Attachment A
Washington County—Cooperative Recyc!eng Program
Year Six,Annual Waste Reduction Program
Fiscal Year 9995-1996
itlission:
The Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program is an intergovernmental
organization formed by the cities of Banks, Beaverton, Cornelius, Durham, Forest
Grove,Hillsboro, King City, North Plains,Sherwood,Tigard,Tualatin,Wilsonville, and
unincorporated Washington County.
The Cooperative Recycling Program is committed to providing solid waste
management, including waste reduction program planning, public education, recycling
and collection services in an efficient,affordable and environmentally sound manner in
order to achieve state mandated and regional waste recovery goals. The Cooperative
Recycling Program's goal is to reduce duplicate efforts on the part of participating
jurisdictions in achieving recovery goals and providing service. Priorities for the
Cooperative Recycling Program are:
Complying with state law.
Providing education and information on solid waste,waste reduction,
recycling,and reuse.
Providing program coordination with other jurisdictions and agencies.
Ensuring efficient,affordable, and consistent services for the public.
History:
The cities and unincorporated county first met in 1989 to develop a joint apprcach to
yard debris recycling. In 1990 the cities and county again met and formed a coalition of
governments interested in developing a coordinated approach to providing services and
programs,thereby conserving both fiscal and environmental resources. For the sixth
year,fiscal year 1995-1996, the Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program
has developed the yearly waste reduction work plan to submit to Metro.

Stakeholders:
The Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program(WCCRP)governments work
to provide the 866,456 residents and approximately 9,862 commercial establishments,
alternatives to disposal,such as waste reduction, reuse options,and recycling
opportunities. Voter approval of a state-wide ballot measure which limits tax dollars for
a variety of programs, reflects the desire of the public to receive cost effective services.
Solid waste collection and recycling services are provided by 26 franchised haulers and
a number of recycling firms and processors.
Program Structure:
The Cooperative Recycling Program is guided by the Technical Committee,whose
members are representatives from each city and the unincorporated County.
Washington County staff administer the program on a day-to-day basis and monitor
overall compliance with state law and regional goals. Each local jurisdiction is
responsible for rate-setting and enforcement within their legal boundaries. The full
scope of responsibility is outlined below in Figure 1. Current active committees within
the program are Finance,Education and Promotion,, and Waste Reduction.
Sub-committees are formed in specific program planning areas;for example,
commercial recycling and yard debris recycling collection,on an as-needed basis.
Since local governments retain authority over the rate-setting process, it is each
government's responsibility to assess the fiscal impacts of the new waste reduction
programs included in the Year 6 Plan and the continuation of existing programs for their
franchised haulers.

Funding:'
Disposal fees and franchise fees fund the area's waste reduction programs. Metro
collects a portion of the disposal fees paid by area residents and re-distributes a small
percentage of the money,in Challenge Grants,to the local governments in order to
conduct waste reduction activities. Challenge Grants are awarded on a per capita
basis to each city and county(see Table 1).
Each of the jurisdictions participating in the Cooperative Recycling Program assign their
funding,through an intergovernmental agreement,to Washington County to administer
the Cooperative Recycling Program. in addition to the County's Challenge Grant
money,the County contributes franchise fee generated funds,which matches the
amount of Metro funds,for use in administering the Cooperative Recycling Program.
Table 1 reflects the 1995-1996 level of funding for the program.

Priority will be given to complying with State requirements and maintaining programs
established in the first four years of the waste reduction program. The WCCRP
governments should assess the impact of reduced funding on programs and determine
whether new funding sources should be secured.
