their region of more than 10 years. In 2000, five RDCs (Coosa Valley, Lower Chattahoochee, Middle Flint, Middle Georgia and Southeast Georgia) had more than 30 years remaining capacity within their regions. The region reporting the greatest change in the last reporting period was the Southeast Georgia RDC. With the addition of nearly 10 million cubic yards of capacity at Waste Management Inc.'s facility beside the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, Southeast Georgia RDC went from having the least amount of landfill disposal capacity within its borders to 350,000,000 nearly leading the state, with nearly 32 years of remaining disposal capacity. 300,000,000 Only public and private facilities in Coosa Valley RDC totaled more 250,000,000 capacity, with more than 35 years at current landfill disposal rates. 200,000,000 Remaining Landfill Capacity FY2000 12 6 5 1 13 3 2 9 11 10 8 7 4 16 14 15 1 Atlanta Regional Commission 2 Central Savannah River Area 3 Chattahoochee Flint 4 Coastal Georgia 5 Coosa Valley 6 Georgia Mountains 7 Heart of Georgia Altamaha 8 Lower Chattahoochee 9 McIntosh Trail 10 Middle Flint 11 Middle Georgia 12 North Georgia 13 Northeast Georgia 14 South Georgia 15 Southeast Georgia 16 Southwest Georgia Years of Remaining Capacity 5 - 10 11 - 15 15 + Source: Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Office of Environmental Management & the Georgia Environmental Protection Division disposal reports. 9 Total Remaining Landfill Capacity in Cubic Yards and Years 10+ years 9.13 years 11 years 12.5 years 18.2 years 25 years 23.5 years The increases in landfill disposal capacity are the result of a solid waste management trend that emerged in the mid-90s; a trend that is largely driven by economies of scale.

During the same period, eight MSW and two C&D landfills were permitted. MSW capacity grew from 259,383,011 cubic yards to 279,234,710, a 7.7% increase, and C&D capacity increased from 16,359,909 to 25,736,780, a 57.3 % increase. 350,000,000 300,000,000 250,000,000 200,000,000 Remaining Disposal Capacity by Type While siting new landfills will remain a contentious issue for local governments for the foreseeable future, the capacity crunch appears to be resolved, at least for now. Georgia's continued economic growth, the potential for increased out-ofstate waste imports and the inevitable natural disasters facing our state are some of the main forces aligned against ensuring adequate capacity. Another major factor influencing the rate at which this capacity may be consumed is the relatively low landfill tipping fees in the state. 150,000,000 Remaining Capacity, in cubic yards 100,000,000 50,000,000 - 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 Fiscal Years MSWL SL C&D/L Total SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs MSW Disposal FY 00 Public-Private MSW Disposed, in tons Public 34% FY 00 Public-Private MSW Landfill Ownership 69 MSW Landfills Private 22% Private 66% FY 00 Public-Private MSW Remaining Capacity Public 78% Private 56% Public* 44% *Includes unlined, non Subtitle D facilities FY 00 Lined-Unlined Waste Disposed, in tons Unlined Landfills 17% 17% FY 00 Lined-Unlined MSW Remaining Capacity Unlined MSW 4% Lined LineLd8a3La%nnddffililslls 83% Lined MSW 96% C&D Disposal FY 00 Public-Private C&D Disposal Public 10% FY 00 Public-Private C&D Landfill Ownership Private 35% FY 00 Public-Private C&D Remaining Capacity Public 31% Private 90% Public 65% Private 69% 11 Closure: Easier Said than Done Closing a landfill in Georgia isn't as simple as padlocking the gate and walking away. There are many steps involved in securing a landfill, with decades of expensive monitoring necessary to ensure the levels of methane gas produced by decomposing waste are safe and that groundwater resources are protected both below and around the site. Closing a landfill is one of the most expensive aspects of operating a modern landfill. To close a landfill, a landfill owner/operator must notify the Environmental Protection Division of its closure within 30 days after the facility stops receiving waste. From the date of the notification, landfill operators have 180 days to properly close the facility. Regardless of whether a landfill was permitted and constructed to Federal Subtitle D requirements, the facility must be closed in accordance with these standards as incorporated into EPD rules. When closing a Georgia landfill, an owner/ operator must install a cap that demonstrates the same permeability rate as the facility's liner. In most cases, this will require a composite cap composed of either an 18-inch clay liner covered with topsoil and vegetation or if the landfill was built using a synthetic liner, it will more than likely require the use of a synthetic cap covered with a drainage soil layer and vegetation. The installation of erosion control `Best Management Practices' such as terracing or riprap is typically used to maintain the integrity of the cap. The ultimate goal of a cap constructed to subtitle D standards is to keep all moisture out of the closed landfill. The liner and erosion control system must be installed under the supervision of a certified, licensed engineer, who prepares a certification statement for EPD, testifying the facility was closed in accordance with state regulations. After EPD review and inspection has verified the facility meets their regulations, a certificate of closure is issued. This certificate specifies the course of care and maintenance required for the facility over the next 30 years of post-closure care. Post-closure activities include maintenance of the cap including its vegetative cover, erosion control, leachate management and treatment, as well as methane gas and groundwater monitoring. 12 Landfill Tipping Fees $20 to 24.99 $25 to 29.99 $30 to 34.99 $35 + MSW Source: DCA phone survey C&D In the summer of 2000, DCA conducted a telephone survey of 40 MSW landfills and 43 C&D landfills, accounting for approximately 80% of the total solid waste disposed of in Georgia. DCA found landfill tipping fees to be less than most states, and less than half the average tipping fee in the Northeast. The statewide average for Municipal Solid Waste was $29.18 per ton, and the average tipping fee for Construction and Demolition waste in Georgia was $26.74 per ton. By comparison, the regional average for C&D and MSW waste in the Northeast was approximately $60 per ton, according to an April 2000 survey by BioCycle magazine. SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs Imported Waste The amount of waste brought to Georgia from other states and dumped in our landfills more than doubled from FY 98 to FY 99 and continued to climb during FY 00. While the amount of out-of-state waste imports is a small part of the overall waste disposal stream in Georgia, the increasing disposal trend is worth noting and monitoring. From FY 93 to FY 98, annual out-of-state waste disposal grew gradually but significantly from 107,656 tons to 193,819 tons, a 180% increase over six years. In FY 99, imported waste jumped to 453,875 tons, a 234% increase over the previous year. In FY 00, 512,298 tons of waste entered Georgia, a 13% increase over FY 99. Virtually all of the waste brought to Georgia for disposal goes into Municipal Solid Waste landfills and is used to calculate the state's progress toward meeting its 25% waste disposal reduction goal. Out-of-state waste entering Georgia MSW landfills accounts for only 5% of our MSW disposal stream and only 4% of our total waste disposal stream. But with a newfound abundance of landfill capacity and relatively low tipping fees compared with our neighbors, Georgia could find 13 itself accepting a rising tide of waste from outside its borders. Georgia's average tipping fee for MSW and C&D in FY 00 was $27.96, compared with a 1998 regional average of $30.89.

