Disposal and Remaining Landfill Capacity 2004 Solid Waste Management Report
During Fiscal Year 2004 the amount of waste sent to Georgia Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Construction and Demolition (C&D) landfills increased, with the state having 26.6 years of remaining permitted MSW landfill space and 19.9 years of remaining permitted C&D landfill space. Increasingly, the private sector controls most of the disposal capacity in the state, and receives most of the waste disposed. Larger landfills continue to replace smaller, older landfills, and the amount of waste entering older, unlined landfills continues to fall. As in past years, recycling and other waste reduction efforts are reducing the amount of garbage that could be buried in the state. However, the amount of waste we import from other states for disposal continues to climb, undercutting local and statewide waste disposal reduction efforts designed to meet the state's MSW disposal reduction goal. (See Per Capita Disposal section for more information.)

The vast majority of waste disposed of in Georgia enters lined, monitored MSW Landfills. Of the 15.9 million tons of waste disposed in permitted Georgia disposal facilities during FY 2004, 11.7 million tons, or 73.8%, entered lined, monitored landfills meeting federal Subtitle D requirements. Approximately 3.6 million tons, or 22.7%, entered unlined Construction and Demolition landfills. The remainder was divided among unlined Municipal Solid Waste landfills (1.3%), the state's only

From FY 1993-2003, the number of MSW
landfills operated by cities, counties, and 100
solid waste authorities dropped by nearly
two-thirds, from 121 to 45. According to the
Department of Natural Resources,

Environmental Protection Division (EPD),
11,916,124 tons of waste entered MSW

landfills in Georgia during FY 2004. This is
up 6.6% from FY 2003, when 11.1 million
40
tons of waste entered Georgia MSW
facilities. More than half of this increase

can be attributed to waste imported from
other states.

C&D Landfills
Construction and Demolition landfills are permitted disposal facilities that can only accept waste building materials and rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition operations on pavements, houses, commercial buildings and other structures. Such wastes include, but are not limited to, yard trimmings, asbestos-containing waste, wood, bricks, metal, concrete, wall board, paper, cardboard, inert waste landfill material, and other nonputrescible wastes which have a low potential for groundwater contamination.
The public sector owns and operates a greater number of C&D facilities in the state, but it manages only 43% of the statewide C&D disposal capacity. In FY 2004, landfill operators reported 2,979,460 tons of waste entering 16 private C&D facilities, while 624,589 tons of waste entered 37 publicly owned facilities.

Unlined Landfills
During FY 2004, 210,338 tons of waste were disposed in five unlined MSW landfills. This represents approximately 1.8% of the
total waste entering MSW landfills in Georgia. As of July 2004, five unlined MSW facilities were still operating under their original EPD-approved permits, and had not reached their closure capacity. Until they do, they must adhere to the same operating procedures and methane monitoring requirements as their more modern counterparts. When the unlined facilities close, they will be capped and

There is no time limit for these landfills to meet Subtitle D regulations, but they will not be granted expansion permits. It is
likely that a very small percentage of MSW generated in Georgia will continue to be disposed in unlined landfills for years
to come.

Disposal and Capacity 2004 Report
Imported Waste
The amount of waste brought to Georgia from other states and disposed is more than eight times greater than it was in FY 1998. Waste imports rose from 1,197,686 tons in FY 2003 to 1,646,164 tons in FY 2004, the biggest single-year increase ever. Nearly all of the waste brought to Georgia from other states is MSW (99%). Out-of-state waste amounts to 10.4% of the total amount of waste disposed in Georgia or 13.5% of the waste entering MSW landfills in the state, accounting for 0.75 pounds of the 7.5 pounds per person per day entering Georgia landfills for every Georgia resident.

