DATE: /O/( 7,0 a "CITY" CITY OF Elgin,an Illinois municipal corporation Attest: By: A/ __/ / / City Clerk Mayor CONTRACTOR" • Curbside, Inc.(a Safe• Kleen Compaq Bye ,i; DATE: ^^�� 1//fir, i'c4 t 941/46 APPROVED AS TO CONTENT DATE: 5 Exhibit "A" Proposal for a DOOR-TO-DOOR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM For City of Elgin August 22,2000 Prepared by Curbside, Inc. A Safety-Kleen Company This document is the property of Curbside, Inc. It is intended only for the government entity to which it was submitted. No private or non-profit organization may receive, duplicate or copy this document in any manner. Copyright, Curbside, Inc., 2000 CONCEPT To this end, this proposal recommends a comprehensive package designed to: 1. Encourage residents to reduce the amount of HHW they generate 2. Properly dispose of the HHW that they have stored 3. Inform residents that it is illegal to dispose of HHW in the trash, ground etc. 4. Establish a toll free hotline for information and collection scheduling 5. Collect the HHW directly from their homes 6. Generate data for use in completing yearly waste diversion reports 7. Offer small businesses a cost effective opportunity to dispose of their waste 8. Make the disposal of sharps safe and convenient for residents SEGMENT DETAILS The five primary segments of the total program are presented in more detail below: Door-to-Door Collection— City Funded The primary purpose of this segment is to "jump start" the public education effort and to fund the collection of HHW from residents. The primary intent is to eliminate the stockpile of materials that residents tend to create. Preference for this program will be given to seniors and Disabled persons. The number of stops will be budgeted to ensure that the program runs all year. Safety-Kleen Permanent HHW Center Segment Safety-Kleen Corp. will as a result of the City agreeing to contract with Curbside Inc., for the collection of household hazardous waste from homes, open its facility on the first Saturday of each month from 9 AM until 1 PM. Residents of Elgin may drop off any quantity of used oil, antifreeze, automotive batteries, used oil filters, and up to 15 gallons of either latex or oil base paint. All liquid material must be in containers of 5 gallons or smaller. This program is not open to businesses. Residents must make appointments through the hotline. From time to time on an emergency basis, residents with more than recyclable HHW will be allowed to drop the material off at the Safety-Kleen facility by appointment. The cost will be the same as for a door-to-door collection. Used Oil Collection Center Segment Curbside/Safety-Kleen personnel will contact local businesses that repair vehicles and recruit them to become collection centers for do-it-yourselfer motor oil. The centers will accept used motor oil from the public at no cost. Safety-Kleen will collect the used oil and ship it for refining into new lubricants. There will be no cost to the business to recycle the used oil dropped off by the public. There is no cost for this effort. CESQG Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator Element Any business, not-for-profit, or government agency that generates less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste in a month can sign our certification form and pay for collection of their hazardous waste. The standard $400.00 testing fee is waved (federal and state law allow collection as exempt waste). The prices are reasonable, often less than ©Curbside, Inc., July 2000 3 f. Glue g. Poisons h. Aerosols i. Oil base paint There are other materials not listed here, which may be eligible for this price. The intention is to evaluate what the resident has and charge the appropriate price. Toxic items must fit into the "kit" box, used oil, antifreeze, auto batteries and up to 5 gallons of paint may be placed outside of the box. It is our intent to be flexible with respect to the quantity of waste collected. Safety-Kleen will collect more waste from some residents and less from others. For example, a senior may need to have their garage cleaned out. We may accept several hundred pounds of waste. At another home, we may take only 60 pounds. The average of all collections should easily exceed 75 pounds and approach 100+ pounds. .r Recycled Materials The price per stop for the collection of recyclable HHW items is: $70.00 Under this plan, most recyclable materials will be eligible for collection, including: a. Used Oil b. Used Antifreeze c. Used Oil filters d. Latex paint—3 gallons e. Automotive batteries These waste streams account for approximately 65% of the total waste stream. Curbside would collect about 150-200# per home. This is significantly more than the 65# of HHW per participant typically collected at most events and permanent centers. We will from time to time accept oil-based paint as well when residents are home. This pricing will be limited to seniors and disabled persons an others who cannot make the drop off date (information recorded). CESQG Pricing There is no cost to the City. The current CESQG price sheet is attached but it is subject to change. Sharps Element Pricing Each one-gallon container includes postage to and from the resident. The total cost for each I gallon container is $36.00 AGREEMENT WITH CITY An agreement between Curbside and the City would list the following terms and conditions: A. Curbside would provide the following additional services: ©Curbside, Inc., July 2000 5 CURBSIDE, INC.
