Disposal & Remaining Landfill Capacity 2001 Solid Waste Management Update

Disposal

The amount of waste disposed in Georgia continues to increase at a rate greater than the state's population growth. While over 70% of the local governments responding to DCA's 2000 Solid Waste Management & Full Cost Report Survey reported having some type of recycling services available within their community, the state's per capita disposal rate continued to climb. According to the Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division (EPD), 10,678,980 tons of waste entered Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills in Georgia during FY 2001; another 92,393 tons were incinerated. This is up 4.1% from FY 2000, when 10.3 million tons of waste entered MSW landfills.
Most of the MSW and Construction & Demolition waste (C&D) disposed enters private facilities and those relationships are also reflected in the state's remaining capacity, as shown in the table entitled Landfill Quick Facts.
In FY 2001, landfill owners/operators reported 7,002,595 tons of MSW entering 14 active private MSW landfills, while 3,676,385 tons entered 48 active publicly owned facilities.
The number of local governments owning and operating their own landfill has decreased significantly over the last decade. From FY 1993-2000, the number of MSW landfills owned and operated by cities, counties, and solid waste authorities dropped by more than half, from 121 to 55. During this same period the number of local governments operating solid waste transfer stations has almost doubled, rising from 35 to 68. The total number of transfer stations operated statewide climbed to 202 in FY 2001.

Where does the Waste Go?
The Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources permits solid waste management facilities in the state. In the table entitled Permitted Solid Waste Management Facilities the substantial growth in number of permitted solid waste transfer stations (127 to 202) and the decline in the number of permitted MSW landfills (95 to 62) from FY1997 to FY2001 is readily apparent.
The vast majority of waste disposed in the state enters lined, monitored Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. Of the 13.4 million tons of waste disposed in FY 2001, 10.5 million tons, or 79%, entered lined, monitored landfills.

C&D Landfills
In order to provide less expensive disposal alternatives to lined MSW landfills, unlined C&D disposal capacity in the state has increased. Like MSW facilities, the public sector owns and operates a greater number of C&D landfills, but manages only 39% of the statewide C&D disposal capacity. In FY 2001, C&D landfill operators reported 2,264,832 tons of waste entering 11 private operating C&D landfills, while only 269,194 tons of waste entered 22 operating publicly owned C&D landfills.

Remaining Capacity and Disposal 2001 Update

Unlined Landfills
During FY 2001, 189,053 tons of MSW was disposed in unlined, permitted landfills. This represents less than 1.8% of the total MSW disposed in the state. As of December 2002, six of these unlined MSW facilities were still operating under their original Environmental Protection Division (EPD)approved permits. It is likely that these facilities will continue to accept small quantities of waste until they reach their closure capacity. When they do, they must adhere to the same closure procedures and monitoring requirements as their more modern counterparts.
MSW Incinerators
Located in coastal Chatham County, there is only one waste-to-energy facility accepting MSW in the state. The City of Savannah sends approximately 310 tons of waste per day to the incinerator. As shown in the table How Local Governments Dispose of their Waste, there are several other types of Incinerators in public and private use, however they process specialized waste streams, not MSW.
Municipal Waste Composting
Cobb County operates the only MSW composting facility in the state. The facility accepts approximately 300 tons per day of MSW. The processed, composted material produces a beneficial soil amendment that is provided free of charge to Cobb County residents.
Waste Exports
During FY 2000, 19 local governments reported they exported their waste to another state. It is difficult to track border waste exchange, and it is suspected that in most cases, waste travels relatively short distances across the state border. It is unlikely any Georgia waste is exported to Florida, as that state's tipping fees are substantially higher than tipping fees charged in Georgia.

Remaining Capacity and Disposal 2001 Update

Imported Waste
The amount of waste brought into Georgia for disposal more than doubled from FY 1998-1999, and has doubled again from FY 1999-2001. While the amount of out-of-state waste imported for disposal is a small part of the overall waste stream disposed, just 6.7% or 0.6 lbs/person/day, this increasing disposal trend is worth noting and monitoring.

Remaining Landfill Disposal Capacity
Solid waste management trends identified in the late 1990s have largely continued. On a statewide basis, Georgia continues to have an adequate supply of permitted landfill capacity. At the close of FY 2001 the state had over 26 years of permitted MSW landfill space and more than 9 years of permitted C&D landfill space. The maps below highlight the growth in the amount of permitted landfill capacity in the state since 1994.

