MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: Ellis Shapiro, City Manager
DATE: January 25, 1994
RE: RECYCLING COMMERCIAL AND MULTI-FAMILY
In December, the City Commission passed Ordinance #93-21 which made the recycling of
solid waste mandatory for businesses and multi-family accounts in Ocoee.
Commissioner Johnson has stated that he was under the impression that this recycling was
mandatory from the State or County and that's why he agreed to this amendment to the
Code. He has asked that this item be placed on the agenda for discussion.
Attached is the initial report from Staff dated November 17, 1993 as well as Mr. Brenner's
report on this issue currently.
If the majority of you feel that you wish to delete this requirement, advise and an
amendment shall be on your next City Commission Agenda.
Respectfully Submitted,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Ellis Shapiro , City Manager
FROM: Ray Brenner, Public Works Director
DATE: January 17 , 1994
RE: Ordinance #93-21 , Amendment to Chapter 143 , Solid Waste
Ordinances of the City of Ocoee
On November 17 , 1993 , Montye prepared a staff report that was
amended on December 1 , 1993 . Please refer to item 4 , page 2 of her
report . It appears it could be construed that the city would
require commercial accounts to recycle per State Stature . The State
law does permit local government to enact ordinances to enforce
commercial accounts to source separate at the premises.
In 1988 the Florida Legislature enacted a comprehensive amendment
to the State' s existing Solid Waste Goals Policies. Known as "The
Florida Solid Waste Management Act ( SWMA) , the act required
counties to develop solid waste management programs that, by the
end of 1994 , would reduce by at least 30% the amount of their solid
waste requiring landfilling or incineration. No more than 50% of
this goal may be met with reductions in yard trash, white goods,
construction and demolition debris, and tires .
Over the past four years residential curbside recycling programs
were implemented by all cities county wide . It had been determined
that the 30% reduction goal could not be met unless the recycling
program included both residential multi-family units and commercial
enterprises. A study was conducted by H. D. R. Engineering
confirming the county' s data in February, 1993 .
Currently the City has no means by which to track the amount of
commercial/multi-family solid waste being recycled. It appears
these accounts are generating approximately 1 , 150 tons monthly, or
13 , 800 tons annually. This represents approximately 60% of the
solid waste tonnage delivered to Orange County' s solid waste system
by our franchisee , that is generated in the city.
Without a strong recycling program for multi-family units and
businesses , the county will be unable to reach the states 30%
reduction goals by the end of 1994 .

Ellis Shapiro, City Manager
January 17 , 1994
Several months ago a representative from Jennings Environmental
Company addressed the commission and strongly supported recycling
in the commercial market, stating that two things would occur, 1 )
the amount of solid waste generated would be diverted from the
landfill , and 2 ) would not cost any more to the generator, due to
the reduction or frequency of collections of solid waste. A
smaller container may be substituted or frequency of collections
reduced.
A meeting was held with IWS to discuss recycling and they agreed
that the worst case scenario would be that the current rates would
be increased slightly to small generators of recycled materials.
However, there could be several who may enjoy a reduction.
Obviously, the higher the participation, the higher the savings.
Montye , Attorney Mauer, and I agreed this would be in the best
interest of the city, based on the information available.
IWS previously contacted a majority of the businesses who had the
potential of generating a substantial amount of recyclables and met
with resistance . This resistance is shared in all cities of the
county and elsewhere. Since the adoption of Ordinance #93-21 , IWS
has contacted approximately 60 businesses , of which 50 have signed
service agreements. As a result, 60% of those who signed will have
a reduction in their monthly solid waste bill ; 25% will experience
no change in rates; and the remaining 15% will experience an
increase of approximately $10 . 00 per month. This cost is for hand
collecting curbside recycling . The commercial community is
encouraged to seek out other recycling companies to compare rates
and services.
Attached for your review is a list of businesses that contacted my
office. Also attached is a letter from Stan Keely, Orange County,
with an overview of what the County intends to do .

RE: Commercial Garbage accounts
I have been contacted by numerous commercial accounts within the
city. Their comments and questions have been favorable . Some of
the smaller accounts have wanted to recycle for several years and
were frustrated that no formal recycling program was available to
them. About a year ago an effort was made by IWS to sign up some
of the larger businesses with a recycling program, however this was
met with a negative response and no formal recycling program was
made available to ALL businesses in the city.
Among those who contacted me after receiving the letter were :
Tee Pee Lumber
FMX Transport
Kenneth A. Smith
Sun Bank
First Steps Academy

In addition to telephone contact , we have received letters from
approximately a dozen businesses . All replies have been favorable.
The least favorable reply came from FPIS, who asked that we provide
them with the name of someone to recycle their stock coated with
high ink content.

