Spring Clean-Up (SCUP) Diversion For Resource Conservation Advisory - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Community Spring Clean-Up (SCUP) Diversion For Resource Conservation Advisory Board 9/27/17

SCUP History • Pre-2005 all material collected was landfilled • 2005 – 2014 Boulder County requested communities to include recycling • Post-2014 Boulder County only pays for diversion efforts • The BOCC allocated funds to each community for diversion at SCUPs

2017 Numbers • $11,684 spent in total* • Materials diverted: • Compost/Yard Waste • Traditional Recycling • Mattresses • Tires • CHaRM Material • Electronics (E-Waste) • Paint and other HHW • Scrap Metal • Wood/Slash and Dimensional Lumber • Reuse with ReSource *Jamestown and Eldorado Springs haven’t happened yet

TAKEAWAYS • Diversion remained flat from 2016 • Need to figure out ways to encourage less trash • Allenspark, because they do not offer a trash roll-off, had a phenomenal diversion rate: • The proximity to the TS helps, so people can pay for trash disposal if they want • They discourage trash • It is very hard to predict which stream will be the biggest from year to year.
