WASTE ALTERNATIVES PROGRAM).
THIS PROJECT ADVANCES THE GOALS OF THE SOLID
Oakland County, Michigan has begun to implement a thoroughly, integrated,
regional solid waste management program that includes materials reuse,
waste reduction,- recycling (up to two County-owned 400 ton per day
materials recovery facilities), composting (at least one regional 300 ton
per day facility), household hazardous waste collection, resource recovery
(up to three 1500 ton per day facilities), and landfilling (a County-owned
facility with a life of 40 years). A key element in the successful
implementation of this integrated system is the dissemination of
information to the County's residents. Only education can unite the
citizens in Oakland County to respond favorably to the plans that County
leaders have corrunitted to turn into a reality.
Oakland County's resource recovery education project will promote an
understanding of current solid waste disposal problems; identify solid
waste management solutions that the State, Oakland County, and local
municipalities are pursuing; and convey a sense of individual
responsibility to each citizen to participate in these waste management
solutions.
--7)--S1-7ff1 -FTECTIVE5 FOR THE17771 S) FUNDED THROUGH THE SOLID WASTE ALTERNATIVES PROGRAM.
The education project will target Oakland County residents and schools.
Two primary means of communication will be used to educate these groups:
monthly County newsletters sent to interested residents (identified by
advertisements to develop a mailing list) and all County municipalities;
and classroom solid waste educational programs centered around distribution
of pamphlets discussing all facets of responsible waste management and
appropriate contacts in the County and the local municipality who can
provide additional information.
The success of the education project will be evaluated by public reaction
to County facilities and municipality programs; participation in these
programs and materials recovery rates; and a survey of local municipality
leaders to receive their feedback and suggestions. The County will submit
reports to the State summarizing the information received through the above
evaluation.

1. INTRODUCTION
Oakland County has engaged in extensive studies and planning for over 12
years to establish a regional integrated County solid waste disposal
system in the County. These studies have addressed siting facilities,
financing the system, recovered resources markets, and technology
alternatives. Appendix A includes summaries from these reports.
Oakland County received grant money from the State of Michigan under the
Act 641 solid waste management planning program to conduct some of these
studies and to prepare the original County solid waste management plan.
The funding received is as follows:

1-1
As this history of planning and study demonstrates, Oakland County has
devoted a great deal of attention and effort to planning an effective
solid waste management program. These efforts have provided the County
with the data and knowledge that it requires to proceed into
implementation.
The County has now begun to implement an integrated regional program
that will include waste reduction and reuse, recycling (up to two 400
ton per day- materials recovery facilities), composting (at least
regional 300 ton per day facility), household hazardous waste
collection, resource recovery combustion (up to three 1500 ton per day
facilities) and landfilling (to provide 40 years of life for the
County). A key element in the implementation of this integrated system
is the diss9mination of information to the County's residents. The
development and distribution of educational materials must correspond
with the implementation of each aspect of the County's system to ensure
success.
To ensure that the appropriate expertise is applied to implementation of
this enoumoos project, the County has assembled the following team of
consultants to assist:

and contract
negotiations and
implementation

1-3
Recycling Resource Recycling Systems
(Resource Recycling Systems is located in
Ann Arbor, Michigan and specializes in the
development and implementation of waste
reduction and recycling programs.)
These consultants bring to Oakland County's solid waste program many
years of eNperience gained throughout the united States. Appendix B
contains the qualifications for each of these firms and provides
discussions of solid waste projects that have been successfully
implemented.
Oakland County has received $300,000 from the Michigan Public Services
Commission through the Michigan Resource Recovery Implementation Program
to implement its first 1500 ton per day resource recovery facility
project. Thus far in the implementation process, the project team has
negotiated a contract with Westinghouse Electric Corporation to design,
construct and operate (for 20 years) a 1500 ton per day resource
recovery facility. The County has decided to finance the project by
issuing bonds. The project team is now ready to begin the permitting
process, negotiate the energy contract with Detroit Edison, and
negotiate with communities. to commit their waste to the facility. The
project is being implemented, as expeditiously as possible to relieve the
landfill capacity shortage in Oakland County. Please note that this
grant application did not include funding for public education; it
provided monies for the actual facility implementation activities.