Most of Georgia's landfilled waste entered the 27 private MSW and C&D facilities in the state (see page 11). In FY00, landfill owners/operators reported 6,714,658 tons of MSW entering the 15 private MSW landfills, while 3,521,550 tons entered the 54 publicly owned facilities in the state. Since 1993, the number of MSW landfills owned and operated by cities and counties has dropped by nearly twothirds. Including C&D landfills, there has been a 60% decrease in the number of landfills operated by local governments since 1993. However, during the same period the number of local governments operating solid waste transfer stations has more than doubled, rising from 35 to 71. Since 1997 alone, there has been a 22% reduction in the total number of landfills operating in Georgia. However over this same period, landfill disposal capacity in the state has continued to climb. For Fiscal Year 1999, EPD permitted 14 seven new MSW landfills, with nearly 45,000,000 cubic yards of capacity combined. That's enough to fill about 17 Georgia Domes with tightly compacted trash. In FY93 67% of the state's disposal capacity was contained in privately owned and operated facilities. In FY00 56% of the disposal capacity in the state was controlled by the private sector. Federal Subtitle D regulations requiring liners, leachate control, and other environmental protection measures, coupled with the privatization of the waste industry have been a driving force in reducing the number of landfills in the state. Seeking economies of scale, many landfill owners/ operators are allowing their smaller, older landfills to close. These facilities are being replaced by larger, regional landfills. These facilities are not only accepting the waste that had been going to the closed landfills, they're accepting waste from local governments seeking to provide more costeffective waste services for their citizens. Solid waste transfer stations are a popular method for local governments to provide inexpensive waste management services for their citizens. The "Types of Permitted Solid Waste Management Facilities" table to the right shows the decline in the number of MSW landfills in Georgia, but it also reveals a potentially worrisome reliance upon a different type of landfill - - inert landfilling. Inert landfills don't receive nearly the regulatory oversight of C&D or MSW facilities, but they are spreading across Georgia. Usually located at construction sites, these small facilities are an inexpensive way to dispose of inert waste such as road-building debris, concrete, trees and stumps.

Approximately 95% of MSW, or common household and commercial trash, is disposed in lined, Subtitle D landfills. Federal Subtitle D regulations were adopted by Georgia in 1993, and called for environmental safeguards requiring synthetic liners to be incorporated below a new landfill and above a closed facility.

Whether on a large scale or small, certain wastes can be broken down naturally into a rich soil additive, saving waste disposal costs, and landfill space. A North Carolina State University study found a quarter of all household waste is yard trimmings and food scraps that can be composted. The federal Environmental Protection Agency reports that nationwide, Americans generate 22.1 million tons of food scraps and 27.7 million tons of yard trimmings annually. That's nearly 50 million tons of material that could be composted, and kept out of landfills. Seventy percent of all Georgia counties and 66% of its cities are mulching residential yard trimmings, according to the FY 99 Solid Waste Management Survey, administered by DCA. For counties, 17 % report composting residential yard trimmings, and 29% of cities compost. 16 Home composting will remain a priority for DCA until more Georgians are involved, either through their local governments or individually. "I think it hasn't occurred to them, and it's just too easy to throw out yard trimmings and food scraps," said Michael Hintze, who heads up DCA's home composting program, which includes grants for composting bin distribution events. DCA distributed a new brochure entitled "Home Composting in Georgia" among more than 40 communities, and is partnering with the recently formed Georgia Composting Association and the University of Georgia Extension Office to promote home composting. SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs Residential Waste and Recycling Collection Waste Collection While governments may be getting out of the landfill business, they're not getting out of the solid waste collection business. Eighty four percent of the local governments responding to the annual survey reported they provided or arranged for residential waste collection. There are several notable trends worth considering when examining waste collection services since the enactment of the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act. First is the number of local governments providing or arranging for solid waste collection services peaked in FY96 with 595 local governments reporting that they provided this service. As is evident in the Residential Waste and Recycling Collection table below, many communities report a partnership of private and public waste collection service providers in their communities. From FY92 to FY99, the spread of solid waste management collection services has been shared by the public and private sector. While the number of local governments reporting the use of private waste collection services has fluctuated during this period and actually peaked in FY 97, private sector vendors 17 in FY 99 provided residential solid waste collection in 65% of the communities whose local governments reported arranging for residential waste collection. This was up from 37% in FY 92. Another notable trend is the decline (550 in FY 97 to 460 in FY 98) in the number of communities reporting curbside RReessiiddeennttiiaallWWaasstteeCaonldleRcteiocnycalnadblResecCyocllliencgtion Number of local governments responding to survey FY FY FY FY FY FY FY FY 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 686 688 689 683 682 681 675 676 Local governments providing/arranging for residential waste collection 517** 571 584 590 595 581 551 568 By public sector (own government, another government, authority) 510 609 600 488 500 455 561 559 By private vendor 191 247 329 371 382 404 302 371 Local governments providing residential collection options, by type Curbside/backdoor Staffed drop-off Unstaffed drop-off Dumpsters N/A 505 540 563 569 550 460 459 N/A N/A N/A 51 58 61 68 80 N/A N/A N/A 47 44 62 45 55 N/A 167 167 122 121 103 94 110 Local governments making residential recycling services available 218 452 473 508 513 492 497 501 By public sector (own government, another government, authority*) 252 314 331 270 269 395 463 461 By private vendor 190 184 135 198 247 206 34 190 By non-profit organization N/A N/A N/A 141 161 114 209 137 *Jurisdictions were not asked if solid waste authorities provided recycling services until the FY 1997 survey **In many cases, local governments arrange for waste or recyclables collection with a combination of private and public sector vendors.

The required reporting does not address the scale of the local operation, which would be difficult to quantify, but rather quantifies the recycling programs that are available throughout the state. The responses indicate an encouraging level of the state of recycling in Georgia. What the reporting shows, with the exception of antifreeze, is that more and more residential recycling programs are being introduced at the local level every year, despite a consistently unpredictable market for recycled materials.

Aluminum cans and glass remained fairly steady for the same period, but PET plastic took a nose dive from $12 a ton in August 1998 to $5 per ton in Feb. 1999, before struggling back to $7 per ton in Dec. 99. Two national plastics groups concluded that while recycling increased, those efforts were outpaced by consumption attributed to increased sales of bottle water and sports drinks. As a result, the national recycling rate for PET plastic fell. Corrugated cardboard prices collapsed from an even $40 per ton early in FY 99, before climbing sharply to $48 per ton in the beginning of FY 2000. The American Forest and Paper Association reported the national paper recovery rate increased slightly during FY 99.

