Dropoffs take an added significance

Article Abstract:

Dropoffs, or curbside recycling programs, are fast being legislated in many US states such as Delaware, Maine, Virginia, Tennessee and Pennsylvania. In these states, pilot programs are made operational in some strategic cities and towns. In Delaware, for example, 100 dropoffs facilities have been installed around the state by the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DWSA) in Sep 1991 after the state passed the Recycling and Waste Recycling Act in 1990. Consequently, DSWA expectations have been economically satisfied. In Portland, ME, the publicly-owned and managed Regional Waste Systems takes care of the state's recycling and solid waste disposal needs.

Siting the (benign) MRF

Article Abstract:

Siting recycling facilities has a direct impact on capital and operating costs, and thus merits considerable analysis. Important points to consider are travel time between pickup points, accessibility, flexibility and some non-processing related factors such as aesthetics and water resources. There is also a trend towards combining different types of processing facilities, which would naturally require further study.

Transfer station teams up with compost site

Article Abstract:

An overview is presented on the McPherson Area Solid Waste Authority in Kansas, focusing on tests to determine the feasibility of incorporating food residuals and biosolids in plant feedstock. The results for food residuals were favorable, but biosolids will require more testing as desired temperatures were not met.