The County is also pursuing other activities. Currently a Request for
Qualifications/Request for Proposals is being prepared by the project
team to begin negotiations to procure a contractor to design, construct,
and operate (for 10 years) up to two 400 ton per day materials recovery
facilities. A landfill siting advisory committee has been assembled,
composed of representatives from various interest groups and
geographical areas in the County. This committee, working with the
consultant, will identify a landfill site in Oakland County capable of
1-4
serving for 40 years by September 1989. The County is currently
identifying an appropriate composting site and developing a long and
short term strategy for collecting household hazardous waste, thereby
diverting it from the municipal waste stream.
Oakland County is actively supporting the reuse and recovery of
materials as well as promoting disposal facilities. The County offices
are currently implementing an office paper recycling program, and the
County is reviewing its procurement procedures to incorporate the
purchase of recycled materials to the extent feasible.
The County cannot implement a successful solid waste management program
without the support of its municipalities. Although the County will
provide facilities to process and dispose of waste generated within its
borders, the municipalities will be responsible for causing the
transportation of the waste to the County's facilities. The details of
the agreement that will be made between the County and the
municipalities are explained in detail in the draft Intergovernmental
Agreement for Solid Waste Disposal Services contained in Appendix C of
this application it should be noted that this document is still in
draft form).
The next section of this application, Need for Project, discusses how
the resource recovery education program is intertwined with all of the
activities described above and stresses the importance of proper citizen
education to encourage responsible solid waste management.
1-5
2. Need For Resource Recovery
Education
Michigan's Solid Waste Policy contains a statement from Governor
Blanchard that includes the following statement:
"Change will not be easy. Attacking our solid waste
problem means altering our waste disposal habits, taking
extra time and effort to manage garbage properly. But I am
confident Michigan's citizens will join us in fulfilling a
vision of our future that preserves the beauty of our air,
water, and land, an endowment which we must guard carefully
for generations to come, Please join us in working to act
upon Michigan's new solid waste policy."
The most critical step in getting citizens motivated and interested in
participating in new programs for solid waste management is taken
through education.
Although many close to the solid waste management industry understand
the current concerns and challenges faced by those responsible for waste
disposal, many do not recognize the importance of producing less waste,
implementing a recycling program, removing taxies from the waste stream,
or minimizing the amount of waste deposited in the land forever. As
long as the garbage is taken from their doorstep each week, there is no
problem in their minds.
Only education can create the mindset necessary to successfully
implement the solid waste management policy proposed by the State of
Michigan and pursued by Oakland County. Only education can bring
knowledge that things cannot remain status quo, that changes in waste
disposal habits are necessary to avoid a disposal crisis that is raging
right now in the Northeast United States. Only education can unite the
2-1
majority of citizens in Oakland County to respond favorably to the
ambitious plans that County leaders have begun to turn into reality.
Oakland County has recently approved a contract for Westinghouse to
design, construct, and operate a 1500 ton-per-day resource recovery
facility. The County is ready to negotiate another contract with a
contractor to design, construct, and operate up to three 400 ton per day
materials recovery facilities. The County also is in the process of
identifying a composting site for a 300 ton-per-day facility and
developing a household hazardous waste collection program. The County
is investing over $500 million in these disposal facilities, which will
be available for the citizens of Oakland County to use, but without
their support, success will be limited - especially if participation is
minimal,
The County must solicit the support of the municipalities to enter into
intergovernmental agreements to use the facilities (see Appendix C) so
the County can be sure to meet its contractual obligations to deliver
waste to the facilities operators. Just as the County leaders must
obtain the support of their municipalities, the municipality leaders
must obtain the support of their constituents to agree to participate in
the County's program. Public education will be a key to gaining this
support.
Education will also be key to achieving the potential offered by
establishment of the programs. Once the facilities are operating, the
citizens must recycle to produce materials for the composting facility
and material recovery facilities to process; citizens must remove toxics
from their waste to permit the collection of household hazardous waste;
and citizens must understand facts about resource recovery facilities
and landfills to avoid unrealistic fears associated with facility
siting.
2-2
As discussed in the Introduction, Oakland County has assembled a project
team with unmatched expertise (refer to Appendix B for a discussion of
project implementation successes). These consultants will combine
resources to produce materials for publication that address important
aspects of the County's solid waste management program, such as
environmental protection issues, financial responsibility, and detailed
instructions for citizen participation. Samples of all materials
produced will be shared with appropriate State agencies to enhance the
educational database available for communities throughout Michigan.