Disposal and Capacity 2004 Report
Remaining Landfill Disposal Capacity
On a statewide basis, Georgia continues to have an adequate supply of permitted landfill disposal capacity. At the close of FY 2004 the state had 26.6 years of remaining permitted MSW landfill space and 19.9 years of permitted C&D landfill space. The maps below highlight the change in the amount of permitted MSW landfill capacity in the state from the previous year. A large new cell being built at the Deans Bridge Road MSW landfill in Richmond County added more than 100 years to the Central Savannah River Area's disposal capacity.

projection of remaining capacity is
based upon current disposal rates and disposal capacity permitted by the Georgia EPD, but not necessarily built.
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 the state has more disposal
capacity today than it had in the past decade, this capacity is contained in fewer landfills. The number of MSW landfills in
Georgia has fallen since tighter federal regulations were adopted in the mid-1990s, but the number of C&D landfills has
increased to 53 in FY 2004. In FY 1993, there were 187 public and private landfills in Georgia, and 75% of these were
small facilities that only accepted waste generated within the host county. For FY 2004, approximately one-third of the
state's total remaining capacity sits in just five facilities, although there are 110 active landfills in Georgia. These gains in
remaining disposal capacity have occurred while smaller or older landfills are closed and enter lengthy post-closure

Per Capita Disposal 2004 Solid Waste Management Update
The amount of garbage entering Georgia's Municipal Solid Waste landfills climbed during Fiscal Year 2004, taking Georgia farther from its waste reduction goal. With only two exceptions, during the past decade the per capita disposal rate in Georgia has either climbed gradually or remained nearly flat. In 1996, the same year the yard trimmings ban went into effect, the MSW per capita disposal rate fell to 5.4 lbs/person/day. In 2002, the MSW disposal rate dipped again, due in part to the increased disposal of construction materials at C&D designated landfills and a sluggish economy.
Since FY 1994, the per capita municipal solid waste disposal rate has climbed from 5.66 lbs/person/day to 7.52 lbs/person/day. Looking at records that exclude the amount of waste disposed from out-of-state sources, the per capita MSW disposal rate has been marginally lower, climbing from 5.55 lbs/person/day in FY 1994 to 6.5lbs/person/day in FY 2004. 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. The goal does not exclude waste generated from out-of-state sources and disposed in landfills located within the state. To reach the 25% goal, no more than 5.33 pounds can enter Georgia MSW landfills per person, per day; regardless of its source.
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 2004, the Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division (EPD) reported a total of 15,884,267 tons of waste disposed in the state. When looking at the reported total amounts of waste disposed, the per capita waste disposal rate rose to 9.95 lbs/person/day in FY 2004, up from 9.14lbs/person/day in FY 2003. 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. It does not include waste sent to incinerators or composting operations.

Per Capita Disposal 2004 Update
Looking at the disposal rate at MSW landfills only, including waste disposed from out-of-state sources, the per capita disposal rate rose to 7.52 pounds per person per day. When excluding out-of-state waste imports, the daily per capita MSW disposal rate falls to 6.5 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, about two-thirds of the waste disposed in MSW landfills is actually MSW. Based upon this estimate, the FY 2004 per capita MSW disposal rate, excluding waste imported into the state, is approximately 4.3 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 13.5% of the MSW stream and 10.3% of the total waste stream disposed in the state. Imported waste has grown from representing 0.1/lb/person/day in 1998 to 1.04 lb/person/day in FY 2004.

Solid Waste & Recycling Collection 2004 Solid Waste Management Update
Waste Collection
The level and type of solid waste, recycling and yard trimmings collection services provided throughout the state varies
greatly depending upon a community's size and demographic profile. The information contained in the following pages
attempts to identify how local governments collect and manage solid waste and recyclables generated within their
community. Most importantly it notes that the majority of local governments responding to the 2003 Solid Waste
Management Survey and Full Cost Report (88%) provide or arrange for the collection of residential solid waste. In
addition, 60% of the local governments responding reported providing or arranging for solid waste collection services for businesses and other non-
Residential Waste and Recyclables Collection
residential customers.
FY 2001 - 2003
In the table entitled Residential Waste & Recyclables Collection the changing role of local governments as solid waste collection service providers is highlighted. Many local governments have opted to "arrange for" rather than "provide" solid waste collection services. Over the past decade, we have seen the solid waste collection role of the private sector increase. In Fiscal Year (FY) 1992, 190 communities reported that they relied upon the private sector to collect solid waste in their community. In 2003, 379 local governments reported that they relied upon the private sector for solid waste collection services. There are several tools local governments use to partner 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, generally establish a minimum level of services that must be provided by all service

provides the greatest degree of management control over the waste stream, with the local government setting forth specific performance measures and standards to be met by both parties.

