Recently extended Waste to Energy contract with WCC through 2014/2018. Owns and operates ash landfill permitted through 2014.

3. Why is Co-op Considering Single Stream Co-op Joint Board directed me to investigate. Started in 2005. Tipping fee increased in 2010. New contact with Wheelabrator. Went from $45.90/ton to $66.80/ton. Many Cooperative and associate communities will recycle more at less cost with single stream. – win/win Siting of new landfills very difficult. Historically recycling markets have been very stable.

4. What is Co-op’s Plan ? Investigating the possible construction of a single stream facility. $15 million. Need more recyclable material than Co-op communities can provide. Co-op has approximately 15,000 tons. Need additional 10,000 tons. Total 25,000. Meeting with potential Associate Members. Will be a publicly owned and privately operated facility. Have secured all permits and estimated costs. Presented information to Joint Board on June 24, 2010 and voted to proceed when 25,000 tons secured.
