Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program
Year Eight,Annual Waste Reduction Program
1 Fiscal Year 1997-1998
a
Mission:
The Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program is an intergovernmental s
organization formed by the Cities of Banks,Cornelius,Durham,Forest Grove, i k fi
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,
developing recycling and collection services which are provided in an efficient,
affordable and environmentally sound manner in order to achieve state mandated and
regional waste recovery goals. The Cooperative Recycling Program's oat is to reduce
9 ry9 P Y 9 9 9
duplicate efforts on the part of participating Local Governments in achieving recovery
goals and providing service. Priorities for the Cooperative Recycling Program are:
Complying with state law and achieving regional goals.
Providing education and information on solid waste,waste reduction,
recycling,and reuse.
Providing program coordination with other jurisdictions and agencies. ht ;
Ensuring efficient,affordable,and consistent services for the public.
History:
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._This
coalition was named the Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program
(WCCRP).)A Technical Committee was formed to guide the activities of the coalition.
For the fiscal year 1997-1998;the WCCRP Technical Committee has developed the
Year 8 Waste Reduction Program work plan to submit to Metro.
Stakeholders:
z The WCCRP Local Governments work to provide the 324,936 residents and
approximately 6,124 commercial establishments,alternatives to disposal,such as
waste reduction,reuse options,and recycling opportunities- Voter approval of
state-wide ballot measures 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 24 franchised haulers and a number of recycling
firms and processors. '
Program Structure:
The Cooperative Recycling Program is guided by the Technical Committee,whose
:.1 members are representatives frorn each City and the unincorporated County. +�
Sub-committees are formed in specific program planning areas;for example,
commercial recycling and waste reduction program planning,on an as-needed basis. ; r
Washington County staff administer the program on a day-to-day basis and monitor
overall compliance with state law and regional goals. Each Local Government is
responsible for rate-setting and enforcement within their legal boundaries. The full $ '
scope of responsibility is outlined in Figure 1. '+r

franchised haulers.
Funding:
` Disposal fees and franchise fees fund the areas 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 Annual Waste Reduction Program Grants,to Local
Governments to order to conduct waste reduction activities. These Waste Reduction

Each of the jurisdictions participating in the WCCRP assign their funding,through an s
intergovernmental agreement,to Washington County to administer the WCCRP work
plan. in addition to the County's Waste Reduction Program Grant money,the County
contributes franchise fee generated funds,which matches the amount of Metro funds, 9 urn'
for use in administering the Cooperative Recycling Program.Table 1 reflects the
1997-1998 level of funding for the program
Priority will be given to complying with State requirements and maintaining programsit
established in the first seven years of the waste reduction program. The WCCRP

The Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program
WASTE EVALUATION SERVICE PROVISION PLAN '
NOTE This Waste Evaluation Service Provision Pian was originally pled with Metro in the
n
Cooperative's Year6 Report Thts revised version expands upon the onginal Service Provision Plan.
R!s being Ned with the Cooperative's Year 8 Wedrplan and replaces the previous Waste Evaluation
Service Provision Plan. k
!. Goals and Objectives.
The objectives of the Cooperative's Waste Evaluation Service Provision Plan g
match the objectives of the RSWMP for waste evaluations. The Cooperative #
views Waste Evaluations as a means(awarenesslinformational too])to an end
(increased efforts by businesses to reduce,recycle,buy recycled). While t xi
businesses voluntarily choose to utilize these services,the Cooperative remains $ -.
committed to actively promote both the value of waste prevention,recycling,and v w
buying recycled,and,the availability of technical assistance. ,
The consistent intentions of both the RSWMP and the Cooperative's Waste
Evaluation Service Provision Plan are:
• to increase businesses'awareness of its waste stream,the o
pportunities to a
recycle and reduce waste and available technical services;
to educate about waste prevention practices,reuse ideas,recycling 3 a
opportunities,and buying and using recycled content products and materials; J."
and,
to assist businesses in their efforts in waste prevent,recycling and
management through technical assistance;and,
to reach higher levels of waste diversion.
2. Minimum Elements. off'-
Waste evaluations int .c the following elements:
examination of'.,a business'waste stream through either: an onsite walk
through,aself-audit form,a BRAG application which requires an inventory of
materials,activities and purchasing,or using profiles from similar business c
-'
types.
• teaching waste prevention through either: giving instructions and examples
(on substitute processes or proper preparation)during walk throughs or
phone conversations or presentations,articles and tip sheets.
encouraging buy-recycled procurement through distributing Metro's Buy a
Recycled Guides,giving suggestions for alternative materials/products and
sample purchasing language,
• providing service information by giving verbal information,or a reference
sheet listing other resources,referrals,providing additional materials or
information when available.

