RESOURCE RECYCLING SYSTEMS, INC.
pROPOSER SCOPF OF SER VICES
WASTE REDUCTION. RECYCLING AND COMPOSTING
IN COUNTY PLANNING FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
A GUIDEBOOK ON METHODS AND RESOURCES
INTRODUCTION
Resource Recycling Systems, Inc. is an environmental consulting firm that specializes in
waste reduction, recycling and composting aspects of solid waste management systems. RRS
clients are typically from both the private and public sector, and. have included governmental
agencies from the state to the municipal level.
RRS is a Michigan corporadon operating out of offices located in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The firm was founded in 1985 by the team of professionals responsible for the development of the
Recycle Ann Arbor program, a nationally recognized municipal recycling service that includes one
of Michigan's most successful curbside recycling programs.
Since 19E5, RRS staff have been involved in projects with fifteen Michigan counties that
have adopted solid waste management plans as required by P.A. 641. A review of these plans
shows that waste reduction, recycling and composdrig options received varying degrees of
coverage ranging from single paragraph references to comprehensive feasibility analysis. In most
cases these waste disposal options received favorable yet superficial consideration due to a lack of
information on evaluation methods, markets, technology, and institutional requirements.
Many new planning resources have become available since the development of these county
solid waste management plans. Resources include the experience of counties that have moved
forward on recycling and composting options; the Clean Michigan Fund sponsored background
research on recycling markets, institutional arrangements and technology; :en to fifteen_ recycling
and composting feasibility studies; and the track record. of these programs in other states.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has now requested that each county begin
the five year update process for these solid waste management plans. Designated planning
agencies throughout the stare will begin this process during the next srst months,. A county's
available staff, funds and committee time will be used more effectively if planning tools were
available that provided concise and accurate information. on the recycling/composting technologies,
different planning strategies, evaluation methodologies and other available resources.
PROPOSED PROGRAM
PS, Inc. proposes to develop such a tool for use by designated planning agencies in the
solid waste management planning process. Spec ifically, the following elements would be included
in the proposed guidebook:
Current P.A. 641 plans would be reviewed and a summary of the different approaches to
materials recovery planning prepared. This summary would quantitatively describe how current.
P.A. 641 plans addressed such feasibility questions as level of current materials recovery, available.
markets, quantity of recyclable material in the waste so -cam, estimates or; achievable levels of
recycling, capital. planning, siting, financing, etc..
. )=.= •
XXXXXXX -
30=Y-1',fX-X
XXXX
S.
• A limited number of suggested planning approaches would be described. Some of these
would be pulled from the P.A. 641 evaluation described above, while others would be compiled
from successful planning strategies used throughout the country.
• A decision tool would be provided to assist the planning agent in selecting the appropriate
planning approach for their particular set of circumstances. As an example, counties with no
documented materials recovery programs would be directed towards one approach; counties with
first or second generation programs would use a different planning approach: while counties with
waste-to-energy projects would find a third planning strategy more appropriate.
▪ Additional decision tools would provide step-by-step guidance to the planning agent in
proceeding with the selected planning approach.
• Available.resources would be identified to provide further assistance to the planning agent
in completing the planning process.
▪ Five Michigan case studies and a glossary of relevant terms would be provided, one case
study covering inteLhabon of recycling/composting with waste-to-energy facility planning.
Two master sets and five copies of the final document would be provided to the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources at the completion Of the project, 100 copies would be provided to
the sponsoring county.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS:
James Frey is Vice President of Resource Recycling Systems and would be the author of
