OWNER CONTRACTOR CITY OF ELGIN WASTE MANAGEMENT - WEST By: By: City Manager 410 Attest: Otti tkt-C/U4 Attest / City Clerk MDM0008/TEXT071/ELGINWAY.N2 • . EVn Agenda Item No. August 3, 1994 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Richard B. Helwig, City Manager SUBJECT: Solid Waste Collection Services Tire Disposal PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to outline legislative changes relative to tire disposal and to provide a proposal to accommodate those requirements as part of the City' s Solid Waste Collection Program. BACKGROUND Section 53 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act states that it shall be the policy of the State of Illinois to require the recovery, recycling and reuse of materials from scrap vehicle tires . Therefore, effective July 1st, 1994, waste tires cannot knowingly be mixed with municipal waste. Sanitary landfills cannot accept such tires for dis- posal . The General Assembly was considering legislation whereby the July 1, 1994 deadline was to be extended to March 1, 1995 . It is now apparent this legislation will not be adopted and we must comply with the July 1st date. Both appliances and tires are encompassed in this landfill ban. The contract with Waste Management West (WMW) (Paragraph 00 . Change in Service) authorizes WMW to negotiate a price adjust- ment when changes are made to the method of handling materi- als to be collected. The change imposed by the IEPA consti- tutes a major change in the method of handling tires . Per the letter from WMW dated June 20, 1994, three options have been identified for tire disposal that will comply with Section 53 of the IEPA Act: r MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL August 3, 1994 Page 2 Option A: Exchange old tires for new at the dealer or retail- er. Option B: Return tires to an existing retailer in town. There will be a small charge and they will include the tires with their scrap tires . Option C: Waste Management-West will be collecting scrap tires for subsequent shipment to a tire shredding and recycling company. Shredded tires can then be used in asphalt roadways and various other recy- cling opportunities . Residents will be required to contact Waste Management-West in advance to arrange for a special pickup of their tires . The cost for collection of scrap tires is proposed as follows : $15 . 00 per automobile tire ( $20 . 00 w/rim) $ 5 . 00 for each additional tire (per location) $40 . 00 per oversize truck or tractor tire $10 . 00 for each additional truck tire (per location) Contract Amendment #3 (copy attached) dated March 31, 1993 states in Item 11 . that tire disposal would be reviewed and negotiated pending requirements of new legislation. Attached is a proposed Contract Amendment #4 which summarizes the plan outlined above. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL IMPACT It is estimated there would be 75 tires per month, or a cost of $9, 000 for the balance of this year. Funding would be from the Refuse Services Collection Account No. 010-3331-754 . 33-02 . LEGAL IMPACT None. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL July 18, 1994 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the plan proposed by WMW for the special collection of tires and au- thorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute Contract Amendment #4 .

The new legislation takes effect on July 1 , 1994 . There had been speculation that both acts may be postponed until more markets were available for these products. It now appears we will need to cumply with the July 1st, 1994 , effective date. Specifically, Section 53 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act states that. . . "It shall, be the policy of the State of Illinois to require the . recovery, recycling and reuse of materials from scrap vehicle, tires. Therefore, effective July 1st, 1994, waste tires shall not knowingly be mixed with municipal waste. Sanitary landfills shall not accept such tires for disposal " We have identified the following methods of tire disposal that will comply with Section 53 of the IEPA Act. Option A: Exchange old tires for new at the dealer or retailer Option 8: Return tires to an existing retailer in your town. There will be a small charge and they will include the tires with their scrap tires. Option C: Waste Management-West will be collecting scrap tires for subsequent shipment to a tire shredding and recycling company. Shredded tires are then used in asphalt roadways and various recycling opportunities. r (0)WM1II 07:05 94 20:31 $703 879 9353 SVM-WEST 005 /;;;;:S A Waste Management Compan y rft \CV Residents will be encouraged to contact Waste Management-West in advance to arrange for a special pickup of their tires.
