Background “Albuquerque Green” Program – environmental protection & conservation 2002 City Council Policy – supports waste reduction & recycling Mayor’s Zero Waste Goal – “No Landfilling by 2030” – waste = resource – emphasizes diversion (waste reduction & recycling), not disposal Development of Solid Waste Plan – Albuquerque’s first

Current Solid Waste Department Operations 3 Convenience Centers Eagle Rock Montessa Park Don Reservoir Cerro Colorado Landfill Compost Site Recycling Processing Facility Collections 173,000 Homes 14,190 Businesses

Current Solid Waste Department Operations Graffiti Removal Weed Removal & Litter Control Drop – Off Recycling

Current Status Of Recycling Limited City Operated Collection Services No Ongoing Public Education Program Limited Processing Capacity Trash Rates do not Encourage Recycling Vibrant Markets for Materials Drop-Off for Small Businesses Motivated Population Political Desire Private Sector Support Significant Opportunity for Growth

Potential Commercial Recycling Roles for City Passive – Information Supportive – Promotion, education, information – Building code requirements for recycling storage – Economic incentives in refuse rates Active – All of above + direct service for a fee

Elements of Promotion, Education and Information – On – site evaluations / audits – Technical assistance – Speakers Bureau – model programs – Recognition, awards, publicity – Regional materials reuse /exchange service