Remaining Capacity and Disposal 2001 Update

As can be seen in the Remaining Permitted Landfill Disposal Capacity graph, the challenge of insufficient landfill space facing the state during the early 1990s has largely been met, with new permitted landfill space nearly tripling since FY 1993.

disposal capacity increased 32% and C&D

disposal capacity grew 17%. On a statewide basis, at the end of FY 2001, the state had an estimated 26 years of

permitted landfill capacity. The years of remaining capacity estimated in this report are based upon the disposal rates

reporting during the current fiscal year and the remaining disposal capacity permitted by the EPD.

The increases in landfill disposal capacity are the result of a solid waste management trend that emerged in the mid-

1990s, a trend that is largely driven by the economics of landfill design and operation. While there is more disposal

capacity in the state today than there was in the past decade, this capacity is contained in fewer, regional landfills. Since

1997, there has been a 28% reduction in the total number of landfills in the state. In FY 1999, nearly half of the total

disposal capacity in the state could be found in eight landfills. In FY 2001, nearly half of the permitted capacity was

contained in just six facilities. These gains in remaining disposal capacity have occurred while smaller or older landfills

Per Capita Disposal 2001 Solid Waste Management Update

After stabilizing in recent years (FY 1998-FY 2000), the amount of solid waste disposed in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills increased in FY 2001. The daily per-capita waste disposal rate, for the period ending June 30, 2001, rose to 7.15 pounds per person per day or a half-pound increase from the previous year. Half of the increase (a quarter lb/person/day) is attributable to an increased disposal rate of out-of-state waste.
Since FY 1993, the per capita waste disposal rate has climbed from 5.56 lbs/person/day to 7.15 lbs/person/day. Looking at records that exclude the amount of waste disposed from out-of-state sources, the per capita waste disposal rate has been marginally lower, climbing from 5.48 lbs/person/day in FY 1993 to 6.55lbs/person/day in FY 2001. It should be noted that the state's 25% waste disposal reduction goal is a per capita reduction goal based upon all MSW disposed within the state. It does not exclude waste generated from out-of-state sources and disposed in landfills located within the state.
As can be seen in the Per Capita Daily Waste Disposal graph, there is more than one way to track per-capita disposal rates. In FY 2001, the Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division (EPD) reported a total of 13,356,124 tons of waste disposed in the state. When looking at the reported total volumes of waste disposed, the per capita waste disposal rate reached an all time high of almost 9 lbs/person/day in FY 2001. This figure represents all waste entering MSW and C&D landfills. It includes residential waste, sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants, some industrial waste, construction debris, commercial and business waste, and waste brought here from other states.
Looking at the disposal rate at MSW landfills only, including waste disposed from out-of-state sources, the per capita

disposal rate drops to 7.15 pounds per person per day. When excluding out-of-state waste imports, the daily per capita MSW disposal rate drops to 6.55 lbs/person/day. It should be noted that these rates reflect all waste entering a MSW landfill as reported to the EPD, not just MSW. According to a 2001 study conducted by R.W. Beck for the Department of Community Affairs, about two-thirds of the waste disposed in MSW landfills is actually Municipal Solid Waste. Based upon this estimate, the FY 2001 per capita MSW disposal rate, excluding waste imported into the state, is approximately 4.38 lbs/person/day.
The impact of out-of-state waste imports plays a role in the state achieving its 25% waste disposal reduction goal. Imported MSW is not exempt from the waste reduction disposal goal and must be factored into the overall equation. Waste disposed from out-of-state sources accounted for 8.4% of the MSW stream and 6.7% of the total waste stream disposed in the state. Imported waste has grown from representing 0.1/lb/person/day in 1998 to 0.6 lb/person/day in FY 2001.

with the private sector to manage the waste

generated within their communities, including:

permits, ordinances, franchise agreements, and/or contracts.

