To: Zero Waste Committee From: Paul Henderson, General Manager Solid Waste Services Date: May 29, 2013 Meeting Date: June 6, 2013 Subject: Review of Mixed Waste Material Recovery Facilities RECOMMENDATION That the Zero Waste Committee receive the report dated May 29, 2013 titled “Review of Mixed Waste Material Recovery Facilities” for information. PURPOSE To update the Zero Waste Committee on a staff review of mixed waste processing facilities in the United States. BACKGROUND There are a range of methods used across North America to process residual residential and institutional, commercial and industrial (ICI) waste. This report is being brought to the Zero Waste Committee to update the committee on a staff review of mixed waste material recovery facilities (MWMRF) through information collected on recent visits to a number of these facilities. (a) Material Recovery Facilities There are three general categories of material recovery facilities (MRFs): ‘clean MRFs’ which take in co-mingled recyclable materials which have been kept separate from garbage at the source. ‘mixed waste material recovery facilities’ which take in mixed municipal solid waste and recover materials from the waste. ‘hybrid MRFs’ which may take in several different lines, some of which may be source separated recyclables, and/or mixed municipal solid wastes. In this review, any MRF processing mixed residential and ICI waste is described as a MWMRF for simplicity. MRFs are widely used for construction and demolition material recovery. This is because construction and demolition materials are well suited for mechanical separation. A 2009 inventory by Government Advisory Associates identified about 55 MWMRFs in the US. Staff have been able to confirm about half of the MWMRFs identified in 2009 are still processing mixed waste. Many of the facilities still operating have reduced the proportion of mixed waste they take. (b) Metro Vancouver Integrated Solid Waste and Resources Management Plan The Metro Vancouver Integrated Solid Waste and Resources Management Plan (ISWRMP) forms the basis for solid waste planning for the region. Under the 5R international waste management hierarchy, MWMRFs are considered recovery as materials are recovered from the waste stream.

To: Zero Waste Committee From: Paul Henderson, General Manager Solid Waste Services Date: May 29, 2013 Meeting Date: June 6, 2013 Subject: Review of Mixed Waste Material Recovery Facilities RECOMMENDATION That the Zero Waste Committee receive the report dated May 29, 2013 titled “Review of Mixed Waste Material Recovery Facilities” for information. PURPOSE To update the Zero Waste Committee on a staff review of mixed waste processing facilities in the United States. BACKGROUND There are a range of methods used across North America to process residual residential and institutional, commercial and industrial (ICI) waste. This report is being brought to the Zero Waste Committee to update the committee on a staff review of mixed waste material recovery facilities (MWMRF) through information collected on recent visits to a number of these facilities. (a) Material Recovery Facilities There are three general categories of material recovery facilities (MRFs):

• ‘clean MRFs’ which take in co-mingled recyclable materials which have been kept separate from garbage at the source.

• ‘mixed waste material recovery facilities’ which take in mixed municipal solid waste and recover materials from the waste.

• ‘hybrid MRFs’ which may take in several different lines, some of which may be source separated recyclables, and/or mixed municipal solid wastes.

In this review, any MRF processing mixed residential and ICI waste is described as a MWMRF for simplicity. MRFs are widely used for construction and demolition material recovery. This is because construction and demolition materials are well suited for mechanical separation. A 2009 inventory by Government Advisory Associates identified about 55 MWMRFs in the US. Staff have been able to confirm about half of the MWMRFs identified in 2009 are still processing mixed waste. Many of the facilities still operating have reduced the proportion of mixed waste they take. (b) Metro Vancouver Integrated Solid Waste and Resources Management Plan The Metro Vancouver Integrated Solid Waste and Resources Management Plan (ISWRMP) forms the basis for solid waste planning for the region. Under the 5R international waste management hierarchy, MWMRFs are considered recovery as materials are recovered from the waste stream. The ISWRMP repeatedly emphasizes the preference for recycling over recovery. For example:

• Resource Management Principles – the internationally recognized 5Rs hierarchy on which the ISWRMP is based establishes that recycling at the source (the 3rd R) is preferable to recovery of materials from the waste stream (the 4th

• Public Health Principles - “Emphasis on upstream preventative solutions as opposed to downstream problem management.”

R).

• Goal 2 (Maximize Reuse, Recycling and Material Recovery) reiterates the hierarchy that reuse is preferable to recycling which is preferable to material recovery. The vast majority of actions listed under Goal 2 are reuse and recycling initiatives.

