Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program
Year Seven,Annual Waste Reduction Program
Fiscal Year 9996-1997
Mission=
The Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program is an intergovernmental t
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.
exp
The Cooperative Recycling Program is committed to providing solid waste
management,including waste reduction program planning,public education,recycling s
A 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
q jurisdictions in achieving recovery goals and providing service. Priorities for the
Cooperative Recycling Program are:
Complying with state law. iu
Providing education and information on solid waste,waste reduction,
recycling,and reuse.
Providing program coordination with other jurisdictions and agencies. s
e �
Ensuring efficient,affordable,and consistent services for the public.
History:
n
The cities and unincorporated county first met in 1989 to develop a joint approach 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
seventh year,fiscal year 1996-1997,the Washington County Cooperative Recycling _
Program has developed the yearly waste reduction work plan to submit to Metro.
1 ;
d
Stakeholders: �
t + The Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program(WCCRP)governments work
to provide the 376,741 residents and approximately 9,862 commercial establishments,
3 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: {$
C k��
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-today 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 l
scope of responsibilityis outlined below in Figure I.Current active committees within y
the program are Finance,Education and Promotion,and Waste Reduction.
Sub-committees are formed in speck program planning areas;for example,
commercial recycling and yard debris recycling collection,on an as-needed basis.
i S
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 7 Plan and the continuation of existing programs fortheir
franchised haulers.

Disposal fees and franchise fees fund the area's::ase reduction programs. Metro
collects aportion of the disposal fees paid by area residents and re

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.

Priority will be given to complying with State requirements and maintaining programs