MEMORANDUM ELLIS SHAPIRO
DATE: November 17, 1993
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: Montye E. Beamer, Director
Administrative Services
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 93-21
Amendments to Chapter 143, Solid Waste
Code of Ordinances of the City of Ocoee
The attached Ordinance No. 93-21 amer:ds the current Chapter 143 of the Code of Ordinances
of the City of Ocoee by incorporating the provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes. The
changes include: (1) utilizing the State definitions for all terms and words; (2) specifying
residential yard trash collection as four (4) lawn bags consistent with the current allowance; (3)
requiring commercial source separation at the premises (recycling for commercial
establishments) by February 1, 1994; (4) providing a date certain - October 1, 1995 - by which
construction and demolition debris from residential building, roofing or remodeling shall be
collected by the City's franchisee; (5) recycling for multi-family residential with greater than
four units; (6) establishing procedures for registering recovered material dealers.
Of these changes, there are several areas which require further discussion. They are as follows:
(1) The state definition of solid waste now encompasses all waste except recovered materials
and recyclables. Construction and demolition debris , along with yard trash, are special
waste and thereby termed solid waste.
(2) When the commercial franchise is awarded effective October 1, 1995, the agreement will
contain language for the hauling of construction and demolition debris from residential
building, roofing or remodeling. This is a departure from the current practice; all
independent haulers of whom the City has knowledge and who now collect from these
locations will be sent a copy of this Ordinance and Staff Report.
(3) Multi-family residential dwelling with greater than four (4) units will be asked to
participate in the recycling program. These recyclables will be collected by the
.
.
franchisee and will possibly be handled according to the dictates of the City's Interlocal
Agreement with Orange County as it relates to participation in the recycling program.
(4) Commercial recycling will be required effective February1, 1994. Pursuant
to Section
403.7046, Florida Statutes, the City will recognize the certification of recovered material
dealers. This will expand the number of possible haulers which would include but not
be limited to the City's franchisee for collection recyclables or recovered materials; these
collections will not be restrained by the City's Interlocal Agreement with Orange County.
The recovered material dealers, however, must be certified by the State and must register
with the city for an application fee before doing business within the City limits.
The City Attorney drafted Ordinance 93-21 . The Public Works Director and the Administrative
Services Director have reviewed as to the procedures necessary for implementation.
Action Requested
The Mayor and Board of City Commissioners (1) adopt Ordinance 93-21 and (2) authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute.

RE: Commercial Recycling Recommendation
t
Since staff and consultants had originally presented the draft `
report on commercial recycling in early October, there has been
numerous meetings with various interested parties regarding how to
proceed and implement a more comprehensive commercial recycling
program. These meetings have been very helpful and has allowed us
to focus on developing a program that can fit most everyones
• current system and programs. I have attached an updated executive fi
summary of the report which provides some detail on the overall
recommendation.
In general the program for unincorporated Orange County commercial
waste will be as follows:
1. All commercial waste generators of bottles, cans, newspapers and
corrugated paper will be required to recycle.
2 . The County will construct or have constructed by a private
vendor on behalf of the County, a blue bag separation system and K
manual separation of certain recyclables from solid waste (partial 1
MRF operation) . These facilities will be located the County's
McLeod Road transfer station and, the new Northwest transfer
station as well as the Landfill. i
1
3 . All commercial waste going into the facilities will be
surcharged above the current tipping fee unless the hauler can I'
demonstrate that the generators on the haulers collection route
have their own recycling program. It is estimated the surcharge
fee would be approximately $5/ton. We anticipate certain
generators will run their own program either internally, through
the hauler or with a private recycler. We anticipate some haulers
will need to reroute their collection to assure they separate I
generators with a recycling program from those that will utilize
the blue bag system/MRF. Fg

4 . All County licensed haulers will be required to vary charges to I
generators based upon the size of dumpster and the number of pulls.
Hauler licensing will be split into multi-family, C & D, recyclers
and other commercial categories.
t
5. The surcharge will help fund a commercial recycling education
program that will be available to all Orange County local
governments and the haulers.
6. Establishment of an advisory board made up of commercial
haulers, recyclers, affected associations, and local government
officials, which will monitor progress of the overall commercial
recycling program. This board will work with LGSWAB on the
commercial recycling program.
7. It is expected that first phase of the blue bag/MRF system will
t
be on-line within 12 months of Board of County Commissioner I
approval.
• 8. Within two years, a decision will be made on implementing a
second phase system which could include more recyclable items or a
change to the overall system concept.
The program for municipalities will be as follows:
1. Each city will be considered like a hauler in that their
commercial collection and recycling system will need to demonstrate
to the County as to whether they have their own commercial
recycling program or not. If a particular city route has
generators that have their own recycling program or city recycling
system then that route or vehicle would not be subject to the
surcharge. Conversely, if a city collection system or part of its
system elects to use blue bags/MRF then they would be assessed the
surcharge.
2 . This new commercial recycling program will be incorporated into
the Interlocal Agreements. It is expected that at that time the
affected cities can notify the County whether they will utilize the 1
County's system or partially use the system for certain areas.
3 . The educational material for commercial recycling will be
available from the County for use by the cities. Most material
will be fairly generic and available for customization towards an
individual city.

Re: Commercial Recycling

Concerning private recycling companies, the program has the
following impacts:
1. In unincorporated Orange County the recyclers can still offer
their services to generators of recyclables as long as the
recyclables are sorted from solid waste prior to transport.
2 . Individual cities can determine how best they want to allow
recyclers to operate.
3 . Recyclers will be required to provide information on commercial
recycling quantities collected outside the County program.
It appears that there may be new members on the LGSWAB Board due to
job changes of some of city officials currently on the LGSWAB.
These changes may necessitate new City members appointed to LGSWAB.
Since it does take some time for the County advisory board system
to name and have the Board approve an appointment, I am not certain
as to when the next LGSWAB will meet with a quorum. The next
meeting will address this commercial recycling proposal and
therefore it is important that all representatives be present. In
order to keep the program somewhat on track County staff will
proceed with developing a number of the needed ordinance and
contract changes along with RFP drafts so as to be ready to
institute the program as soon as the Board of County Commissioners
and LGSWAB approve of the concept.
If you have any questions or would like to meet with me on this
proposal, please don't hesitate to call. We are still interested
in fine tuning this system to everyone's satisfaction.