Sort of. Far fewer local governments are using green boxes than in 1993, when 167 counties and cities reported using this collection method. The number of county governments using green boxes has dwindled steadily since 1992, when 99 of Georgia's counties used them. In FY 99, only 42 counties still used this system of collection, and many of the sites have become fenced-in staffed facilities. Georgia cities appear to be right back where they started in 1992, with 67 municipalities reporting the use of green boxes in the last fiscal year. Thirty-three cities began or resumed using green boxes during FY 99, outpacing the number of cities that dropped them (13). 21 A closer look at the numbers reveals an explanation for this unsettling discovery. The numbers may be back, but the service level is different. Most of these cities are very small, with all but three having populations below 5,000, and most (15) with populations of 500 or less. Of the 20 cities adding green box collection in FY 99 that did not use the method in FY 98, all but one was supplementing existing curbside collection methods. Only the city of Chester (1990 pop. 1,072) reported using green boxes as its sole method of residential waste collection. Further, most of the cities augmenting their curbside collection programs with green boxes added only a handful of Dumpsters; five or fewer in most cases. 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 FY FY 1993 1994 FY 1995 FY 1996 FY 1997 FY 1998 Continued progress toward phasing out the use of Dumpsters is a priority for many communities as they seek to manage the solid waste generated in their communities responsibly. DCA has readily assisted since 1992, and with the continued funding support to local governments from GEFA, we expect the phasing out of green boxes to continue. Total Counties using green boxes Cities using green boxes FY 1999 Community Solid Waste Management Systems Full Cost Georgia's local governments reported a full cost of $366.2 million for solid waste management services in FY 99, down 1.3% from the $370.9 million they reported in FY 98. Local governments used operating revenues to pay for 81.8% of their full cost of solid waste management, and other dedicated revenues paid for 7.3% of their full cost. Among counties, operating revenues paid for 73% of their full cost, and other dedicated revenues accounted for 11.7% of their full cost. The split for the full cost of solid waste management for cities was 88.8% from operating revenues and 3.8% from other dedicated revenues. Counties spent substantially less for solid waste management servcies in FY 99 than in previous years. While five fewer counties responded to the survey, that alone doesn't account for a 24% drop in spending. Collection and disposal accounted for most of the spending decrease from FY 98 levels. For cities, the reverse is true. Municipal spending increased from FY 98 levels by 4%, with the majority of the increase occurring in collection and 22 disposal. Reported public education efforts among cities dropped substantially from FY 98 levels to return to mid-90s spending patterns, with about 0.5% of solid waste management costs going to education. Public education spending held steady at $1.4 million for counties.

DCA's Community Indicator program was developed in cooperation with the Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) and Georgia Municipal Association (GMA). DCA formed the Community Indicators Advisory Committee to seek guidance on the types of measures that would be most useful to Georgia's local governments and citizens. Made up of individuals from state, regional and local governments along with the State University System, the advisory committee membership brought various types of expertise to the project and helped to establish the current review parameters.

Paying to Throw Equity funding for solid waste disposal programs creates an incentive for Georgians to recycle. The Pay-As-You-Throw program does precisely that. Residents are charged based on how much waste they throw out, creating a very real incentive to recycle what they can, and throw out less stuff. The household that disposes of ten bags of garbage per week pays more than the household that disposes of two bags per week. Sixteen counties and 13 cities operate PAYT programs in Georgia. Duluth began a PAYT program in 1979. Residents pay $21.23 for a case of 20, 32-gallon trash bags. The city provides curbside recycling, collecting plastics, most metals and paper. Complaints are rare, and illegal dumping hasn't been a problem, says Duluth's Justin Kirouac. Fear of illegal dumping and residents reluctant to change have been two common, but surmountable challenges to successfully starting a PAYT program. An existing recycling system is a must, and nearly all communities report that public education can make or break a program. Many communities also claim that despite their initial concerns, illegal dumping did not significantly increase, especially if ordinances were in place and enforced to minimize illegal dumping. Finally, the way in which solid waste management costs were covered before the PAYT program began can have a strong influence on public reaction to the program. Joan Ellars of Keep Marietta Beautiful recalled a period with lots of phone calls when the city began collecting 23 trash in 1994, and the charge appeared on residents' power bill. Residents are given stickers to place on 32- gallon or smaller can, and charged at the end of the month, based on how many cans they filled. "They called me words I'd never heard, but after a month, it was a piece of cake," Ellars said. "For those who are scared to start up, you have every right to be scared. But once you get it going, it goes amazingly smooth." Local governments that conducted extensive education programs for several months before the PAYT program began found that the response to the program was much more positive. But the educational component was only sufficient if funds were dedicated to this purpose up front. Part of the solid waste management budget must be dedicated to conducting a public education campaign. AthensClarke County budgeted $175,000, or 7% of its total solid waste budget, on public education related to PAYT and recycling programs in 1999. Another factor that seems to have a strong influence on whether residents support a PAYT program is whether they were paying an itemized fee for solid waste collection and disposal prior to the implementation of the PAYT program. In communities where solid waste management costs were covered by general revenues, or property taxes, PAYT fees were seen as an added tax and opposed by some residents. However, in communities where the PAYT rates replaced a flat fee for solid waste collection and disposal, most residents appreciated the opportunity to gain some control over how much they pay to throw. 