• Strategy 2.6 Target organics for recycling and energy recovery – “Food waste comprises 21% of waste disposed. This, along with yard and garden waste and some paper and paperboard, can be composted together in a source separated stream to produce a beneficial and marketable product which includes compost and bio-fuel.”

• Strategy 2.9 Target multi-family and industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) sectors to improve diversion rates: “Metro Vancouver will develop bylaws to require recycling in all multi-family and commercial buildings and complexes. Municipalities will work with Metro Vancouver to implement recycling in multi-family and commercial buildings.”

• Financial Implications – “Pricing will be established so that the most expensive choice for residents and businesses will be to place materials in garbage cans and dumpsters for disposal.”

The overarching theme of the ISWRMP is “front of pipe” solutions for reducing the amount of waste generated and maximizing diversion. For example, the National Zero Waste Council is a collaboration of public and private stakeholders working together to minimize the amount of waste generated. DISCUSSION (a) Toured MWMRF Overview Staff from Metro Vancouver and the City of Vancouver visited four MWMRFs in California during the week of April 22, 2013. Staff also toured a mixed waste composting facility, Z-Best Composting Facility, that received organics from three of the four facilities. The facilities:

• Processed a full range of residential and ICI waste: o Sunny Vale SMaRT Station and Western Placer Waste Management Authority

Material Recovery Facility: Single family, multi-family and ICI o Greenwaste Recovery, San Jose: Multi-family waste o Newby Island Resource Recovery Park, San Jose: ICI waste

• Three of the four facilities also had source separated processing lines within the same plants. In two of the plants, mixed waste materials (typically plastic containers and/or paper) were combined with the same source separated materials during the process, making accounting for recovery challenging.

• The facilities each processed in the range of 150,000 to 250,000 tonnes per year of mixed waste.

• Collection systems in the communities included:

Page 3: To: Zero Waste Committee From: Paul Henderson, General ...€¦ · To update the Zero Waste Committee on a staff review of mixed waste processing facilities in the United States.

o The Sunnyvale SMaRT Station received waste after source separation systems in all sectors, but these systems were voluntary in the ICI and multi-family sectors, and thus not in all generation locations

o Newby Island processed two-stream ICI waste: wet and dry, with source separated material (primarily cardboard) collected from some businesses

o Western Placer processed all residential and ICI waste with effectively no source separation programs (except yard trimmings). Western Placer communities refer to their waste management strategy as “One Big Bin”.

• For all communities served by the facilities, mixed waste processing was to some extent an alternative to source separation programs.

(b) Governance For all MWMRFs visited, waste delivered to the MWMRFs was collected through franchised collection programs, ie. designated commercial haulers collected all multi-family and ICI garbage, and in some cases recyclables. Republic Services (Newby Island) both collected and processed the waste. These franchised collection systems provided full control over collection systems and ensured all waste was delivered to the MWMRFs. (c) Technology The plants visited had all had significant upgrades since 2007, and although systems were more complex than plants constructed during the 1990s, the facilities appeared to rely on equipment and technology that has been available for many years. While the facilities employ automated systems, the primary mechanism of recovering recyclables was manual sorting at all four facilities. Organics were typically removed with trommel and disk screens. (d) Recycling Rates Of the facilities visited, only the Sunnyvale SMaRT Station reported detailed recovery rates. The other operators provided anecdotal information on recovery rates. A facility overview is provided as an attachment for the SMaRT Station. The material recovery breakdown is as follows: Sunnyvale California SMaRT Station Reported Recovery Rates Material Recovery Concrete, soil, yard trimmings and wood 5.7% Organics 4.3% Fibre, plastic, glass and metal 4.5% Total 14.5% The SMaRT Station organics are sent to Z-Best Composting. An additional 20% of the SMaRT Station incoming material is separated as organics, but is landfilled because Z-Best Composting no longer receives the organic material due to increases in material delivery from other facilities and limited processing capacity at Z-Best Composting.

Page 4: To: Zero Waste Committee From: Paul Henderson, General ...€¦ · To update the Zero Waste Committee on a staff review of mixed waste processing facilities in the United States.

