Subject: Challenges Associated with Use of ASR as Cover at Naples (Collier County) Landfill
Dear Mr. Rodriguez,
Waste Management Inc. of Florida (WMIF) is providing this correspondence to present
operational challenges associated with the proposed use of Auto Shredder Residuals (ASR) as
cover.
(1) The current mulch: dirt cover preparation area is unlined, which precludes use of this
area for receipt, processing, or storage of ASR or ASR:dirt mix;
(2) A new lined area with similar protected and limited exposure would have to be built
to accommodate this material;
(3) There is no dirt savings, as ASR must also be mixed 50:50 with dirt;
(4) The ASR will displace mulch in the cover mixture with the following consequences:
(a) reduction in tipping fees received ($3 for ASR vs $33.70 for yard waste);
(b) reduction in landfill gas production (yard waste produces gas, ASR does not);
(5) The analyticals are highly variable, making this an undependable cover source;
(6) Adding any kind of fines to a landfill will represent a higher maintenance cost to the
leachate and gas collection systems. Generally, gas wells will silt -in earlier than
expected, leachate force mains and sumps will have to be jetted/vacuum more often,
and leachate /condensate pumps will see a shorter life. These potential early failures
could cause system shut downs that could trigger potential offshe landfill odors.

For the reasons stated above, WMIF proposes that ASR not be considered a viable alternate daily
cover material at the Naples Landfill.
Please contact me at (239) 776 -5565 if you have any questions or require additional
information.
Sincere
Waste

In 2008, Garden Street completed its single largest expansion to date with the installation of
Southwest Florida's only automobile shredder. This 4600hp machine grinds complete scrap autos,
appliances, and steel into fist sized pieces at a rate of over 100 tons per hour. The shredded material
is then conveyed through an advanced technological separation system. Where magnets, screens,
eddy currents, and an ISS sorting system removes, sizes and separates the scrap to be recycled.
Today, Garden Street has three locations. Although we are the largest in Southwest Florida, we still
maintain our "family business" values and small business roots. While offering advanced services,
capacity and highly competitive prices of a 21 st century scrap metal recycling business.
