Manchester-by-the-Sea Starts Curbside Compost Collection
- 1. Manchester-by-the-Sea Curbside Compost Collection Starts April 14th R3, April 8th, 2014 1
- 2. 2
- 3. 3
- 4. The program: • Modeled after other programs—personal connections with Hamilton/Wenham • Residents collect food scraps in their kitchen • Place in their curbside cart/container on a regular basis • Wheel their cart to the curb once a week before 7am for pick up
- 5. Drivers and Benefits • The State plans to ban food waste starting with commercial generators this year (Organics = 40% of generated waste, next hit on the waste ban list) • $72 per ton to dispose of its trash • Residents pay per bag to dispose of their trash
- 6. • $ 40,000+ DEP grant for 2,300 carts, technical assistance and education • Wastewater Treatment Plant Impacts • 300 tons per year organic waste diversion • Net cost increase of $8,000 (2%) AND takes us to weekly, single stream recycling
- 7. • 4 months from Selectmen vote to first collection • Wildly popular by residents…and…politicians • Further greening of our community
- 9. To my municipal staff colleagues: Takeaway #1 (Better, just get out of the way)
- 10. #2 “Yabuts”: There are no “yabuts” for this.
- 11. Hearing it for the first time: I guess it’s a nice idea…. • Yabut #1 - too bleeding edge. Too many unanswered questions. No infrastructure for something like this in my area of the state. Just a couple of tiny examples in Mass. Need pilot studies, etc.. • Yabut #2 - I just don’t have the time, as much as I’d love to see this done
- 12. • Yabut #3 – even if it works, will citizens and politicians get behind it? It’ll be a lot of work to educate and get support from citizens and politicians
- 14. Yabut #1: No Haulers in my area that can do organics collection, especially residential curbside
- 15. • Hiltz, our hauler, sees it as a business opportunity, and is actively offering communities to revise their collection programs • Like many haulers, they are already collecting from commercial generators: pre- waste ban. • 90 days to get a split single stream recycling/organics truck
- 18. Yabut #1: There aren’t any processors in my area to support collection
