Agenda 07/27/2010 Item #10AAgenda Item No. 10A July 27, 2010 Page 1 of 12 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to provide increased recycling services and household hazardous waste collection in North Naples by (1) authorizing staff to design and build a North Naples Recycling Center at a cost of $1,600,000; and (2) approve the acquisition of 1 acre +/- of land from the Collier County Water -Sewer District by the Solid Waste Management Department at a cost of $414,000 for the construction of the recycling center; and (3) authorize the necessary budget amendment. These actions will save valuable airspace, comply with the County's Growth Management Plan, and the Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategy by diverting recyclable materials from the landfill and protecting our natural resources. OBJECTIVE: The public purpose is to provide a conveniently located recycling center in northern Collier County for residents and small business owners to dispose of their recyclables and household hazardous materials to protect the environment and preserve valuable landfill airspace. CONSIDERATIONS: The Solid Waste Management Department (SWMD) is responsible for ensuring that the Collier County Landfill ( "Landfill ") has sufficient capacity available for the disposal of all municipal solid waste generated throughout the county. The Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategy approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on December 5, 2006, includes components related to: increasing source reduction, materials reuse, and recycling; diversion; optimizing existing assets and resources; and obtaining additional facilities. Based on the past successful development of the Marco Island Recycling Center, the SWMD finds that developing additional recycling centers in areas convenient to the public is a best value solution that will increase recycling and household hazardous waste collection and, in return, saving valuable landfill airspace and protecting our environment from illegal dumping. The new North Naples Recycling Center will be located on a one -acre +/- lot located on the west side of the Collier County Water -Sewer District -owned and operated North County Water Reclamation Facility (NCWRF) just south of the intersection of Goodlette Frank and Immokalee Roads. Access to the site will be from Goodlette Frank Road. The recycling center will not interfere with current or future planned operations of the water reclamation facility. The North Naples Recycling Center will be modeled after the Marco Island Recycling Center, which has been recognized as a best -in- the - nation recycling facility for its ability to serve the community through recycling and the protection of the em- iromnent. The new North Naples facility will provide increased recycling services for that community by providing a convenient collection center for recyclable materials and household hazardous wastes including batteries, florescent light bulbs, used oil, herbicides, pesticides, tires, and many other hazardous materials. All materials will be properly housed and packaged for recycling and final disposal. It is estimated that the North Naples Recycling Center will collect and ship out over 600 tons per year of recyclable and household hazardous materials (based on current recycling operations). The investment in the North Naples Recycling Center will save taxpayer funds by lessening our dependency on the Collier County Landfill and extend its life cycle. By diverting valuable recyclables to available markets, the county will recognize additional revenue to help offset disposal cost for other materials. Agenda Item No. 10A July 27, 2010 Page 2 of 12 The entire NCWRF site, including the area planned for the construction of the North Naples Recycling Center is zoned I- Industrial that allows as a permitted use the local collecting and transporting of refuse, without disposal (SIC code 4212). The operations of the planned recycling center are consistent with this zoning requirement. The Solid Waste Management Department maintains a very strict and comprehensive good neighbor policy and invites our residents to tour our facilities. On July 2, 2010, community associations within a three mile radius of the project site were sent an information packet which contained a description of the proposed facility, function and funding of the facility, identification of acceptable and unacceptable materials that would be received at the facility, a color site plan of the proposed facility, and invitation to tour the Marco Island Recycle Center, and notification of the date and time for a public information meeting to be held on July 13, 2010 at the North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District on Veterans Park Drive. Notification of the meeting was published in the Naples Daily News on July 7 and July 12, 2010. This new facility will not negatively impact the residents of North Naples, but rather will enhance their ability to protect their environment by properly disposing of household hazardous waste materials and increasing recycling. With Board approval, staff will provide public presentations to the homeowners' associations adjacent to the site to educate and inform them of the availability of this new facility. Note that the Solid Waste Management Department has not received any complaints related to noise, odor, or other operations related to the Marco Island Recycling Center or its other recycling facilities. Most importantly, this new recycling center will further enhance the recycling rates for Collier County. This year, the Florida legislature passed a new statute that requires increased recycling by municipal governments. As outlined in Florida Statute 403.7032(2), "by the year 2020 the long -tern goal for the recycling efforts of state and local government entities, private companies and organizations, and the general public is to reduce the amount of recyclable solid waste disposed of in waste management facilities, "landfills," or incineration facilities by a statewide average of at least 75 %." This statute is consistent with the Board approved Integrated Solid Waste Management strategy which calls for increased recycling countywide. Real Property Management's staff appraiser has valued the one -acre ±i- lot at $414,000 based on current market data. FISCAL IMPACT: Total cost of land, design, permitting and construction of the new North Naples Recycling Center is estimated at 52,014,000 as follows: Property Acquisition from NCWRF 5 414,000 Design, Pennitting, and Construction costs 51.60Q000 Total cost of Recycling Center $2,014,000 The total amount of funding and budget amendments (BA) needed to move the required funding into the North Naples Recycling Center project 70013 as follows: North Naples Recycling Center (existing budget) $1,040,000 BA to reduce Reserves $ 674,000 BA to reduce Landfill Airspace Recovery Project 59015 S 300.000 Total amount of funding 52,014,000 Agenda Item No. 10A July 27, 2010 Page 3 of 12 The county will avoid disposal cost by not burying materials in the landfill as well as saving that airspace for future disposal needs. Illegal dumping of household hazardous waste will be reduced or avoided providing tangible and intangible benefits to Northern Collier County and our environment. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The construction of a North Naples Recycling Center is in compliance with the county's Growth Management Plan. The Solid Waste sub - elements of the Plan promote measures that will increase recycling in Collier County. This project also provides concurrency with the Solid Waste Management Department's AUIR Level of Service Standard. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office and is legally sufficient. — JBW RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Board of County Commissioners: 1) Authorize staff to design and build the North Naples Recycling Center. 2) Approve the acquisition of the Property from the Collier County Water -Sewer District to the Solid Waste Management Department. 3) Approve the Statutory Deed and authorize the Chairman of the Board to execute the Statutory Deed and any other documents necessary for the conveyance of the Property, once they have been received and approved of by the County Attorney's Office; and direct the County Manager or his designee to proceed to follow all appropriate closing procedures and to record the Statutory Deed in the Public Records of Collier County, Florida. 4) Authorize the necessary budget amendment.