24 SWMR 1999-2000 Cities and counties in Georgia with rate-based waste disposal programs Athens-Clarke Co Coweta Co Dawson Co Douglas Co Fulton Co Hart Co Jackson Co Liberty Co Oconee Co Oglethorpe Co Pierce Co Polk Co Randolph Co Rockdale Co Stephens Co Tift Co Walton Co Alpharetta Cleveland Decatur Douglasville Duluth Marietta Morrow Pine Lake Snellville St. Marys Thomasville Tifton West Point DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs Looking ahead Imported Waste, FY 93- FY 00 Fiscal Year 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 Tons Disposed 100,000 140,000 106,000 160,000 170,000 190,000 450,000 510,000 Percent of MSW Tons Disposed 1.48% 1.88% 1.99% 2.06% 2.12% 2.16% 4.84% 5.00% Meeting the 25% MSW Disposal Reduction Goal As documented in this report, local governments have for the most part, embraced their responsibility to reduce and recycle the municipal solid waste generated within their jurisdictions. Even with the highly volatile recycling markets, we have seen a steady increase in the number of communities providing recycling collection services in their community. With the leveling-off of the Georgia per capita MSW disposal rate, it is apparent that these programs are having an impact. Our future efforts need to: Increase recycling participation rates in existing programs Quantify the recyclable components of the MSW stream being disposed and target the high volume components for further diversion Target special waste steams like C&D for reduction Increase commercial & business waste reduction/ recycling activities Review and refine waste disposal reporting requirements 25 Identify and support regional infrastructure for recycling collection and processing Encourage fee structures that support waste reduction and recycling efforts Imported Waste The amount of out-of-state waste imports has increased dramatically in the past two years. Given the state's current wealth of solid waste disposal capacity, coupled with very competitive regional disposal fees, this trend may continue or even accelerate in the next few years. What is not readily known is the disposal capacity in our surrounding states and the amount of waste exported from Georgia. To help more fully understand and manage this dynamic, efforts need to be undertaken to review and enhance local solid waste management tools, including but not limited to the ability for local governments to assess host community fees. In addition, we should continue to carefully monitor the remaining disposal capacity in the state on a regional basis. Specialized Recycling Activities -- Electronics Thousands of Georgians own personal computers and other electronic equipment which they frequently replace with a new system having the latest bells and whistles. Meanwhile their old PCs and equipment are often discarded. If not managed properly, the heavy metals including lead, contained in this equipment may pose a threat to the environment. With a growing number of PCs reaching the end of their useful lives, it is important to launch an education effort targeted to consumers and landfill operators. Recycling options need to be explored and promoted. Finally, training needs to be provided to recycling coordinators in the state to prepare them and their communities for implementing electronics recycling programs. Solid Waste Management Planning The 10-year, local government Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plans prepared in the early `90s are reaching the close of their planning period. When these plans were first drafted, disposal capacity drove a large part of the planning process. While available disposal capacity has grown in the state, renewed planning efforts are needed to maintain this capacity. In addition, the current solid waste management infrastructure in the state needs to be reviewed to identify potential weaknesses and regional cooperative opportunities to maximize solid waste facility operations and waste management services. The renewed solid waste management planning efforts need to focus on a holistic environmental and service approach, weighing the community and environment benefits of new recyclable and solid waste collection and processing options. Finally, the new solid waste management plans need to focus more on identifying waste reduction and 26 recycling performance measures instead of concentrating exclusively on an arbitrary numeric reduction goal. Scrap Tire Enforcement and Education Now that the majority of the illegal tire piles throughout the state have been cleaned up, our attention must shift to prevention efforts. With highly volatile markets for processed scrap tires and the tight operating margins that exist for scrap tire processors, a constant vigilance of the scrap tire collection and processing mechanism in the state must be maintained to ensure proper and environmentally safe management of scrap tires. Beginning in FY 00, EPD intends for P2AD to define and administer a research program to enhance the use of scrap tires and other recovered materials. Since the Scrap Tire Management Program was established in FY 93, $633,000 has gone to various local governments to support research and demonstration projects using recovered materials, such as jogging tracks surfaced with recycled tire rubber. The number of jurisdictions collecting tires rose over 60% from 1992 to 1999. EPD's Scrap Tire Program has succeeded with its initial mission of removing the dangerous piles of enormous tires that blighted Georgia's landscape. Since implementing its mission in FY 93, the Scrap Tire Management Program has removed an estimated 8.2 million tires from Georgia, at a cost of $10.21 million. DCA will continue to work with EPD to produce educational materials for distribution to citizens and tire retailers statewide, to help maximize tire life and ensure proper disposal. SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs EPA's Methane Outreach Program The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA) will continue to provide grants and loans to local governments, through its Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant and Solid Waste Facility Loan programs. GEFA would like to see more involvement with the US Environmental Protection Agency's Methane Outreach Program. Since 1994, the federal program has identified Municipal Solid Waste landfills that are candidates to supply a steady source of methane. Recent federal EPA regulations require landfill methane gas be managed at some landfills, either through flaring or as an energy source. "Why not put it to productive use if you can," said James Thompson, GEFA program manager. "It doesn't cost too terribly much, and it could make a little money if there's a user nearby." Four landfills in Georgia are currently tapping into their supply of methane to provide energy. They are: Atlanta's Southern States-Bolton Road landfill, Norcross' WMI-BJ Landfill, Augusta's Richmond County-Dean Bridge Road Landfill and Macon's Walker Road Landfill. At Blue Circle Cement's Atlanta Plant, methane from the adjacent Southern States-Bolton Road landfill is piped in to fire cement kilns, reducing the facility's dependency on fossil fuels. Local development authorities can also use the untapped fuel source as an economic incentive for industries needing steam or gas to build next to MSW landfills. Other landfills that may be good candidates for landfill methane gas to energy projects as determined by the EPA have more than 1 million tons of methane-generating waste in place. In Georgia, those facilities include: Arnold Road Fayette County Landfill Lawrenceville, GA Fayetteville, GA 27 Atlanta-Gun Club Road Atlanta, GA Fleming/Gaissert Road Flemington, GA Atlanta-Key Road Atlanta, GA Hall County-Allen Creek Gainesville, GA Baker Place Road Grovetown, GA Seminole Road Decatur, GA BFI-Roberts Road Atlanta, GA Speedway-SR 324 Winder, GA Chambers-Bolton Road Atlanta, GA City of ForsythOld Brent Road Forsyth, GA UWL Inc-Richland Creek Road Buford, GA Watts Road Atlanta, GA Columbus-Schatulga Road Columbus, GA WMI-Live Oak Conley, GA Assistance to Local Governments: FY 1999-2000 Solid Waste Management Grants and Loans The State of Georgia helps local governments manage their solid waste streams through grants and low-interest loan programs administered by several agencies. The Department of Community Affairs, Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority and Environmental Protection Division share information on grant project proposals submitted by local governments to ensure that State support is consistent with statewide solid waste management priorities and local solid waste management plans. Solid waste management assistance grants and loans to local Solid Waste Management Grants and Loans, FY 96-FY 00 governments have increased steadily over the last six years, swelling from just about $4.6 million in 1996 to more than $10 Type of Grant or Loan FY 1996 FY 1997 FY 1998 FY 1999 million for FY 99. Grant amounts have FY 2000 varied widely, with some significant Scrap Tire Management Enforcement and Education Grant Scrap Tire Cleanup Grant $976,837 $710,500 $1,312,894 $1,598,206 $1,993,070 dips.

