IV. PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
The City of Boynton Beach has long supported recycling as an
environmentally and energy-conscious alternative waste disposal practice.
APPENDIX A illustrates on-going City recycling programs, as well es their
scope and variety. As also noted, the City proposes to continue
its recycling efforts in accordance with the policies adopted in both the
Intergovernmental Coordination element and the Solid Waste Sub-Element of the
Utilities Element of the City's 1989 Comprehensive Plan. To accomplish these
objectives, a fiscal year phasing plan was adopted in the 2nd year grant
application which is described below in Section V. This plan addresses the
City's approximately ~2,300 households which are occupied at an estimated 2.2
persons per household, for a total year-round population of over 49,000.
V. OPERATIONAL STRATEGY:
The City's Comprehensive Plan states that "Implementing the plan for
solid waste will be the responsibility of the Public Works Deparumenu.
Progress evaluation and plan updates should be provided by the Departmenn."
Likewise, the Plan states that "Monitoring and evaluation of local recycling
programs should be assisted by the Solid Waste Authority." The adopted
"Interlocal Agreement for Municipal Recycling" dated 9-30-89 refers to
the above and provides a vehicle for City curbside and multi-family recycling
programs in cooperation with the Solid Waste Authority.
Adopted by the City Commission on September 5, 1989, the following
phasing plan provides for a multi-faceted, in-house recycling program to be
conducted by the City's Sanitation Division (residential curbside and
Municipal Recycling Program Grant Application (Continued)
Page Two
mnlti-family/condo recycling), the Facilities Management Division (office
recycling) and other departments as applicable.
Phase I (FY 89-90) - Assume responsibility of existing SWA curbside
pi±or and e~rpand as resources permit.
Phase II (by FY 90-91) - Expand curbside program to approximately
b0~ coverage of the City's households.
Phase II~ ~by. FY,93-94~ - Complete program coverage for 100% of the
~lt¥'~ popu±atlon/housenolds and commercial/industrial sectors to
include not only curbside, but also any other appropriate method.
To accommodate Phase I of the program, the City purchased a $75,000
specialty recycling vehicle which went into operation in April 1990, servicing
the pre-existing SWA curbside pilot program established in October, 1988. Two
additional routes of approximately one thousand homes each were established in
Auguss, 1990 and a fourth route was established in October, 1990. The first
multi-family (condominium) service was implemented in July of 1990, with a
second location added in October of 1990. A second curbside vehicle and
additional rolloff recycling containers for multi-far~ily program expansion
were purchased in order to meet the Phase II goal.
To acco~odate Phase III the equipmenL needs are estimated to be a total
of four trucks plus sufficient recycling containers Lo accommodate additional
routes. Staffing needs will be determined according Lo budgeLary and other
constraints utilizing the Sanitation Division's recent experience with
interfacing the recycling functions into its other garbage and trash
collection operation. Personnel requirements for other (i.e., non-curbside)
recycling programs will be accommodated by existing City staff and/or private
contractors.
VI. EDUCATIONAL STRATEGY:
The City will continue to utilize the services and promotional materials
provided by the Solid WasLe Authority. Information will continue to bs
provided through mailings such as nosices in the City's quarterly newsletter,
"GATEWAY", the quarterly Recreation and Parks Department's PROGRAM BUIJ.ETIN,
monthly utility bill notices, the monthly employee newsletter, and through
direct contact (presentations, flyers, displays, etc.) where appropriate.
Also, materials are distributed during surmmer camps conducted by the City's
Recreation and Parks Department (recyclables are also collected during these
programs).

VII. MATERIALS RECOVERY ESTIMATES AND DISPOSITION:
Estimates of materials recovery remain as stated in previous years' grant
applications and as extrapolated from historical data provided by the
Authority. An estimated recovery ra~e per household of between 900-1000
pounds per home per year (aluminum, glass, plastic and newsprint combined) is
assumed in the City of Boynson Beach. An average of 950 pounds per
home per year throughout the program suggests a recovery total at Phase III
completion of approximately 12,000 tons per year (25,000 households x 950
pounds per household).
Disposition of recyclable materials collected b~ the City will continue
5o be solely at the Solid Waste Authority's facilities. Recyclables collected
at the City's Recycling Center and will be disposed of by the contract
operasor.

Strategies to evaluate the operational and educational programs related
to recycling will continue 5o be in cooperation with the Solid Waste
Authority, in accordance with the adopted InterlocalAgreement for Municipal

all additional routes and programs as they come on line. Promotional and
educational responsibilities are outlined in Section 14. of the agreement and
are being complied with on an on-going basis.
X. CONCLUSION:
The City has worked closely with the SWA in pursuit of statutory waste
reduction goals and has aggressively pursued a variety of recycling p~ograms
toward that end. In accordance with the gran5 application guidelines provided
by SWA correspondence dated June 23, 1991, a "fourth year" grant request is
hereby submitted for $58,000.