Permits and ordinances governing the collection of solid waste are typically the least restrictive tools local governments

use to manage solid waste collection in their community. Collection ordinances typically establish general standards

by which a private sector service provider must operate. Franchise agreements, either exclusive or open, typically

establish a minimum level of service that must be provided by all service providers and usually stipulate the specific

operating standards. A contract between a local government and

table, the types of residential solid waste collection services range from "green box" or Dumpster drop-off service to curbside or backdoor pick-up. One trend the Department of Community Affairs has been tracking for several years is the use of Dumpsters. Also known as green boxes, they are often placed in unsupervised areas,
C-1

Solid Waste & Recycling Collection 2001 Update

usually in rural communities, for trash collection. They frequently become a dumping ground for everything from household trash to disabled vehicles, tires, and animal carcasses. They can become an eyesore in a community and attract waste from neighboring jurisdictions. The number of local governments using green boxes for residential waste collection has dwindled in recent years. In 1994, 74 cities and 99 counties reported using them for residential waste collection. In FY 2000, just 41 cities and 42 counties reported using green boxes. An upward blip reported during FY 1999 by cities was caused by some jurisdictions reporting the use of green boxes for collection when in fact they were just used to augment existing curbside collection programs already in place.

Yard Trimmings Collection
The number of local governments reporting they provide for the collection and disposal of yard trimmings jumped to 430 in FY 2000 although a change in the way the question was asked may account for some of that change. The type of collection service options ranged from accepting yard trimmings at solid waste management facilities like a solid waste transfer station to curbside collection programs.

Recyclables Collection

The number of local governments offering or

arranging for the collection of residential

recyclables remained fairly constant during

600

the late 1990s. During FY 2000, 487 local

governments reported they provided or

500

arranged for residential recycling services in

their communities. As can be seen in the

continues. It appears that the private sector 200

number of local governments collecting different types of recyclable commodities. As can be seen in the graph entitled `Number of Jurisdictions Collecting Residential Materials for Recycling," this decline was reflected across the board, with only a few exceptions. It is too early to tell if this is a trend or a reaction to commodities markets, as shown in the Market Prices graphs on page C-6. Nationally and regionally, market prices for recycled materials have ridden a roller coaster. The Atlanta prices as quoted in Recycling Times and Waste News are no exception for seven of the most commonly collected recyclable materials in residential recycling programs. Virtually any recyclable commodity price, when tracked over time, varies greatly.
This report does not address the scale of the individual local recycling operations, which would be difficult to quantify, rather it focuses upon the level of recycling services being offered throughout the state. Since 1992, newsprint had been reported as the most widely collected recyclable material in Georgia, followed by aluminum cans. During FY 2000, the most popular commodities recycled were Numbers 1 and 2 plastic (540 jurisdictions reporting collection) newsprint (428);

Transfer Stations
With fewer, more regional-sized landfills in the state and a wide array of solid waste collection programs, solid waste transfer stations continue to be a popular method of streamlining solid waste collection services. Transfer stations are especially effective when collection routes are farther than 50 miles from a landfill. Combining several conventional rear-loader garbage truck loads into a single tractor-trailer for the trip to the landfill saves fuel costs, vehicle wear and tear, and means fewer trucks can service more customers. Only 20 cities reported using transfer stations in FY 1995 while 131 reported using them in FY 2000.

Yard Trimmings 2001 Solid Waste Management Update

Georgia banned yard trimmings from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills in 1996, as part of an effort to extend landfill disposal capacity. Effective Sept. 1, 1996, each city, county or solid waste management authority was required to impose restrictions on yard trimmings generated in or disposed within their jurisdiction. The restrictions required that yard trimmings:
Not be placed in or mixed with municipal solid waste; Be sorted and stored for collection to facilitate composting or
other handling; To the maximum extent feasible be sorted, stockpiled, or chipped
for composting or used as a mulch or for other beneficial purposes; and Be banned from disposal at MSW disposal facilities having liners and leachate collection systems.
Annually DCA surveys local governments to determine how they collect, process, and use yard trimmings generated within their communities. During FY 2000, 75 cities and 37 counties reported actively promoting waste minimization practices such as grasscycling or home composting. It is not surprising, given lot sizes and population densities, that cities lead the way in providing yard trimmings collection services. During FY 2000, 353 cities and 77 counties reported collecting yard trimmings for diversion from MSW landfills. Most local governments also reported that they provided the collection services with just a few indicating they contracted with a private vendor for these services.
In many areas, especially urban and suburban communities, the visible result of the yard trimmings ban has been the presence of large paper bags of leaves and grass at curbsides. Collection of yard trimmings in paper bags enables them to be ground into a mulch or feedstock for composting. The majority of local governments who reported collecting yard trimmings either ground or shredded the collected material for use as a mulch, however 143 local governments reported disposing the collected materials into an inert landfill. Composting and burning were also reported as common processing methods.
Yard trimmings when processed properly have numerous beneficial uses in a community. The five-year drought experienced by most of the state has helped promote composting and mulching as an effective way for residents and local governments to divert waste from landfills and conserve water. The use of compost and mulch is extremely beneficial for slowing stormwater runoff and retaining moisture around plants in times of drought. Many local governments used processed yard trimmings as mulch for their landscaping and civil engineering applications or reported offering the processed yard trimmings to their citizens for residential landscaping.