Most of the money has been targeted for cleaning up scrap tire piles and encouraging tire recycling through education and research. Local governments within all 16 of Georgia's Regional Development Centers received state solid waste management financial assistance during FY 99. Jurisdictions within Coosa Valley RDC received the most total assistance, through $2.5 million in GEFA loans for landfill expansions coupled with more than $250,000 in grant funds aimed at removing scrap tires, or preventing their illegal disposal in the future. Jurisdictions in North Georgia RDC received the least assistance, with $27,504 in scrap tire grants. For a complete breakdown of FY 99 and FY 00 grants, see Appendix E, page 76. GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS The Local Development Fund has provided funding for a wide variety of local government initiatives, including solid waste management. No LDF grants for solid waste management were awarded in FY 99, due to increasing demand from other programs. For FY 00, Effingham County received a $10,000 grant to purchase materials for a paper recycling program. GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES AUTHORITY Waste Reduction and Recycling Grants This grant program helped 27 local governments with recycling and waste reduction projects during FY 99. A total of $517,475 SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs was awarded to the communities, spread across Georgia. To list a few examples, funds helped purchase balers for recycling centers in Coffee County and the cities of Thomson and LaGrange, helped enclose the City of Valdosta's current recycling facility, and helped install fiberglass containers for cardboard and paper recycling in the City of Nahunta. WRR Grants put $800,000 to use in 32 local communities during FY 00. WRR grant money helped build a recycling center in Lincoln County, helped buy a baler and loader for Dooly County and helped eliminate Dumpsters in Wilkinson County. Funding for the WRR Grants comes from the Solid Waste Trust Fund. Solid Waste Facility Loan Program GEFA makes low interest loans available to cities, counties and local government authorities to fund environmental infrastructure needs. These loans help communities align themselves to better attract economic development and help relieve the financial burden required to meet tightening state and federal environmental standards. In FY 99, GEFA loaned $5,036,001 to six counties and one city, for projects including landfill closure and groundwater monitoring. In FY 00, GEFA loaned $90,000 to Tattnall County for monitoring wells. For a complete breakdown of FY 99 and FY 00 loans, see Appendix E, page 76. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DIVISION, DNR Scrap Tire Management Enforcement and Education Grants This grant program helps communities rid themselves of unsightly and hazardous scrap tire piles, and establish programs to prevent them from cropping up in the future. Grants are funded through the Solid Waste Trust Fund, with participating governments providing a 25% cash match. In FY 99, 39 local governments received scrap tire enforcement and education grants, at an average of $40,980 each, for a total of $1,598,206. In FY 00, 42 local governments received a total of $1,993,071in Scrap Tire Management Enforcement and Education Grants, a $47,454 average for each jurisdiction. In FY 99, 71 local governments received scrap tire grants to help pay for tire clean-up projects or recycling events aimed at encouraging citizens to bring in their scrap tires, for no charge. The average grant was $41,764, and the total disbursed was $2,965,224. The bulk of this funding went to two local governments for scrap tire pile clean-ups: Crawford County received $708,529 and Liberty County received $1,218,2801. Now, the program is shifting to a proactive stance aimed at preventing similar piles from getting started. For that reason, scrap tire clean-up grants and grants for scrap tire amnesty days were not funded during FY 2000. Nearly $400,000 more went to Scrap Tire Education and Enforcement grant funding than in FY 99, however. DCA is working with EPD to produce educational materials for distribution to citizens and tire retailers statewide, to help maximize tire life and ensure proper disposal. For a complete breakdown of FY 99 and FY 00 grants, see Appendix E, page 76.

By offering workshops, answering requests for technical assistance and pairing public and private sectors, staff members helped Georgia cities and counties better manage their solid waste. Keep Georgia Beautiful's Annual "Bring One for the Chipper" Christmas tree recycling events were a success. The annual event supports the state's ban on landfilling yard waste. A total of 268 communities throughout the state participated in 1999 and 2000. As always, 100,000 tree seedlings were given away to participants each year. Coordinated efforts with Earth's 911, a private nonprofit organization established to promote local environmental programs via the World Wide Web and telephone. The Department took the lead to develop Georgia's Earth's 911 Web page to 30 promote environmental activities throughout the state. The site can be accessed by dialing 1-800Cleanup and entering your ZIP code or by searching www.1800cleanup.org. Office of Environmental Management staff conducted a survey and compiled a database of recycling drop-off locations throughout the state for posting on the site. In FY 99 Keep Georgia Beautiful embarked on its 20th birthday celebration bus tour across Georgia, covering 2,000 miles to 28 cities over 12 days in October. The sponsored media event received extensive press coverage, with news outlets covering events at all stops. In FY 00, the Century Tree Challenge program sought to place long-living trees in Georgia's urban areas. Office of Environmental Management staff gave presentations to educators, students, local government officials and staff, private industry groups, local law enforcement and state lawmakers. Topics ranged from sustainable development to certification for landfill operators. Keep Georgia Beautiful held its 21st and 22nd Annual Awards Luncheons at the Georgia World Congress Center. Hundreds of guests from across Georgia attended and were recognized for their local solid SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTA L M A N AG E M E N T 60 Executive Park South, NE q Atlanta, Georgia 30329 q 404.679.4940 w w w.dca.state.ga.us waste-reduction efforts, with Gov.

Keep Georgia Beautiful/DCA cosponsored the publication with the federal Environmental Protection Agency, The Georgia Conservancy, Georgia Power, and The Chevron Companies. KGB staff also mailed a yearend Environmental Education update to 650 people. Keep America Beautiful welcomed six new Georgia affiliates. Keep Dade Beautiful, Keep Bartow Beautiful, Keep Effingham Beautiful, Keep Bulloch Beautiful and Keep Toccoa-Stephens County Beautiful became certified. Towns, Union and Lumpkin counties formed Georgia's third regional Keep America Beautiful affiliate, Keep Our Mountains Beautiful. As of July 2000, there were 60 Keep America Beautiful affiliates in Georgia. Solid Waste Trust Fund dollars again supported Georgia's annual Great American Cleanup Events across 31 the state during 1999 and 2000. The events, organized by Keep Georgia Beautiful, brought out 62,548 volunteers, who removed an estimated 2,887 tons of trash from 6,300 miles of Georgia roadways. Visited several private and public waste reduction facilities, observing the processes involved and offering technical advice for possible improvements. Keep Georgia Beautiful staff gave a presentation to the first conference of the Georgia Association of Code Enforcement stressing the need for partnerships between the KAB affiliates and local code enforcement officers. Attended the Association County Commissioners of Georgia and Georgia Municipal Association conferences to give local elected officials opportunities to record radio public service announcements on environmental issues. A total of nearly 130 announcements were recorded during the 1999 and 2000 conferences. The public service announcements were distributed and aired statewide. Met with an electronics recycling and processing company to discuss ways of diverting used computer equipment from landfills. Subsequent staff efforts have included dissemination of staff-produced literature on the subject, attending workshops and working with other state agencies to deal with the issue of electronic waste. As a direct result of a panel discussion at the KGB Executive Directors Conference, the POST (Peace Officers Standards and Training) Council adopted the Crimes Against the Environment training curriculum. The course became part of POST training in January 1999. Finalized a contract agreement with the Georgia Recycling Coalition (GRC) enabling GRC to develop and coordinate America Recycles Day in Georgia in November 1999 and 2000. The events were part of the National Recycling Coalition's America Recycles Day. To assist in