The purpose of this project is to provide increased recycling services to the residents of the North Naples area; help protect our environment; meet the requirements of the county's Growth Management Plan and the Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategy; and, extend the estimated useful life of the Collier County Landfill through increased recycling. Attached is information about the proposed facility for your review. The information meeting will be held on Tuesday, July13, 2010, from 5:30 to 7:00 pm in the North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District Training /Conference Room, located at 1885 Veterans Park Drive. The proposed North Naples Recycling Center will make it easier and more convenient for residents of North Naples to dispose of recyclable materials and typical household hazardous wastes at a state -of- the -art facility. Typical household hazardous wastes include items such as cleaning products, paint thinner, used oils, insecticides and herbicides, and similar items. Recyclable materials include items such as electronics, cardboard, office paper, and plastics. Proper disposal of these items will help extend the life of the landfill, as well as benefit the environment through ensuring proper handling and recycling of these items. The Collier County Solid Waste Management Department staff will be on hand to answer questions related to the proposed project. Residents are welcome to tour the existing Marco Island Recycling Center at any time during operating hours (Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30am - 11:30 am, 12:30pm - 4:30pm). The facility is located at 990 Chalmers Drive on Marco Island.

Currently, the North Naples area residents and businesses do not have a centrally or conveniently located drop off center. The closest recycling drop off center to the North Naples area is located at the Naples Airport, which is approximately 8 miles south of the proposed location of the new facility. This project is being funded through the Solid Waste Capital Fund (474) that receives its revenue from user fees (i.e., landfill tipping fees). As outlined and directed by the Board of County Commissioner's Growth Management Plan and the Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategy, the county must provide for increased recycling through the enhancement of existing facilities and acquisition of additional infrastructure to divert the waste stream and recycle more. This new facility, in addition to meeting the county's goals, will also help Collier County meet Florida's 75% Recycling Goal by the year 2020. The proposed site would be modeled after the Marco Island Recycling Center, a state -of -the -art facility designed to manage and handle more recyclables as well as providing for the safe collection of household hazardous waste. Below are some common questions that may be asked with regard to this facility. Question: What are "household hazardous wastes ?" Common examples of household hazardous waste are: • Cleaning products • Pool chemicals • Paint, paint thinner, & stains • Automotive fluids • Health & beauty products • Propane • Insecticides & herbicides All of us have many of these products stored, or disposed of improperly. Tl Naples Recycling Center: • Fluorescent bulbs & tubes • Fungicides • Waxes • Oils • Poisons • Laundry detergents • Thermometers • Mercury lamps & switches in our houses and garages that may be hazardous if used, following materials will also be accepted at the North • HID lamps • Ballasts • Lead acid & rechargeable batteries • Electronics • Office paper Question: How are these materials handled? • Residential biomedical waste sharps • Antifreeze & waste oil • Gasoline • Cardboard • Used Cooking Oil and Grease When you arrive at the site, you will be met by a certificated recycling specialist or trained county employee who will assist you in making sure your materials are handled properly and put with similar items. Like materials are kept together and stored in a safe manner until they can be shipped off site for processing or proper disposal. No processing of waste materials occurs on site. Question: Will there be noise, odor or dust? The current facility on Marco Island does not generate noise or odor, and this site will be designed in a similar fashion. Most materials that are accepted at the facility are in bottles or containers and do not generate odors. Collected materials are contained and packaged for shipment off -site for recycling or final disposal. The facility will maintain a zero off -sits odor policy and will comply with all Collier County noise ordinances. Since no processing of materials will occur, there will be no dust. The site will be well designed and well landscaped, including a solid fence along three sides to further eliminate noise from vehicles. Question: How will the project be funded? Is now a good time to do this? This project will be funded through the Solid Waste Capital Fund that receives its revenue from landfill tipping fees (user fees). This project is not funded through property tax revenues. By increasing the materials that are recycled and removing items from our waste stream, we can make our landfill last longer. Spending money to increase recycling now will save money in the future and help keep your solid waste collection fees low. Question: What will the hours of operation be, and when will the facility open? The hours of operation will be 8:30 to 4:30, Tuesday through Saturday. Currently the facility is planned for completion in the fall of 2011. Question: Who should I call if 1 have more questions? You are welcome to call either Dan Rodriquez or Mary Jo Thurston at (239) 252 -2508. We can also set up a tour for you or a group at the existing Marco Island facility if you would like to see how the facility will operate. We welcome your questions and interest in the development of this much needed facility. m ¢�Wpf{.r� '6 [ Rh Y ry5 � A V r�h�`h �` Y ♦ � ry I TM 4� it 9 4 t '� ��" `� r a: }� V f11- U 5 I� A.•, � 'p ( 'Ei si o' It Fr I. � peln ryr'f(