The SMaRT Station received construction and demolition waste in addition to ICI and residential, which was hand sorted in a floor sort prior to processing in the MWMRF. The concrete, soil, yard trimmings and wood appeared to be removed during that hand sort rather in the MWMRF. As noted in the table, only 4.5% of incoming material was recovered as traditional residential and ICI recyclables (fibre, plastic, glass and metal). Reported recovery rates of traditional recyclables ranged from 10% - 15% reported at Greenwaste, to 25% reported at Western Placer. Newby Island staff reported approximately 20% recovery of traditional recyclables from the dry line. This was in spite of dry waste being rich in paper and cardboard. The wet line which was reported to process about the same amount of material as the dry line appeared to recover nominal traditional recyclables. When asked, the operator did not communicate the amount of recyclables recovered from the wet line, but suggested 65-70% overall recovery rates for the MWMRF. It would appear from the facilities visited that the maximum achievable recovery rate for traditional recyclables from MWMRFs is in the range of 10-15%. Reported recovery rates higher than this depend on removing organics out of the waste stream used as either alternative daily cover or processed Z-Best Composting. (e) Landfilled Recyclable Materials All of the visited MWMRF facility operators reported landfilling materials that were potentially recyclable due to increased quality standards in China. Rejection of North American and European recyclables has been recently reported in the Metro Vancouver media. China is increasingly rejecting recycled materials that do not meet quality standards. It is uncertain how long this situation will be in place. One facility reported landfilling approximately an additional 10,000 tonnes per year of fibre due to increased quality standards. This would represent approximately 20% of all of the reported recycling for the facility. Another facility reported that the only way they could market fibre recovered from the mixed waste was by blending it with source separated materials, given the odour and low quality of the mixed waste fibre. A third facility was landfilling the output of a fibre line that was intended to be a product, and thus was baled prior to landfilling. Operators also reported landfilling plastic containers. (f) Mixed Waste Composting Facilities The trade journal BioCycle reported only 16 mixed MSW composting facilities in the United States in 2005. By 2011, only 10 remained (including Z-Best Composting), one of which was converting to refuse-derived fuel production. In comparison, the Composting Council of Canada reports over 200 source separated composting facilities in Canada alone. Mixed waste composting facility operators have found it challenging to produce a product that is usable outside of a landfill environment. Mixed waste compost contaminants typically include small pieces of plastic and glass which are very difficult to separate from compost and make the product aesthetically problematic. Even in agricultural applications, mixed waste compost is not

desirable because the plastic and glass stay in fields for years, well after the organic material degrades. Metro Vancouver staff visited Z-Best Composting. The composting facility operator estimated about 10% recovered recyclables, 30% moisture loss, 30% saleable compost and 30% residual. To staff’s knowledge, no detailed operating data are publicly available for the facility. (g) Operating Cost Three of the four visited MWMRFs provided only anecdotal cost information. The Sunnyvale SMaRT Station reported $21 million per year cost net of recycling revenues to process 181,000 tons of mixed waste (about $116 per US ton, or $130 per metric tonne). This included operating the MWMRF plus remote landfill disposal of residuals. Reported net costs include costs and revenues from source separated recyclables processed at the same facility in a separate processing line. The source separated recycling line would likely result in net revenues, reducing the reported cost of the MWMRF. (h) Metro Vancouver Context All of the MWMRFs visited by Metro Vancouver staff have been developed through community based decisions for management of municipal solid waste. In each case, mixed waste is directed to the facilities through franchising or another waste flow management tool. The Metro Vancouver Board could decide to implement mixed waste material recovery at existing or future Regional Facilities to supplement source diversion programs. For organics in particular, given the quantity of organics in the waste stream, and given the challenges of source separation programs in sectors such as multi-family, there may be opportunities to recover additional organics from the waste stream. If on the other hand, MWMRFs are developed directly by the private sector outside of the Metro Vancouver residual disposal system, the following conditions would need to be in place for the operation of the MWMRFs to be economic:

- The private sector operators would need to be able to at their option collect a combination of waste and recyclables in a single collection container (“one big bin” approach) to increase convenience for generators and reduce collection costs.

- Either organics would need to be stripped out for management at mixed waste composting facilities and/or all residuals would need to be disposed of in a lower cost disposal system.

These conditions for success of MWMRFs are inconsistent with the ISWRMP:

- Allowing a “one big bin” approach would conflict with source separation efforts and change waste collection competition dynamics as companies operating or using MWMRFs would have different operating requirement than companies using Regional Facilities where material bans and prohibitions require source separation.

