Total BudgetSalaryDistrict tax
Upcoming capital costs
•Aging fleet due for replacement•Seven (7) packer and recycling trucks due for replacement due to age•Total costs if current methods are maintained are•$1,520,000.00 total price tag of replacing current fleet•**Note to be fair this price is not all at once
Proposals to improve performance
1. Increase recycling revenue through marketing of material
2. Decrease costs of utility through automation of collection
Marketing of material•Current return 2011 from Morris MUA
•Gross return $38,224.81
•Net return approximately $20,000.00 (MUA Charges for dumpster pulls)
•Solution
•Market material
•Estimated gross and net return
•Dumpster pickup (no charge for pull costs) = $86,544.48
•Delivered by Mount Olive = $136,855.20

What is scenario 4Market recyclable materials
Use profits from marketing to purchase roll-off truck Purchase roll off truck in fall of 2012
Utilize 2013 recycle profits to assist fund the down payment of three automated refuse packers
Initiate curbside auto refuse program in fall of 2013 Purchase containers for residents – summer 2013
Initiate public education campaign early summer of 2013
2013 transfer four(4) packer trucks to recycling/ bulk operations, sell up to four (4) large recycling trucks to
help offset costs

Advantages/ disadvantages auto refuse collection
Advantages DisadvantagesWheeled containers easy
for residents to take to curb
Capacity of auto loading cans 3 to 4 times that of regular cans
Reduced workers compensation costs
Capacity of auto refuse truck 700-1200 stops per route
Startup costs (may be mitigated as current fleet needs replacement)
Costs of containersPublic educational
componentSpecial smaller cans for
over 55 y.o.a and special handicaps at request
What is automated collection?
•Single operator pickup and dumps carts using articulated arm•Highly productive•Increases efficiency•Increase workers safety•Decreased labor costs
Collection related injury – other towns/ cities
• Little Egg Harbor NJ•200 days to 0
•Santa Cruz, Ca•300 to 0
•South San Francisco•700 days to 0
•Portsmouth, VA•$112,000 to $25,000/ year
•Seymour, In•$52,000 to $0
•Woodbridge, NJ•$800,000.00 to $150,000.00
Conversion to automationFrom this To this
Common concernsUgly large cans
difficult to maneuver, particularly elderly and disabled
Actual practice has not borne this out in benchmarked communities, regardless best practice will be to offer smaller cans for the over 55 and disabled communities
Not enough room for households refuse in single cart
96Gallon cans have proven to be more than adequate in all towns studied.
Displacement of workers
Current status is opportune time due to period of retirements anticipated without affecting negatively any workers
Enforcement of non compliance1st month learning
curve and reminders using “oops” tags
“oops” tag to residents whose carts are misplaced along with informative flyer
After 1st month garbage cans not in compliance or not placed in appropriate cans will not be picked up
Next steps how to implement
• April 1, 2012•Implement recycle marketing with new contract – Trinity
Fall 2012•Purchase roll off truck•Goal is to maximize return on recyclables
Winter 2013
•Budget for 3 auto refuse trucks
•Budget for cans for distribution
Winter 2013
•Amend ordinance
Summer 2013•Initiate public education campaign