Community Solid Waste Management Systems 2001 Solid Waste Management Update
Georgia's 159 counties and 532 cities provide a wide array of solid waste management services. This report summarizes the reported costs incurred by communities to provide solid waste management services, identifies innovative pricing structures used by local governments to fund their programs, identifies communities with local environmental code enforcement programs, and reports individual community rankings based upon the level of services they provide. Because the level of services funded by communities throughout the state varies widely, it is impossible to make revenue and expenditure comparisons between local governments, therefore only summary information is presented in this report. For more information about the level of services offered by local governments, please consult the Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) Solid Waste and Recycling Collection report.
Cost of Solid Waste Management
Georgia's local governments reported spending $60 million more for solid waste management in FY 2000 than they did in FY 1999, according to information submitted to DCA in the 2000 Solid Waste Management Survey and Full Cost Report. Local governments reported a full cost of $426 million, a 14% increase from the $366 million they reported spending in FY 1999. For the most part, local governments have implemented user fees to pay for their solid waste management programs. Counties paid 98% of their solid waste management costs through dedicated solid waste revenues, up from the 85% they reported in FY 1999. Cities paid 92% of their solid waste management costs through dedicated revenues, down slightly from the 93% reported in FY 1999. The remaining solid waste management costs were paid from general fund revenues.
Innovative Funding Options
Host Community Fees: To offset the costs associated with solid waste management and having a solid waste facility located in their community, twenty-eight local governments reported charging a host fee on waste brought from outside their jurisdictions and disposed in privately owned and operated landfills within their borders. A host fee is a fee assessed by local governments, usually on a per-ton basis, to owners or operators of landfills. Most jurisdictions charging a host fee charged $0.50 or $1.00 per ton. Wayne County, which received the greatest volume of waste imported into their community, charged $1.75 per ton.
Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT): With a Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) rate structure, residents pay a fee for solid waste collection and disposal based on the amount of waste they dispose. The household that disposes of ten bags of garbage per week for example, pays more than the household that disposes of two. Reported use of PAYT in Georgia leaped from 30 in 1999 to 47 in 2000, but some of these reported programs may not fit the true definition of a PAYT system. While technically a local government charging $1 for every six bags of garbage is charging by volume, there is no built-in incentive to reduce disposal, which is at the heart of a PAYT program.
There are 22 communities in Georgia with financial incentive PAYT programs. These programs have many different designs. Most counties operate PAYT systems at convenience centers while most cities integrate their program into a curbside or backdoor collection system. In some programs, residents are charged based on the volume of waste they dispose, while in others, residents are charged based on the weight of the waste they dispose. Some PAYT programs operate on a subscription basis, where residents pay a flat fee to dispose a predetermined amount of waste and are assessed an additional fee if they dispose of more waste. Others operate on a variable basis, where residents purchase bags for a fee that covers the collection, disposal, and the costs of the bags used to manage the waste.
As different as the PAYT programs are, they provide some common lessons, especially when it comes to how the public responds to the programs. Almost all communities report that public education can make or break a program. Many communities also claim that despite their initial concerns, illegal disposal did not significantly increase when a PAYT program was implemented, especially if ordinances were in place and enforced to minimize illegal dumping. Finally, the
E-1

way in which solid waste management costs were covered before the PAYT program began can strongly influence public reaction to the program; whether it is seen as an added tax or a way to gain control over individual disposal costs.

Solid Waste Education and Enforcement
Seventy-nine counties and 118 cities reported having a solid waste management education program in place during FY 2000. In many cases, this program included the efforts of a local affiliate of the national Keep America Beautiful (KAB) system. As of April 2001, there were 63 KAB affiliates in Georgia, and more on the way. Locally operated KAB affiliates blanket nearly 74% of Georgia's population with messages to reduce, recycle, and beautify their local community. Affiliates work with local school systems to spread a message of sound solid waste management.
The map to the right and table below show the high level of commitment local governments have to ensuring solid waste is managed properly within their communities. By protecting the environment, local environmental code officers help to maintain the current and future environmental and economic viability of their communities.