comprehensive solid waste management planning and regional solid waste management efforts, the Department initiated an effort to identify all recycling processing facilities -- materials recovery facilities, recovered materials processing facilities, and composting/mulching facilities in the state. Once identified, the facilities will be plotted on the Department's Geographic Information System (GIS), processing capacity information will be obtained, and regional recyclable processing and marketing efforts will be encouraged. Distributed surveys to the home composting demonstration sites in the state to follow up and gather information on the success of the sites since their construction in 1992/93. This information will be used to 32 help identify future needs to promote home composting in the state. Compiled and produced the Georgia Recycling Coordinators Directory. The directory contains a listing of all local government, military, and university recycling coordinators in the state both by name and by jurisdiction served. It also contains a list of state solid waste management resource staff, and is posted on DCA's Web site, www.dca.state.ga.us. Met with EPA's Solid Waste Team to discuss markets development and Georgia's involvement in the Agency's Region IV area. Subsequent projects included the development of a PET plastics school recycling collection demonstration program and markets development. Met with representatives from Florida's SWIX to discuss the possibility of using their services to create a solid waste exchange information Web site for Georgia. The Web site would allow business and local governments to post waste by-products on a list and/or search a list of by-products they may need as a raw material resource. The Georgia Waste Exchange is online at www.georgia.wastexchange.org. Maintained a State Recycling Coordinator position. The Recycling Coordinator provides individualized technical assistance, workshops, and publications to recycling industry representatives, local governments and citizens. During FY00 the Recycling Coordinator responded to SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs over 650 telephone calls for assistance and recycling information. The Coordinator also developed and hosted training workshops for local recycling coordinators, stressing the basics of program management. The Coordinator maintains a resource library of waste reduction and recycling publications for use by local governments and other interested parties. Used Solid Waste Trust Fund dollars to purchase educational materials promoting recycling and waste reduction. Over two hundred and fifty (250) Waste-In-Place curriculum guides were purchased. Georgia Teachers throughout the state were instructed on the use of the middle school solid waste management curriculum. Other funding sources were used to obtain several Enviroscape models for use in classrooms throughout the state. The Enviroscapes model surface and groundwater flows through landfills and our communities to demonstrate how an individual's actions impact water quality. The models may be checked-out from the Department for use by educators and Georgia Keep America Beautiful Executive Directors. Participated in the NFL Environmental Team's corrugated cardboard recycling efforts at the pre-Super Bowl events 33 and recycling efforts at the stadium suites on game day. The effort recovered 18 tons of corrugated cardboard, 1.2 tons of office paper, and nearly four tons of commingled recyclables. Additionally, 12.5 tons of food were donated to local food banks. Prepared a scrap tire management education campaign for the Environmental Protection Division (EPD), targeted at consumers purchasing new tires. Tire retailers will distribute the brochures to consumers and display the posters which were developed by the Department to explain the state's $1/tire management fee. Sixty-three (63) organizations in forty-two (42) counties requested and received copies of this brochure. In total, more than 31,000 brochures were distributed to local governments in 15 of Georgia's 16 Regional Development Centers. The Department wrote and produced a composting video highlighting the yard trimmings and biosolids composting operation in the City of Douglas. The video documents the City's program and alerts interested parties to the issues they need to consider when implementing a municipal composting operation. Over 50 copies of the video have been distributed throughout the state and southeast region. Provided technical assistance to local governments and Regional Development Centers as they prepared fiveyear short-term work program (STWP) updates to their local solid waste management plans. Approximately sixty (60) local governments were required to submit a five- year update before December 31, 1999. Also initiated efforts with ten additional Local Governments that had their STWP update due on or before December 31, 2000. Reviewed and approved STWP updates submitted by local governments. Provided technical assistance to local governments interested in developing local solid waste management ordinances, implementing full-cost accounting practices and preparing and implementing solid waste management grant programs. Staff drafted requests for proposals (RFPs) for equipment or services, initiating or expanding public education and outreach activities, and other solid waste management services. Staff conducted Waste In Place training workshops, evaluated local recycling programs and helped local governments develop bids for solid waste management operations. Produced several workshops for local governments, including a Pay-As-You-Throw workshop at the Coastal Georgia Center, with about 50 local government and private agency officials attending. Made presentations to other local governments, military and solid waste groups detailing recycling and waste reduction initiatives. Representatives of approximately fifty (50) local governments, including elected officials and solid 34 waste/recycling personnel, were represented at a "first of its kind" Pay-As-You-Throw roundtable discussion sponsored by the Department March 21st at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon. The roundtable meeting provided a forum for peer-to-peer exchange of information related to implementing a unit based pricing system for solid waste collection and disposal. Waste-Exchange Solution Saves Money, Landfill Space Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems in Marietta reduced its wood waste being sent to a landfill by providing a local company with good shipping pallets from its receiving department. The direct reuse of the pallets reduces solid waste, saves disposal expense, and benefits the local company. Lockheed Martin receives sheet metal stock on 4'by 12' hardwood pallets. Once emptied the pallets were taken to a central location, broken apart, and sent to a landfill for disposal. To trim disposal costs, the company began searching for ways to reuse these pallets. An investigation found returning the pallets to the out-ofstate supplier was not cost effective due to handling and transportation expenses. A local company agreed to pick up the pallets on a predetermined schedule at no cost to Lockheed. This eliminated Lockheed's handling and disposal costs while reducing the amount of solid waste being sent to a landfill. The reuse of the hardwood pallets by a local company will save Lockheed $6,374 per year in handling and disposal costs, and cost nothing to establish. Additionally, it is estimated that the local sheet metal company will avoid the cost of purchasing new pallets, saving approximately $30,000 annually. While financially attractive to both companies, the P2ADdriven solution also prevented about 47 tons of material from entering a local landfill each year. To foster similar success, Georgia is working with the Southern Waste Information Exchange to develop its own exchange database, located on the Internet at www.georgia.wastexchange.org. SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs P2AD Solid Waste Reduction Activities Pollution Prevention Assistance Division staff provided onsite assistance to over 30 manufacturing operations in a variety of industries, including carpet and textile, pulp and paper, food processing, mining, cement manufacturing and manufactured housing. All assessments evaluated solid waste reduction opportunities. For example, Maxell Corporation has reduced solid waste disposal by 60 percent from 1998 levels, while Synthetic Industries has reduced solid waste disposal 25 percent annually since 1997. Staff responded to more than 230 requests for assistance from commercial or institutional businesses. In FY 00, P2AD added a new staff person to handle byproduct recovery and recycling requests from business and industry. Focus areas have included electronics, carpet and wood waste. Responded to over 100 technical requests to assist companies find alternatives uses for waste by-products. Staff has responded to requests for recycling manufacturing by-products or locating