Many solid waste projects throughout the country have not succeeded
because they did not gain the citizen support necessary to make them
work. Oakland County, with the assistance of its team of project
consultants, plans to provide communication to its citizens to convey
the importance of reduced reliance on landfilling and to emphasize the
importance of strong citizen support.
The next section of this application, Project Goals, presents the
overall direction of Oakland County's resource recovery education
project.
2-3
3. Project Goals
The project goals for Oakland County's resource recovery education
program are
o To promote an understanding of current solid waste disposal
problems.
o To identify solid waste management solutions that the State of
Michigan, Oakland County and local municipalities currently are
pursuing,
o To convey a sense of individual responsibility to each citizen in
Oakland County to participate positively in the County's and
municipalities solid waste programs.
These goals will be accomplished by meeting the objectives set forth in
Section 4 of this application and by using the procedures outlined in
Section 5.
3-1
4. Project Objectives
As described in Section 2 of this application, public education will be
a key element in implementing a successful solid waste management
program in Oakland County.
Over one million people currently live in over 400,000 households in the
County; over 600,000 people currently work in the County. Recent
studies estimate that nearly two million tons of waste per year is
generated within Oakland County borders (refer to Appendix 0 for
detailed demographo and waste generation information gathered for
Oakland County's draft Act 641 Solid Waste Management Plan Update). The
County's resource recovery educational program must be designed to
effectively- reach as much of its residential and business communities as
possible.
Working within the budget discussed in detail in Section 7, Oakland
County is targeting two primary groups: the residential sector and the
school systems. Most of the people employed in the County also live in
the County. Therefore, communication directed to the residential
population will also reach the majority of the business community.
Furthermore, citizens in kindergarten through high school (which totals
over 200,000 in Oakland County) can be an effective motivating group on
the home-front. Often, habits and values that may be difficult to
change in older individuals are more easily influenced in younger age
groups. Bringing new ideas home, younger individuals can cause changes
to occur in parents that may not have happened without persistent
reminders from children.
Thus, Oakland County's objectives in developing its resource recovery
education program are to direct educational information On solid waste
4-4
management to County residents and schools. This effort not only will
reach the majority of people living and working within the County, but
also will target a demographic group (school-aged residents) with large
potential to be willing to alter their attitudes toward responsible
solid waste management and to help motivate others to change their
disposal habits as well.
The County intends to begin its education program as soon as possible,
phasing in various components as the solid waste management program
proceeds.
The next section of this application, Procedures, describes the specific
tools that the County will use in its education program in detail, and
provides a tiwcframe for release of each component of the resource
recovery education program.
5. Procedures
Oakland County is targeting its residents and school population for its
resource recovery education program (refer to Section 4 for
explanation). Two primary means of communication will be used to
accomplish education of these groups:
o Monthly County solid waste management newsletters sent to
interested residents and all County municipalities.
o Classroom solid waste educational programs centered around
distribution of pamphlets discussing current solid waste disposal
problems; waste reuse and reduction; recycling programs and
recyclable materials; and examples of household hazardous waste,
the importance of removing these toxics from the waste stream, and
programs currently available to collect these materials.
The monthly newsletters will be produced by the County and its
consultants and will be mailed to interested residents and all County
municipalities. Interested residents will be identified by advertising
the availability of the newsletters and developing a mailing list. The
newsletter will be a one-page briefing on relevant issues surrounding
the solid waste management program. Appendix E contains examples of a
similar newsletter that DuPage County, Illinois is distributing. Topics
that Oakland County envisions covering in their newsletters are:
o Overview of current solid waste management and existing and future
disposal problems.
o Explanation of solutions to solid waste management problems that
the State of Michigan and Oakland County have adopted and are
implementing.
5--i
o Waste reduction and reuse habits that can be practiced in the home
and business, including a list of reuse centers in the County,
such as secondhand stores or charities available.
o Recycling programs, existing and planned, and detailed
descriptions of how-to's in recycling. This newsletter also will
be available to Oakland County municipalities as they initiate
programs.
o Composting - available collection sites, description of how to
begin a backyard compost operation, and a discussion of what
materials are compostable.
o Resource recovery facilities, a general description, and a brief
discussion of environmental issues currently associated with them,
referring to future newsletters that will address these issues.
o Resource recovery and air quality.
o Resource recovery and ash disposal.
o Landfilling - a discussion of past practices and current
regulations and design requirements.