Community Indicators

One tool local governments can use to gauge how well they are managing their solid waste is to review their solid waste management index ranking in DCA's Community Indicators. Annually, DCA awards points to local governments for implementing sound solid waste management practices such as recycling, education, and effective yard trimmings management programs. The points earned establish an environmental ranking in DCA's Community Indicator listing. Community Indicators ranks information on an individual city or county basis to provide a sense of how well a particular community is doing in important areas such as education, health, environment, and local government service delivery.

E-2

Community Solid Waste Management Systems 2001 Update

Communities must have their Solid Waste Management Plans and Short Term Work Programs up to date to be considered for ranking. Aggressive recycling programs and educational programs also earn them points.

The following tables list the solid waste management ranking for Georgia cities and counties in 2000.

MSW and C&D Landfill Tipping Fees 2001 Solid Waste Management Update
With over 26 years of permitted Municipal Solid Waste landfill capacity and 9 years of permitted Construction and Demolition landfill capacity remaining, Georgia continues to have some of the lowest landfill tipping fees east of the Mississippi River. For a more detailed discussion on remaining permitted landfill capacity, please see DCA's Remaining Capacity and Disposal section of this report available online at www.dca.state.ga.us/environmental/swar.html. Annually during the month of July, DCA conducts a phone survey of the landfills in the state to identify their posted "gate rate" or "tipping fee" to calculate a regional and statewide average disposal fee. Based upon these surveys, the average tipping fee for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the state rose from $31.97 per ton in 2001 to $33.50 in 2002. It should be noted that the fees reported represent an average of the posted gate rate charged by landfills throughout the state; actual prices paid are frequently lower, sometimes by more than half, depending on volume discounts offered to waste haulers, businesses, and local governments. DCA also tracks tipping fees for Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste. C&D tipping fees fell from a 2001 statewide average of $25.94 per ton to $21.47 in 2002. They fell even lower, to an average of $19.74 a ton in the area served by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). The significant drop in the statewide C&D average tipping fee is largely attributable to the high volume of C&D waste handled within the ARC region.

Calculating Weighted Average Tipping Fees
To account for vast disparities in tonnage received by large private facilities and small public operations, a weighted average tipping fee was calculated and used in this report. In the cases where out-of-county residents or businesses were charged a higher rate than in-county residents and businesses, the higher out-ofcounty rate was used. Tipping fees charged for MSW at transfer stations were not incorporated into the survey calculations. When tipping fee rates were reported by volume rather than weight, a ratio of four cubic yards to one ton (4 CY: 1 ton) was used to approximate weight-based rates.
Weighted averages were calculated for the area served by each RDC and for the state by multiplying the Average Daily Tons received at each facility (ADT) by the per-ton gate fee, divided by the total ADT for all landfill facilities within each RDC and within the state. The process was repeated for C&D landfills. To avoid double counting, Average Daily Tonnage was assigned to the MSW column for those facilities charging the same rate for MSW and C&D waste. Most facilities charge the same rate for C&D and MSW received, but a significant number do not. In these cases, the landfills were asked to provide an approximate ratio of MSW to C&D waste received. Weighted averages were calculated using the method described above, with the Average Daily Tons reported split accordingly between MSW and C&D. For facilities that reported receiving no C&D waste, their fees were not used in calculating average C&D fees. In all RDCs, this dropped the average C&D fee, in some cases resulting in no C&D average cost for certain RDCs.

MSW and C&D Landfill Tipping Fees 2001 Update
Data Collection
Telephone calls were made to landfill scale houses and in some cases county commission offices to obtain posted gate rate fees charged at Georgia landfills. Calls were made in the end of July and early August, to 61 Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills and 77 Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste landfills. Georgia has one incinerator, one industrial landfill and one monofill that takes only baled carpet waste; these facilities were not included in the calculation of average tipping fees. Note that on the C&D Landfill Tipping Fees maps, the area represented by the South Georgia RDC changed from yellow in FY 2001, indicating the landfills in that region did not charge a separate rate for C&D waste, to light blue in FY 2002, indicating they did. The MSW landfill in Ben Hill County, located in the South Georgia RDC also reported charging different rates for C&D waste and MSW in FY 2002. Cook County, also located in the South Georgia RDC, reported no waste received at its C&D landfill in FY 2001, but did report receiving waste during FY 2002.