businesses that can use the material in their own processes. In one case, engineers worked with a manufactured housing company to annually recover 280 tons of wood waste by 35 finger jointing, resulting in annual savings of $50,000. P2AD continued to sponsor Greenprints, a conference on sustainable design and construction in Atlanta. Other Construction and Demolition waste reduction efforts included sustainability (Green building) training and providing assistance to builders on finding markets for materials. More than 500 people attended waste reduction workshops held for the mining, carpet and manufactured housing industries, wood manufacturers and food processors. During FY 00, staff spoke to or trained more than 1,400 people on subjects including compost, land application, HHW, recycling and waste reduction opportunities in the hospitality sector. Administered a demonstration project to evaluate the use of various waste by-products, including scrap tires, carpet fibers and fly ash, as soil stabilizers on rural roads in Spalding, Candler and Habersham counties. Began a partnership with all military bases in Georgia, active and reserve, to foster waste reduction. In one success story, Fort McPherson began accepting PET plastic from a nearby city. The Solid Waste and Recycling Work Team coordinated closely with EPD to remove a regulatory barrier that had been preventing bases from starting household hazardous waste programs. The same team is developing a program to increase carpet recycling and the purchase of recycled content carpet within the military. Hired a specialist to work with the hospitality sector on waste reduction and recycling initiatives. Focus has included fats, oils and grease reduction among the metro Atlanta food service establishments, and providing assistance to hotels and inns. Staff worked with the agricultural industry to provide expertise in land application of biosolids, drywall, compost, animal waste and industrial by-products. Helped establish a pollution prevention team at Georgia Power's Plant Bowen electric generation plant near Cartersville. Worked on AHA/EPA's Chemical Waste Minimization Work Team to identify and prioritize hazardous chemicals used in hospitals and identified waste minimization opportunities for priority chemicals by department. Staff have provided ongoing assistance to the Rome/ Floyd County Recycling Center, which held its first HHW collection event in May 2000. Funded a staff position at UGA to evaluate land application of waste by-products as agricultural supplements. Typical by-products that are prime candidates for land application include animal manure and poultry litter, composted yard waste, municipal 36 biosolids, gypsum and wood ash. Twenty experimental plots are located at the Redbud site in northwest Georgia. P2AD staff also published a Cooperate Extension bulletin on "Beneficial Use of Biosolids in Agriculture." Responded to more than 1,300 calls from citizens regarding the proper management of household hazardous waste (HHW), and to numerous local government requests for technical assistance, including how to operate HHW collection programs. Staff distributed an additional 160 "Guide to Best Management Practices for Household Hazardous Waste and Radon" binders. Hosted an agricultural pollution prevention workshop in Calhoun attended by more than 70 people from the agricultural industry. Attendees learned about proper application of chicken litter as a fertilizer, rotational cattle grazing and wooded buffers to protect water quality, and a method of identifying high risk farming practices. Continued contract with UGA's Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering to complete the wood waste characterization assessment. They are also continuing work on waste stream assessments for food processing waste and municipal biosolids. These assessments will be used to target technical resources to geographic areas with problem waste streams, and identify recycling market development opportunities. SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority Funding Disbursed $1,317,475 in Waste Reduction and Recycling grants during FY 99 and FY 00. The funds went to 60 local governments, improving local waste reduction efforts by helping to pay for equipment at recycling centers, planning for local programs and expanding or establishing local recycling programs. Loaned more than $5 million to seven local governments through GEFAs Solid Waste Loan Program. Funds helped pay for landfill expansions and groundwater monitoring at landfills, and helped build recycling centers. Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division Scrap Tire Program Through FY 00, over $27 million of Solid Waste Trust Fund monies have been dedicated to assist local governments in their scrap tire and solid waste management issues. These funds have either directly been awarded to local governments or have been awarded to EPD's state agency partners to assist them. During FY 00 two new positions were created as part of the 37 expansion of the Local Government Enforcement and Education Grant Program. This expanding program reflects a shift from the Scrap Tire Program's initial charge of cleaning up scrap tire piles, which has largely been accomplished, to a more proactive effort aimed at preventing their illegal disposal. EPD developed a training course for local government environmental officers to supplement the one-on-one training it offers. The group training provided grantees the opportunity to learn about environmental compliance in a classroom setting and provided an opportunity to network with other environmental professionals. With stakeholder input, EPD wrote and provided training on administrative aspects of the Enforcement and Education Grant Program. Two grant application workshops were held to assist local governments in applying for the FY 2000 grant cycle. EPD staff met regularly with representatives from DCA, P2AD, GEFA and the Department of Administrative Services to coordinate waste management efforts. Topics ranged from strategic planning to review of grant applications and day-to-day waste management issues. Six new local government enforcement and education programs were added during FY 00, and 31 local governments received funding to continue established programs. Also, four initial assessment grants were awarded to local governments to identify the extent of a city or county's illegal dumping problems. Coming Full Circle Burning car tires makes most people cringe, but the notion makes Tia Bohannon proud. Using whole automobile tires as a fuel supplement at the Blue Circle Cement Atlanta Plant off Bolton Road will actually decrease the plant's air emissions by up to 30%, and allow the company to meet tighter nitrogen oxides (NOx) guidelines aimed at clearing Atlanta's smoggy skies. "I'm excited about the NOx reduction," said Bohannon, environmental manager at the facility, located across the Chattahoochee River from Georgia Power's Plant McDonough. "I'm excited about the amount of fossil fuels that we'll save." After more than two and a half years and $1.8 million in capital improvements, the new design became operational in September. Whole tires replaced 15% of the coal and petroleum-coke mixture used to fire the facility's twin kilns. Blue Circle officials met with Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) staff in 1999 to discuss NOx 38 reduction plans, set to go into effect in 2003. The reduced NOx emissions from the facility are included in EPD's State Implementation Plan (SIP,) forwarded to the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in October 1999. The common perception of flaming tires sending filthy soot into the air has nothing to do with the process at Blue Circle. "The tires are being introduced into our kilns at about 2,000 degrees, so (combustion) is almost instantaneous," Bohannon said. Limestone, clay, iron ore and sand delivered by rail is ground into a fine powder, and heated in the twin kilns. Each is 420 feet long, and 12 feet in diameter. Conveyor systems dump whole tires, up to 52 inches in diameter, into the pipe-like kilns. One tire will drop into each kiln through an electrically actuated door in the kiln wall, as the door revolves to the top position. Anything surviving the hellish 30-minute journey through the kiln becomes part of the cement clinker, the plant's final product. Each kiln burns about 90 tires per hour, and the 24/7 facility will gobble about a million tires annually, after time off for periodic maintenance. EPD has given approval for the facility to burn as much as 4 tons of tires hourly, or 3.5 million passenger tires annually. The cement plant has a contract with Greenman Technologies of Georgia Inc., to bring car and truck tires to the facility. The tires will either be free for Blue Circle, or the company may actually charge a fee to accept the tires, SWMR 1999-2000 A conveyor system, shown under construction at Blue Circle Cement's Atlanta plant in August, feeds whole tires into a cyclindrical kiln, shown at right.