The chart on the following page illustrates Oakland County's solid waste
management program schedule. The Board of Commissioners and County
Executive are responsible for monitoring the implementation of this
schedule. Release of the newsletters will coincide with events shown on
the program schedule, as shown on the project Timetable form provided by
the MDNR.
Thus, as soon as possible (assuming project start date of October 1989),
the County would begin issuing its newsletters providing an overview of
current solid waste management and disposal problems and providing an

explanation of solutions to these problems that Michigan and Oakland
County are pursuing. The County will produce and distribute at the
minimum nine newsletters (described earlier).
The costs incurred by the County for production of these newsletters
will be from:
o Newsletter production coordination.
o Development of newsletter text.
o Printing.
o Distribution.
These costs are discussed in detail in section 7 of this applicatien.
Costs ineured beyond the budget of this grant will be paid through the
County's general fund.
The second primary educational tool that Oakland County plans to develop
is a pamphlet, distributed to the schools, that discusses current Solid
waste management practices and problems and emphasizes solutions that
the State of Michigan and Oakland County are pursuing. As currently
envisioned, this pamphlet will address the following topics:
o Waste reuse and reduction
o Recycling and recyclables
o Composting
o Resource recovery facilities
o Landfills.
Although these pamphlets will be fairly simple, they will include .
important information that is necessary for successful County and
municipality integrated solid waste management, and they will include
the contact person in the County and the local municipality who can
provide additional information on the area's recycling and solid Waste
management program.
5-3
The pamphlet will be designed to be convenient in the home - displayed
on refrigerators, held in counter-top paper holders, or saved in
frequently accessed files. An example of the format of the pamphlet is
provided in Appendix E. Although the County would include other
information in its pamphlet (as described above), the example
illustrates the size and layout contemplated by Oakland County.
Oakland County would like to begin its public education program in the
schools in January 1990. Referring to the County's solid waste
management program schedule, in January 1990, the contractor will begin
construction of the County's first materials recovery facility (MRF),
the composting site will be readied to accept yard waste, grass
clippings, and lake weeds, the County will be negotiating contracts with
communities to use its first resource recovery facility, the landfill
design will be underway in preparation of the RFQ/RFP for construction
of the facility, and the County will be arranging the household
hazardous waste collection program (scheduled to begin in April 1990).
An education blitz at this point in the project would be beneficial to
getting good support and participation as the facilities open.
In addition to providing the pamphlets to the schools, Oakland County
intends to prepare a general format for the teachers to use when
presenting the information. Background information will be provided to
the instructors to better prepare them in presenting the solid waste
management program to their classes.
Examples of formats that could be developed for the teachers are:
o Focus on what types of materials are discarded each day in the
home. Identify how these materials could be eliminated, reused,
recycled or disposed of safely. Discuss what programs are
available to accomplish these disposal alternatives.
5-4
o Focus on facilities siting. Develop interest groups within the
class (group to site facility, nearby residents, developers,
environmentalists, politicians, State regulatory representatives)
and discuss potential issues for each group. Let the groups
interact in a mock public hearing, with the teacher as a moderator
to focus on the resolution of pertinent issues as they arise.
It may be beneficial to the educators to provide a lunchtime seminar on
solid waste management when background materials are distributed. The
County will investigate the need for this further as the program
develops.
The costs incurred by the County for production of the pamphlet and
development of the school educational program will be from
o Pamphlet production coordination.
o school program coordination.
o Development of pamphlet text.
o Development of classroom program.
o Printing.
These costs are discussed in detail in Section 7 of this application.
Costs incurred beyond the budget of this grant will be paid through the
County's general fund.

6. Resource Recovery Education
Program Evaluation
Oakland County's solid waste management program focuses on the
implementation of waste reuse and reduction and of facilities to process
and dispose of recyclables, cempostables, household hazardous waste, and
other municipal solid waste generated within its borders. To get waste
to the facilities, the County must coordinate closely with its
municipalities (as discussed in the Introduction of this application).
The municipalities ultimately will be responsible for the daily
1ogis_tics of collection, transportation and billing of residences and
businesses.
Evaluation of the success of the County's resource recovery education
project will occur through three primary mechanisms:
o Public reaction to County facilities and municipality programs.
Are issues arising that should be addressed by the County
newsletters?
o Participation in programs established by the County and the
municipalities - what quantity of recyclables is being received by
the materials recovery facilities, of compostables at the
composting facility, of household hazardous waste at collection
centers? Are certain areas participating more fully than others?