- Private sector facilities cheaply disposing of residuals, thus undercutting the Regional Facilities, would reduce incentive to recycle and reduce Metro Vancouver’s ability to ensure cost –effective, equitable solid waste services for the region.

Page 6: To: Zero Waste Committee From: Paul Henderson, General ...€¦ · To update the Zero Waste Committee on a staff review of mixed waste processing facilities in the United States.

A “one big bin” approach would disadvantage local recyclers that depend on a requirement to separate at source, e.g. organics processors such as Harvest Power, Envirosmart, Earth Renu and others. ALTERNATIVES This is an information report. No alternatives are presented CONCLUSION Staff from Metro Vancouver and the City of Vancouver visited mixed waste processing facilities in California in late April 2013 to examine their governance, operation, and performance. Mixed waste processing facilities visited were found to be high cost and recover limited recyclables. Facilitating the development of private sector MWMRFs in Metro Vancouver would be inconsistent with the ISWRMP and disadvantage local recyclers that depend on source separated materials.

SMaRT Station® Annual Report 2011-2012

Innovative Solutions to Challenges of SMaRT “Fines” GlassThe SMaRT Station houses two massive rotating trommels that serve many purposes during the sorting of material moving through the recovery process. As sharp blades tear open garbage bags to spill and sort their contents, two differently-sized holes inside the trommels allow specific recyclable materials to fall through to conveyors for further sorting: nine-inch holes allow plastic and metal containers to fall through; four-inch holes allow for separation of organic food scraps, leaves and dirt. Unfortunately, broken glass also falls through the holes as a result of being tumbled around inside the trommels.

The glass is problematic to the organic portion of the sorted material, called 2-inch minus fines, due to the inability of composters to find markets for the material once it is composted. Currently, Z-Best in Gilroy has agreed to take 500 tons of the compostable material generated at the SMaRT Station, but will not take the additional 1,900 tons that are available. SMaRT Station staff have been exploring innovative solutions to remove glass from the organics. X-ray technology, for example, identifies dense particles, then uses air blowers to blow off the contaminants. Air-gravity separator equipment uses vibration and pressurized air to separate heavier impurities from the rest of the material. This method is typically used in agricultural settings to remove rocks from peanuts, coffee beans, corn or other food grains.

While the solution to the glass challenge will definitely benefit both the SMaRT partners and SMaRT operator by helping increase diversion goals, it will also pave the way for other material recovery facilities in the region, and around the country, that are faced with the same glass contamination issue.

Cover-Your-Load Campaign Gets ResultsBeginning in December 2011, Sunnyvale Solid Waste and Water Pollution Prevention staff implemented an anti-litter campaign requiring drivers who haul waste materials to the SMaRT Station to cover their loads, or pay a fee of $15 and receive a tarp for future use. The fee was authorized by the Sunnyvale City Council with the goal of increasing compliance with the state law that requires loads to be covered. The primary intent of tarping loads is to reduce roadside litter, which often finds its way into storm drains or blows directly into the Bay, threatening the health and safety of marine life. Littered items on roadways also cause collisions, even fatalities, when drivers swerve to avoid them.

Of the 1,502 vehicles that entered the SMaRT Station at the programs’s inception, 229 drivers were assessed the $15 fee and given a tarp, indicating 84.8 percent of customers were in compliance at the start of the campaign. One hundred fifty-nine drivers paid fees and got tarps among the 3,247 Sunnyvale residents who took advantage of no-cost dumping at the SMaRT Station during Extra Dumping Weekends in March and April, indicating that compliance rates had risen to 95.1 percent. Following the event, untarped loads have declined steadily to a mere 0.05 percent. As of September 2012, 99.5 percent of public haul customers are entering the facility with covered loads. Roadways in the vicinity of the SMaRT Station are cleaner and the chances of litter entering the Bay are reduced.

1 ARTICLE 18. DIVERSION STANDARDS

2 18.1 Diversion Standards.

3 • The minimum Residential Yard Trimmings (“YT”) diversion standard is ninety-4 five percent (95%);

5 • The minimum Multi Family Dwelling (“MFD”) Residential Solid Waste (“RSW”)6 diversion standard is seventy percent (70%);

7 • The minimum Single Family Dwelling (“SFD”) Neighborhood Clean-Up8 (‘NCU”) diversion standard is seventy-five percent (75%), with a target to9 achieve ninety percent (90%);

10 • The minimum City Facility processing diversion standard is seventy percent11 (70%);

12 • The minimum Public Litter Container (“PLC”) diversion standard is seventy13 percent (70%).