Georgians generate an estimated 8 million used tires annually. However, the half-dozen EPD-approved scrap tire processors in Georgia handled 12.1 million tires in 1998. Approximately 9.2 million came from Georgia, but the rest were hauled in from Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina. While pulpwood and paper mills use chipped tires as fuel, most use far below what they are permitted to burn, said Brian Wright, environmental engineer for the EPD's Scrap Tire Program. Blue Circle Cement's Atlanta plant is the second facility in the state allowed to burn whole tires as a fuel source. The steel belts supply needed metals in the manufactured cement thus allowing Blue Circle to use less iron ore. Bohannon admits Blue Circle faced a public relations challenge when it began applying for the numerous permits needed to burn tires as fuel. But with an open approach, including tours of trial runs for the public and Atlanta and Fulton County government officials, mistrust gave way to acceptance. "We really did put a lot of effort into getting the word out," Bohannon said. " We needed to get our neighbors in here to see there is no black smoke, there is no odor." Jim Current, manager of EPD's mineral permitting unit, said 39 burning tires at the facility is a good thing, viewed from any angle. "We certainly encouraged them to do this," Current said. "Air Quality (branch of EPD) was very supportive of this project." Instead of sitting in an illegal dump or catching fire, 1.5 million tires will come off metro Atlanta vehicles every year, and contribute to cleaner skies over the Peach State. "If there's a down side, you'd have to get Blue Circle to explain it, because I don't know of one," said Jeff Carter, manager of EPD's planning and support program, which is writing the SIP. 40 Appendices Appendix A: Governments Ineligible 41 for SW Assistance Loans Appendix B: Remaining Landfill Capacity 42 Appendix C: Community Indicators Ranking 46 Appendix D: Recycling Jurisdictions by RDC 51 Appendix E: Grants and Loans 76 Glossary of Terms 84 Acronyms 86 For more information 86 SWMR 1999-2000 DCA Georgia Department of Community Affairs Appendix A: Governments Ineligible for SW Assistance Loans Local Governments Without Approved Solid Waste Management Plans FY 2000 City of Cumming City of Jasper City of Lithia Springs City of Nelson City of Talking Rock Pickens County Local Governments Not Having Approved Solid Waste Management Short Term Work Programs FY 1999 (As of June 30, 1999) Cities Allentown Arnoldsville Ball Ground Bishop Bowersville Bowman Broxton Buckhead Canon Carnesville Chatsworth Chickamauga Corinth Danielsville Dawsonville East Point Eton Fairburn Forest Park Franklin Springs Irwinton Jefferson Jersey LaFayette Lavonia Loganville Lookout Mountin Luthersville Macon Mineral Bluff Monticello Nicholls Payne City Pembroke Rossville Royston Shady Dale Sharon Sharpsburg Talmo Tiger Waleska Counties Cobb Jasper Twiggs Dawson Franklin Murray Taliaferro Walker 41 FY 2000 (As of June 30, 2000) Cities Allenhurst Austell Bibb City Bowersville Chatsworth Dawsonville East Point Eton Fairburn Flemington Forest Park Gum Branch Hampton Hinesville Jersey Locust Grove Luthersville McDonough Midway Millen Mineral Bluff Riceboro Sharon Sharpsburg Stockbridge Walthourville Counties Cobb Dawson Fulton Henry Jenkins Liberty Murray Taliaferro Local Governments Not Responding to 1999 Solid Waste Survey and Full Cost Report Andersonville Argyle Cohutta Corinth Damascus Demorest Doraville Elbert County Jenkins County Mineral Bluff Sharpsburg Sparta Talmo Local Governments Not Responding to 2000 Solid Waste Survey and Full Cost Report Auburn Avalon Bibb City Broxton Cohutta Damascus Lovejoy Lyons Martin Metter Midway Milledgeville Sharpsburg Sparta Talking Rock Tallulah Falls Talmo Taylor Dawson County East Point Eatonton Ellaville Ephesus Gum Branch Millen Mineral Bluff Morganton Oak Park Orchard Hill Register Turin Unadilla Vernon Walker White Whitesburg Hampton Higgston Jenkins Rest Haven Riceboro Rutledge Woodland Woolsey Appendix B Remaining Landfill Capacity FY2000 FY1994 Dade Catoosa North Georgia Towns Rabun Walker Whitfield Murray Fannin Union Chattooga Gordon Coosa Floyd Valley Bartow Gilmer Pickens Cherokee Lumpkin Dawson White Habersham Stephens Georgia Mountains Banks Franklin Hall Forsyth Jackson Madison Hart Elbert Polk Cobb Northeast Georgia Paulding Atlanta Gwinnett Barrow Clarke Haralson Regional DeKalb Oglethorpe Oconee Walton Wilkes Lincoln Commission Douglas Rockdale Carroll Fulton Clayton Morgan Taliaferro Newton Greene Columbia Henry McDuffie Fayette Coweta Warren Richmond 42 Chattahoochee Butts Jasper Putnam Hancock Spalding Central Savannah Heard Flint Glascock McIntosh Pike Lamar River Area Troup Baldwin Trail Monroe Jones Jefferson Washington Burke Meriwether Upson Bibb Wilkinson Middle Georgia Harris Talbot Crawford Twiggs Johnson Jenkins Screven Taylor Peach Emanuel Muscogee Marion Chattahoochee Macon Schley Houston Bleckley Laurens Treutlen Candler Bulloch Effingham Lower Pulaski Montgomery Middle Flint Chatta- Dodge Wheeler Toombs Evans Dooly hoochee Sumter Stewart Webster Heart of Georgia - Altamaha Wilcox Telfair Tattnall Bryan Chatham Quitman Randolph Terrell Lee Crisp Turner Ben Hill Jeff Davis Appling Coastal Long Liberty Georgia Clay Calhoun Worth Dougherty Irwin Coffee Bacon Tift Wayne McIntosh Baker Early South Pierce Southwest Georgia Berrien Atkinson Ware Glynn Georgia Miller Mitchell Colquitt Brantley Cook Lanier Southeast Georgia Seminole Decatur Grady Thomas Brooks Clinch Lowndes Charlton Camden Echols Source: Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Office of Environmental Management & the Georgia Environmental Protection Division disposal reports.

However, in 1991 Georgia adopted the stricter guidelines of the Subtitle D rules issued by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. The new rules called for liners beneath landfills accepting what's commonly called household waste (Municipal Solid Waste, or MSW), along with methods of monitoring groundwater and the surrounding air for pollution escaping from the landfill. The rule change resulted in four classifications for the two types of landfills. Landfill permits issued before September 1991 were SL (Sanitary Landfill) for "wet waste" or L (Landfill) for "dry waste." After September 1991, landfills were permitted as MSWL (Municipal Solid Waste Landfill) or C&D (Construction and Demolition waste landfill.) Old SL facilities had to either upgrade to meet MSW requirements, or limit their waste intake to C&D. Older SL facilities continue to accept waste, but they cannot expand beyond their original, permitted "footprint," and they must close in accordance with Subtitle D requirements, including methane and groundwater monitoring.
