Mission:
The Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program is an intergovernmental
organization formed by the Cities of Banks,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, and
developing recyclinq and collection services which are provided in an efficient,
affordable, and environmentally sound manner in order to achieve state alas dated and
regional waste recovery goals. Tho Cooperative Recycling Program's g
educe
duplicate efforts on the part of participating local governments in achieving recovery i
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.
Ensuring efficient,affordable, and consistent services for the public.
History: oint approach to
The Cities and unincorporated County first met in 1989 to develop a j
yard debris recycling. In 1990 the Cities and County again met and
prow ding services
a coalition
of governments interested in developing a coordinated approach
and programs, thereby conserving both fiscal and environmental resources. This
coalition was named the Washington County Cooperative Recycling Program
I (WCCRP). A Technical Committee was formed to guide the activities of the coalition.
For the fiscal year 1999—2000, the WCCRP Technical Committee has developed the
Year 10 Waste Reduction Program work plan to submit to Metro.
{ Stakeholders:
The WCCRP local governments work to provide the 341,756 residents and
1999)commercial establishments alternatives to disposal,
approximately 9,280(August
i I ,and recycling opportunities. Voter approval of
such as waste reduction, reuse options
3 state=wlde 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 21 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. Sub-
committees are formed in specific program planning areas; for example, commercial
recycling and waste reduction program planning, on an as-needed basis. 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, tl:reir legal boundaries. The full scope of
responsibility is outlined in Figure 1.

Each of the jurisdictions participating in the WCCRP assign their funding through an
intergovernmental agreement to Washington County to administer the WCCRP work
plan. In addition to the County's Waste Reduction Program Grant money,the County
APIL contributes franchise fee generated funds, which matches the amount of Metro funds,
for use in administering the Cooperative Recyc'ing Program. Table 1 reflects the 1999
-2000 level of funding for the program.
Priority will be given to complying with state requirements and maintaining programs
established in the first nine years of the waste reduction program. The WCCRP
governments should assess the impact of reduced funding or programs and determine
whether new funding sources should be secured.

arket DvU0Pj]]@'C
Local Government Priority Tasks:
a) Waste prevention, diversion and procurement evaluations will be conducted with a
goal of reaching 80%of targeted businesses by 2000.
TARGET: 100%of goal by July 2000.
The Cooperative has determined that 80% of the "targeted businesses" included in the
commercial data base, provided by Metro, equals approximately 3,170 businesses. The
Cooperative reached 50%of its objective by May 15, 1999,with 1,579 waste evaluations
and audits completed. This includes evaluations and audits performed over the last
several years by Cooperative staff and franchised haulers.
The Cooperative has found the Business Waste Evaluation Program necessary for
achieving the 80% goal. Because the waste evaluation process is time consuming, the
Cooperative determined that additional staff was necessary if it was to meet its goal. The
Cooperative addressed the staffing issue by applying for an AmeriCorp volunteer. The
ABL Cooperative's application was accepted and the volunteer will begin in August 1999.
An appropriate period of time will be needed for training the AmeriCorp volunteer to
provide business waste evaluations. Once trained, the Cooperative would like the
volunteer to complete 40 waste evaluations per month.This is the same target set for the
evaluator position,which is funded through the Commercial Waste Reduction Assistance
Grant.
At 40 evaluations each per month, the evaluator and AmeriCorps volunteer could
complete approximately 840 waste evaluations in Year 10. The franchised haulers have
averaged about 300 audits per year, which could bring the total number of waste
evaluations and audits completed during Year 10 to approximately 1,140.
Achieving the 80% goal by July 2000 will be difficult, even with the addition of the
„ AmeriCorp volunteer. Additional staff and/or changes in the level of service provided
+ during an on-site evaluation will be necessary if the Cooperative is to achieve this goal.
b) Assist with regional media campaign design and development. Apply messages
alocally.
AMh, The Cooperative will participate in the planning of this campaign. Local use of the
messages can be determined during this planning process.

Local Government Priority Tasks:
a) Collection of paper(newspaper, corrugated cardboard, high-grade office paper, and
scrap paper)and containers (glass,steel,aluminum,PET&HDPE)from businesses.
For businesses that do not dispose of significant quantities of paper and containers,
the most prevalently disposed recyclable materials (e.g. scrap metals, wood, yard
debris,or plastic film)will be collected.
TARGET: 100%of businesses by January 2000,
The Cooperative Prograt:i has established commercial service standards. These standards
outline recycling services available to businesses within unincorporated Washington
County and all cities in the Washington County Cooperative. Franchised haulers
operating within the Cooperative jurisdiction are mandated by the franchise holders to
use the standards. Each jurisdiction is responsible for enforcement within its boundaries.
For example,in unincorporated Washington County,either the solid waste represeniative
or code enforcement officer or both are responsible for enforcement. The Cooperative
requires the haulers to provide regular reports,which include information about recycling
—number of audits,commercial customers recycling,and tonnage of materials recycled.
The Cooperative promotes commercial recycling through the waste evaluation program,
The WasteLine, an annual letter from the haulers to businesses within their franchised
areas,and the BRAG program and newsletter.
A recent survey conducted by Portland State University's Community Environmental
Services for the Cooperative found that approximately 98%of businesses are recycling at
least one item and at least 801/6 of businesses that generate cardboard, aluminum cans,
motor oil, scrap metal, pallets and grease are recycling these items. During 1998,
conxmercial recycling resulted in 17,114.5 tons of fiber and 1,561.5 tons of containers
collected, for a total of 18,676 tons of materials recycled by businesses in the
Cooperative.
The Cooperative is reviewing the existing plan with a goal to revise to increase
commercial recycling.
r
! The Cooperative contracted a study through Portland State Univ rsit3e s Community
Environmental Services and learned that 50.4%(plus or minus 4%)of businesses in the
Cooperative recycle at least five items.
b) Appropriate recycling containers provided to small businesses.
i TARGET: 100%by January 200
The Cooperative's commercial service standards provide for containers to be supplied by
the haulers to businesses upon request. There may be a reasonable charge for the
containers,as provided by the applicable jurisdiction.

practice.
• If the proposed alternative is a major departure from the recommended practice,the local government Is
encouraged to submit its proposal to the REM Director as early in the annual plan development cycle as
possible.
• To demonstrate the same level of performance,the proposal for an alternative practice should address,as
appropriate,the following criteria:
Estimated participation levels
that will be prevented,recycled,recovereflnrioitdPosed
Estimated amount of waste