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. They are often placed in unsupervised areas, usually in rural communities, for trash collection and frequently become dumping grounds 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 2003, just 22 cities and 20 counties reported using green boxes.

The number of local governments reporting that they provide for the collection and disposal of yard trimmings fell from 449 in FY 2002 to 448 in FY 2003. This apparent decrease may be attributable to the lower survey response (23 fewer local governments responding than in FY 2003.) The number of counties reporting they provide collection services has increased from 77 in FY 2000 to 93 in FY 2003. From the information reported it appears that this increase is occurring at staffed drop-off facilities. 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
During FY 2003, 444 local governments reported they provided or arranged for residential recycling services in their communities. As can be seen in the Residential Recycling Services Providers graph, the strong tradition of public, private, and non-profit partnerships used to provide recycling services throughout Georgia continues.
The number of local governments whose residents have access to recycling services has slowly dwindled during the last three years. Collection programs for paper and beverage containers have fallen most dramatically, with collection programs for newspaper falling from 465 reported in FY 1999 to 365 in FY 2003. Collection programs have been trimmed mainly from small, rural communities. Some of the decrease may be attributed to a lower survey response rate (23 fewer local governments responding than in FY 2002.) On a more positive note, more jurisdictions reported collecting problem wastes such as Household Hazardous Waste and electronics.

Solid Waste & Recycling Collection 2004 Update
Collecting Materials for Recyling tables on page C-4, there has been a steady decline in the number of local governments making residential recycling services available in their jurisdictions. Nationally and regionally, market prices for recycled materials have ridden a roller coaster. Virtually any recyclable commodity price, when tracked over time, varies greatly. This affects which materials some local governments choose to recycle, given their budget restraints and shifting priorities.
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, newspaper has been reported as the residential recyclable material most widely collected in Georgia, followed by aluminum cans. During FY 2003, the most popular commodities recycled from residences were newspaper (365 jurisdictions reporting collection); aluminum (334); corrugated cardboard (287); magazines (280); and #1 plastic (256.) PET plastic bumped glass off the top five most recycled materials category during FY 2002. Some recyclers have dropped glass from their programs, saying prices have fallen to the point that dealing with the material, which can be a contaminant for other recyclables if not handled properly, is no longer worth the trouble. Glass proponents claim that markets for the material have strengthened in the last year, and that with care and proper equipment maintenance, glass should not be a problem for a recycling operation.
The tables on page C-4 tally the number of local governments collecting commercial and residential materials for recycling. For a complete listing of the types of materials recycled in each community, please consult DCA's Web site, www.dca.state.ga.us/environmental/swar.html and view the `Access to Recycling FY 2004' table.
Recyclables Processing
In FY 2003 217 local governments reported processing residential recyclables as source separated materials, or reported that they collect
source-separated materials from their customers. Source-separated
means the materials are
separated before being collected, typically by the consumer. For example, a homeowner may have

collection, often by paid staff,

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 that they or their contractors used transfer stations for the collection or disposal of residential waste in FY 1995. By FY 2003, 146 cities or their

Yard Trimmings 2004 Solid Waste Management Update
Georgia banned yard trimmings from lined Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills in 1996, as part of an effort to extend landfill disposal capacity. Effective Sept. 1, 1996, each city, county and 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 2003, 55 cities and 41 counties reported actively promoting waste minimization practices such as home composting or beneficial reuse of yard trimmings. During FY 2003, 253 cities and 67 counties reported collecting yard trimmings for diversion from MSW landfills. It is not surprising, given lot sizes and population densities, that cities lead the way in providing yard trimmings collection services. Most local governments also reported that they provided the collection services with just a few indicating they contracted with a private vendor to collect yard trimmings. 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 137 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 use of compost and mulch is extremely beneficial for slowing stormwater runoff and retaining moisture around plants. Many local governments use processed yard trimmings as mulch for their landscaping and civil engineering applications or report offering the processed yard trimmings to their citizens for residential landscaping.