Can the areas not participating be better reached by the public
education program?
o County survey of local municipality leaders. What are
participation rates? Can public education be used to boost these
rates? What are their suggestions?
6-1
The County has established its first steps in providing public . education
on solid waste management (as described in Section 5). This program,
however, can be refined, modified, or enhanced as the need warrants it,
and Oakland County will be attentive constantly to feedback (through the
above three mechanisms) on the success of its educational tools. The
newsletters provide an excellent means for the County to react quickly
to issues that may arise as the solid waste management program is
implemented, and the County will use these newsletters to disseminate
factual information about hot topics.
Since the County will be maintaining records of waste received at its
processing and disposal facilities, it will have access to trends in the
use of the facilities, If use of a particular facility is not as
extensive as expected, the County could enhance its education program to
boost the participation •rates. This could be accomplished both through
the newsletters and emphasis during school programs.
A County survey of municipality leaders would occur three to six months
after the municipality's recycling program began. This survey would
identify the strengths and weaknesses in the recycling program. The
County could then suggest additional education programs that might help
(such as presentations to special interest groups) or provide additional
materials to the municipality for distribution to residences and
businesses.
Oakland County will measure the success of its educational program by
o The successful siting of its planned processing and disposal
facilities for household hazardous waste collection, composting,
recycling, resource recovery and landfilling.
o Strong participation in programs established by the County and its
municipalities.
6-2
Oakland County will submit all project summaries required by the Solid
Waste Alternatives Program Emergency Rules. Additionally, the County
will provide summaries of participation rates and materials received
every six months as the County's solid waste management program is being
implemented and FInnually after all of the facilities are operating.
Oakland County believes that its solid waste management program will be
a model for other communities in Michigan and throughout the country,
and the County intends to provide public education to ensure its
success The County will be pleased to assist the State in the future
by providing appropriate information on its resource recovery education
program and the role that education plays in solid waste management
program implementation.
6-3
7. Budget
As described in detail in Section 5 of this grant application, two
primary means of communication will be used to. accomplish resource
recovery education : monthly newsletters distributed to interested
residents and all County municipalities, and a classroom solid waste
educational program centered around distribution of informational
pamphlets.
The costs that will be incurred by the County for production of the
newsletter will be from:
o Newsletter production coordination.
o Development of newsletter text.
o Printing.
o Distribution.
The costs that will be incurred by the County for production of the
pamphlet and development of the school educational program will be from:
o Pamphlet production coordination.
o School program coordination.
o Development of pamphlet text.
o Development of classroom program.
o Printing..
The following tables provides estimates of the total cost of the
resource recovery education program planned by Oakland County. Appendix
F contains written estimates from typesetting and printing companies to
produce the newsletters and pamphlets.

six-month facilities processing data summaries for the resource
recovery facilities, material recovery facilities, composting facility,
7-4
household hazardous waste collection programs, and landfills and submit
it to the State for its records until all of the County's facilities
have been implemented. Once all facilities have been implemented, the
County will provide data to the State annually. The schedule assumes
that the first program to begin would be the household hazardous waste
collection program in April 1990. All facilities are expected to be
implemented by early 1994. Therefore, six month reports would be
prepared in 1991, 1992, and 1993, and annual reports would be prepared
thereafter. The budyet assumes a five year reporting period:
1991-1995.
15. Survey- municipalities: Throughout the implementation period (three to
six months after each municipality's recycling program began), the
County will survey municipalities initiating recycling programs to
determine the effectiveness of the County's education program. The
County contains 60 local municipalities; the budget assumes a survey of
each.
As required, DNR's Grant or Loan Budget form is provided on the following
page, summarizing the above project costs. Please note that this project
has not received previous funding through any other solid waste or resource
recovery grant program.
Oakland County believes that the resource recovery education program that
is contained within this application is the most effective use of the
$50,000 grant funding that the County is requesting. The County has
committed $12,500 of its own funds to this project (refer to Appendix G for
the resolution from the Board of County Commissioners) and assumes full
responsibility for any additional costs that may be incurred.
Oakland County will maintain detailed accounting records of this project to
keep track of eligible Costs and expenses of the grant budget. The County
will pay the costs as they are incurred through the County's general fund
and then submit the proper paperwork to the State in the format specified