3. Methods.
Waste Evaluations within the Cooperative's program can take several forms.
This variety is used to satisfy the needs of a wide range of businesses(from size
y� and type to maturity)and their openness to government assistance.The
Cooperative's activities and approach may vary from other jurisdictions'Waste
Evaluation programs;the approach is consistent throughout the jurisdictions of
the Cooperative.
as
The Cooperative's activities,by both the government and hauler members, v s
include:
• On-site waste evaluations:the County staff and the franchised haulers supply
onsite waste evaluations*,upon request;
BRAG applications,which cover all portions of the waste evaluation,are
reviewed with the business,either in an onsite visit or by phone conversation;
•
Waste Evaluation presentations to business groups,such as chambers or
industry
associations.Presentations include information about waste
prevention, Y ng,
procurement,a Question&Answer period,and
handouts(e.g.,the Cooperative's Commercial packet,other relevant
s materials);
• A Commercial Recycling tit is utilized by the Cooperative and haulers.The Kit
ensures uniform information and standard assistance reaches businesses. This
t Kit is distributed during onsite visits or mailed,in response to businesses'
interests. These Kts are sometimes customized for businesses,that is,different x �
materials may be added if it is a manufacturing company vs.an office. Materials
included in the'standard packet'focus on recycling program
implementation,waste prevention ideas buy recycled guides,BRAG .
application,a resource sheet,and,a self-audit form. Additional materials ( 4y
may be included, if requested or discussed with the business;
• Wastel-ine editions contain,at least once a year,a"do-it-yourself audit form for fi
businesses to fill out. The WasteLine's business section offers information on
recycling services,evaluations and other available technical assistance. Thee
Wastel-ine reaches all commercial generators;and,
• Telephone assistance(upon request,i.e.,the call is initiated by the $ r f t
business).. information is given on specific or various solid waste topics, i 3M
such as'which materials are recyclable','who provides the service for
recycling,'help in refining the business'internal recyclinglprevention
program,etc.

n k d. Targeted Businesses.
4 The Cooperative's target is to provide evaluation services to 100%of
businesses requesting them. The Cooperative is also aiming to support
business'efforts to recycle,reduce waste and buy recycled,as much as
possible,by being responsive to requests for assistance,information,and
services. sr g
S
.The Cooperative will focus its efforts on the various targeted businesses as follows:
1. Businesses of 1-9 employees will be notified of the availability of onsite waste
evaluations and technical assistance and receive such assistance,upon request.
Businesses having more than 9 employees(from 10+employees)will receive
more intense efforts to be notified of the availability of onsite waste evaluations
and technical assistance. These businesses will receive such assistance,upon
request. 4
2::Businesses,by type,which will be targeted for waste evaluations will be: Office-
Related,Education,Wholesale/Warehouse,Dry Goods Retail,Medical and
Dental,and,HoteVinstitutional/Other Services.
a
5. Measurement.
Due to the nature of businesses'life spans,these goals will be ever-moving
completion goals. Therefore,progress should be noted with additional
indicators,such as decreased(commercial)per capita generation and disposal,
and,increased participation in commercial recycling programs etc. g
Progress will be monitored by tracking: t
the number of on-site audits which are performed(by County or hauler staff), 1
the number of businesses attending waste evaluation presentations,
the number of Commercial Kits mailed/given out,
the number of businesses receiving WasteLines,and ru
o the number of businesses filing BRAG applications. r