MSW and C&D Landfill Tipping Fees 2004 Solid Waste Management Update
With over 25 years of permitted Municipal Solid Waste landfill disposal capacity and more than 13 years of permitted Construction and Demolition landfill disposal capacity remaining as of Fiscal Year 2003, the most recent year for which data is available, 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 Remaining Capacity and Disposal section of the 2004 Solid Waste Management Annual Report.)
Annually during the month of July, DCA conducts a phone survey of the landfills in the state to identify their posted "gate rate" tipping fee to calculate regional and statewide average disposal fees. Based upon these surveys, the average tipping fee for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the state rose from $32.85 per ton in 2003 to $34.95 per ton in 2004. It should be noted that the fees reported represent an average of the posted gate rates 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. Since the 2003 survey, three large Atlanta landfills significantly raised their posted gate rates in an effort to dissuade customers with small loads. By replacing these artificially high rates with the rates they posted last year, the Atlanta Regional Commission's average tip fee fell from $39.32 per ton to $32.70, which is much closer to last year's average of $34/ton for the ARC. Statewide, this adjustment changes the MSW tip fee average from $33.26/ton to $32.77/ton.
DCA also tracks tipping fees for Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste. C&D tipping fees remained virtually unchanged from 2003, dropping only slightly from a 2003 statewide average of $28.15 per ton to $28.14 per ton in 2004.

Calculating Weighted Average Tipping Fees
To account for tonnage disparities between large and small landfills, a weighted average tipping fee was used. If out-of -county residents or businesses were charged a higher rate than in-county customers, the higher rate was used. Tipping fees charged for MSW at transfer stations were excluded. 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.
*No landfills within this RDC reported charging a separate rate for C&D waste.

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 mid-July, to 61 landfills accepting Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and 77 landfills accepting Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste. 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 North Georgia RDC changed from yellow in 2002, indicating the landfills in that region did not charge a separate rate for C&D waste, to dark blue in 2003, indicating they did.

MSW and C&D Landfill Tipping Fees 2004 Update
Landfill Tipping Fees: A Regional Perspective
As reported in Waste News magazine's October 2003 Market Handbook, the average landfill tipping fee in Georgia in 2003 was $28.28, with no distinction made between MSW and C&D waste. Ranked 7th in the list of the twelve (12) southeastern states, Georgia's average tipping fee is approximately $2.00 a ton less than the average tipping fee reported in the southeastern states. The prices reported by Waste News in the Northeast are far higher, with a regional average approaching $55 per ton, and a high of more than $76 per ton in the state of New Hampshire.

Grants and Loans to Local Governments 2004 Solid Waste Management Update
No state solid waste grants or loans were awarded during Fiscal Year 2004 from the Georgia Solid Waste Trust Fund (SWTF.) Each year the State Legislature must appropriate funds collected to the Trust Fund for distribution for local tire abatement efforts, waste reduction and education programs. During FY 2004, no funds were appropriated to the Environmental Protection Division for their designated uses.
Environmental Protection Division (EPD)
EPD's Local Government Enforcement and Education grant program was designed to support 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 helped them prevent their spread. The program gave 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. No Local Government Enforcement and Education grants were awarded during FY 2004.
Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA)
GEFA typically administered a Recycling and Waste Reduction Grant program funded by the SWTF 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 were available to qualified cities, counties, and solid waste authorities. Demonstration projects or projects implementing an integrated solid waste management plan designed to help the state reach its waste reduction goal were eligible to receive grants of up to $200,000. No GEFA grants were awarded during FY 2004. Another financial support program offered by GEFA is their low interest revolving loan program available to local governments. No GEFA loans were awarded during FY 2004.