Landfill Tipping Fees: A Regional Perspective
As reported in Waste News magazine's October 2002 Market Handbook, the average landfill tipping fee in Georgia in 2002 was $31.92, with no distinction made between MSW and C&D waste. From the table below, it is evident that the tipping fees charged in Georgia are on par or slightly higher than the fees charged throughout the southeast, with the exception of Florida and the Virginias. The prices reported by Waste News in the Northeast are far higher, with a regional average of $52.94 per ton, and a high of nearly $69 per ton in the state of Massachusetts.

Grants and Loans to Local Governments 2001 Solid Waste Management Update
During Fiscal Year 2001, more than 5.7 million dollars in Solid Waste Trust Fund (SWTF) receipts flowed to Georgia communities to help them manage their solid waste streams. By fostering the development of local integrated solid waste management programs, the SWTF, funded by a $1 per tire fee when new tires are purchased in the state, is used to prevent and abate abandoned and illegally disposed scrap tires. The Fund is used to support the Environmental Protection Division's (EPD) Local Government Enforcement and Education Grant program, the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority's (GEFA) Recycling and Waste Reduction Grant program, solid waste programs offered by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and other State Agencies, and local government programs striving to reduce and manage the solid waste generated within Georgia. In addition to the programs supported by the SWTF, the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority and Department of Community Affairs have other grant and loan programs available to local governments to support their solid waste management efforts.
Environmental Protection Division (EPD)
EPD's Local Government Enforcement and Education grant program supports local efforts to prevent and enforce against illegal scrap tire and solid waste disposal. Enforcement officials know that illegal scrap tire piles have an unpleasant habit of appearing and reappearing and the support they receive from the Enforcement and Education grant program helps them prevent their spread. The program gives local governments financial incentives to use enforcement and education activities to address:
1. The management of scrap tires, including preventing the illegal dumping of scrap tires;
2. Solid waste reduction and the controlling of illegal dumps; and
3. Other environmental issues.
An eligible applicant may be comprised of one or more local governments. Grant funds are available for establishing and maintaining a Local Environmental Compliance Program that uses both enforcement and education to meet program goals. Continued grant funding is not guaranteed from year to year; renewal requests are based upon need, the performance of the Local Environmental Compliance Program, and the availability of funds.
Grant information and application material for the Local Government Enforcement & Education program are available on the Environmental Protection Division's Web site, www.dnr.state.ga.us, under `Environmental' then under `Technical `Guidance.' Or, contact Lon Revall at 404-362-4500 or email lon_revall@mail.dnr.state.ga.us
EPD disbursed over 2.9 million dollars in Local Government Enforcement & Education grants in FY 2001. The program funded projects in 50 communities, offsetting the local costs to develop and maintain a local code enforcement program to prevent and enforce against the illegal disposal and management of scrap tires and solid waste. A list of communities awarded grants in 2001 and a map of their distribution across the state are included in this report.

Grants and Loans to Local Governments 2001 Update

Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA)
GEFA annually administers a Recycling and Waste Reduction Grant program funded by the SWTF that is intended to help local governments foster an integrated approach to solid waste management by supporting waste reduction, recycling, and composting programs. Grants of up to $50,000 are available to qualified cities, counties, and solid waste authorities. Demonstration projects or projects that implement an integrated solid waste management plan designed to help the state reach its waste reduction goal may receive grants of up to $200,000.
Grant applications are typically due in late March and reviewed in mid-April. Awards are typically announced in May. GEFA Recycling and Waste Reduction Grant applications are available by request or can be downloaded from the GEFA Web site at www.gefa.org. Contact Erin Kelley at 404-656-0938 or e-mail ekelley@gefa.org to request an application or to obtain more information about GEFA's Recycling and Waste Reduction Grant program.
GEFA disbursed 1.5 million dollars in Recycling and Waste Reduction Grants in FY 2001. The program funded projects in 29 local communities, offsetting the local costs of waste reduction and recycling through the purchase of equipment for local government recycling centers and supporting the development of integrated solid waste management plans. A list of communities awarded grants in 2001 and a brief description of their program is included in this report. It should be noted, that this type of direct financial assistance is in high demand by local governments as every year, requested funds far exceed available funding.
Another financial support program offered by GEFA is their low interest revolving loan program available to local governments. Drawing upon funds from their bond proceeds and revolving loan program, GEFA loaned Crisp County 1.3 million dollars for the construction of two new cells at their existing landfill during FY 2001.