14 • Should the CITY exercise the option to Process SFD RSW as described in15 Section 9.4, CONTRACTOR shall commit to a seventy percent (70%)16 diversion standard with a six-month ramp-up period after start-up to achieve17 the diversion standard.

18 18.2 Yard Trimmings Diversion Standard Calculation.

19 18.2.1 Annual Diversion Standard.

20 Beginning January 1, 2011, CONTRACTOR shall achieve a YT21 diversion rate of not less than ninety five percent (95%) per calendar year in22 CONTRACTORs Service Districts.

23 18.2.2 Annual Calculation.

24 The YT diversion rate will be calculated on a calendar year basis25 beginning January 1,2011, as the tons of YTcollected less the tons of YT26 Processing Residue divided by the tons of YT collected in the applicable calendar27 year:

RD:RLT4/28/11

1 CONTRACTOR agree in writing on an alternative methodology, for the purposes2 of calculating the YT diversion rate, the tons of YT Processing Residue will be3 determined as follows:

4 • First, there shall be determined the fraction of the materials5 delivered to the CWPF and the Composting Facility that represents6 YT attributable to CITY pursuant to this Agreement. This fraction7 (the ClTY Fraction”) shall be determined by adding the tons of8 CITY’s YT delivered directly to the CWPF and the tons of CITY’s YT9 delivered directly to the Composting Facility, and dividing that sum

10 by the total tons of YT (from all sources) delivered to both facilities.11 The CITY Fraction shall be truncated to four (4) decimal places.

12 • Second, there shall be determined the total tonnage of Residue13 generated at the CWPF and the Composting Facility.

14 • Third, the total tonnage of Residue shall be multiplied by the CITY15 Fraction. That product shall be the tonnage of YT Processing16 Residue used in the calculation of the YT diversion rate as set forth17 in Section 18.2.2 above.

18 • Example: If (a) the tons of YT collected pursuant to this19 Agreement was 1,000 tons delivered directly to the CWPF and20 500 tons delivered directly to the Composting Facility, (b) the21 total tons of material delivered to the CWPF was 1,200 and the22 total tons delivered to the Composting Facility was 2,000, and23 (C) the Residue generated at the CWPF was 28 tons and at the24 Composting Facility was 36 tons, then the YT Processing25 Residue would be 30 tons.

26 [(1,000 + 500)/(1,200 + 2,000)] x (28 + 36) = 30

27 18.2.4 Alternate Capacity Facility.

28 In the event CONTRACTOR delivers YT collected pursuant to this29 Agreement to an alternate facility as provided in Section 9.11, CONTRACTOR30 shall report to CITY all tonnages for the alternate facility as determined by the31 City Representative as necessary for the calculation of the YT diversion rate. If32 CONTRACTOR does not provide such tonnages. CITY may, at its option, not33 include that tonnage in the calculation of the YT diversion rate or may substitute34 alternative data that in the sole opinion of CITYs Director of Environmental35 Services is representative of the missing data.

8 18.3.1 Calculation of Multi Family Dwelling Residential Solid Waste Diversion9 E.

10 The diversion rate for the MFD RSW shall be calculated as the total11 tons of RSW which are collected from MFD Service Units delivered to the CWPF12 less the sum of the Residue from the processing of the material, divided by the13 total tons of RSW which is collected from MFD Service Units. The tons of14 Residue attributable to the processing of this material shall be calculated based15 on an audit performed in accordance with Section 18.3.2.

16 18.3.2 Audit of Multi Family Dwelling Residential Solid Waste Diversion Rate.

17 CONTRACTOR shall perform semi-annual audits of the program and18 coordinate the audits with the City Representative as to dates and volume of19 material with a minimum volume of 40 tons for each audit. The data from the20 audits shall be used to calculate Residue rates at the CWPF and Composting21 Facility.

28 tons of CFSW which is delivered from City Facilities. The tons of Residue

29 attributable to the processing of this material shall be calculated based on the

30 percentage derived from the Audit of MFD RSW as described in Exhibit 8 (MFD
