2.0 BACKGROUND
2. 1 At a meeting held on March 27, 1995, Council passed the
following Resolution #C-227-95:
"THAT the correspondence dated March 8, 1995,
from Harvey Ambrose, President, Ontario
Disposal, advising that Ontario Disposal is
proposing to provide collection of recycling
material from igloos for a period of three
years at no cost to the municipality, be
received;
THAT the correspondence be referred to the
Director of Public Works for review and
preparation of a report to the General Purpose
and Administration Committee and referred to
the Regional Municipality of Durham FORTHWITH;
and
THAT Harvey Ambrose be advised of Council's
decision. "
2.2 The Region of Durham instituted an Adopt an Igloo Program in
1991 as a recycling alternative for rural residents who did
not receive Blue Box collection service. The Municipality
sponsors igloos at the following locations:
Enniskillen Fire Hall,
Bowmanville Community Services Depot,
Newtonville,
Kendal,
Trulls and Pebblestone Roads,
Public Works Operations Centre at Orono, and
Public Works Operations Centre at Hampton;
11002
REPORT NO. : WD-26-95 PAGE 3
St. Marys Cement, Ridge Pine Development and Laidlaw sponsored
igloos at the Garnet B. Rickard Complex.
The Region's Adopt An Igloo Program required a one time fee to
cover the costs for the maintenance and servicing of the
containers. The Municipality pays for the tipping fees for
materials collected at the sites.
2.3 Due to the new Provincial 3Rs Regulations, the Region of
Durham reached an agreement on January 1, 1995, to expand the
curbside Blue Box collection to rural residents who did not
receive municipal Blue Box collection.
2 .4 Miller Waste Systems commenced on April 18, 1995, collecting
rural curbside Blue Boxes on a bi-weekly basis. Therefore,
the Region of Durham is planning to phase out the igloos.
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3. 1 The Provincial 3Rs Regulations establish requirements in the
municipal and institutional/commercial/industrial (I.C. & I. )
sectors for the recycling of waste.
3.2 According to the 3Rs Regulations, 101-94, the Municipality
must provide residents access to recycling services equivalent
to garbage disposal services and at at least half the
frequency of garbage pick-up.
3.3 Municipal refuse collection only provides collection to
apartment buildings with five (5) or less dwelling units per
building. Any apartment buildings with six (6) or more
dwelling units do not currently receive municipal refuse
collection. There is no obligation for the municipality to
provide recycling collection to these residential buildings.
1003
REPORT NO. : WD-26-95 PAGE 4
Under the 3Rs Regulations property owners for these buildings
are required to provide recycling programs for their
residents.
3.4 Over the years the Municipality and the Region of Durham have
received a number of complaints regarding the conditions at
the igloo sites. The majority of the complaints were caused
by people leaving refuse instead of the specified recycling
materials.
3.5 The Region of Durham does not plan to utilize these igloos in
the near future, therefore, it is recommended that the
municipal sponsored igloos be stored at the Hampton Public
Works Operations Centre for possible future use.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4. 1 Since the implementation of the 3Rs Regulations, all
residential properties are now receiving blue box collection.
It is the opinion of the Public Works Department that the
igloos are a duplication of service, and should be removed
from the locations specified.

Dear Mayor Hamre:
RE: Phasing Out of Igloo Recycling Depots
Your municipality contains nine igloo recycling depots located in rural and other public areas.
The Region of Durham is proposing to remove these depots in conjunction with expansion of
Blue Box collection to rural areas, scheduled for May, 1995_
Ontario Disposal is proposing to provide collection of materials dropped off at these depots for
the period of three years at no cost to your municipality. Ontario Disposal has equipment able to
service these depots and has commitments from material markets for the three year term.
By entering into a no charge service agreement with Ontario Disposal, the Municipality of
Clarington will ensure that your depots remain in service and that your residents continue to have
the option to recycle using these depots at their convenience.
For further information or to arrange for continued service of your igloo recycling depots, please
contact me.
Sincerely,
ONTARIO DISPOSAL

REPORT-
1.0 INTRODUCTION
• The Annual Review of the Solid Waste Management System is
being completed earlier this year in order to analyze the
full impact of the requirements of the Ministry of
Environment and Energy (MOEE) 3R regulation on the Region's
Waste- System Rate and the Region's Waste Reserve.
• The 3R regulation requires the local municipalities to have
curbside blue box collection in rural areas and in multi-unit-
dwellings where there is municipal garbage collection with an
implementation date of January 1, 1995.
• All of the area municipalities have requested that the
increased costs of the expanded system be funded from the -
Region's portion of the local tax bill rather than from the.
local .portion (Copies of correspondence are attached. )
• Because of the large costs involved and the potential impact
on the Region's Uniform Solid Waste Management System Rate,
an analysis of these costs and the preliminary 1995 Pro Forma
Budget estimates are presented in order to determine the full
impact on,the Waste System rate and the Waste reserve.
• The 1995. Waste Management Current and Capital Budgets will .
continue to follow the approved budget timetable.
2.0 HIGfH.IQiTS OF THE 1995 PRO FORMA BUDGET ESTIMATES AND FIMNNCING
• The 1995 Waste System Rate Remains at the 1994/1993 Rate
of $70/Tonne
• A contribution of $2.1 million from the Waste Reserve is
required to maintain the $70/tonne Rate
• The Average Region-wide Annual Cost/Household Rema;us at
$49 - less than $1 per household per week
• The Budgetted Regional Waste Billings to Area
Municipalities Remain at approximately 1994 levels - No
Major Increases are Erected
• Net Expenditures decrease by $1.8 million primarily due
to reduced costs for processing recyclable material and
increased revenues.

REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM -
REPORT#94-J-16-SUMMARY REPORT ON THE ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE SOLID,WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 5
AND THE APPLICABLE 1995 CURRENT AND CAPITAL BUDGETS AND RELATED FINANCING
2.1 1995. Waste System Rate
Remains at 1993 Rate of S70/Tonne
• The Region has been able to,maintain the Waste System Rate at
$70/tonne since 1993.
•. 'Keeping the rate at $70/tonne-in 1995 results in an estimated
operating shortfall of $2,057,300 in the 1995 Pro Forma Waste
Budget. A contribution of $2,057,300 from the Solid Waste
Reserve/Surplus is therefore required to finance this
shortfall (See Attachment #1) .
• It is estimated that the cost of recycling and landfill
disposal to the average Regional household will remain for a
second consecutive year at approximately $49/household which
is- lower than- other regional municipalities (Peel . $55/HH,
Halton $72/HH) .
• Waste Management costs represent about - 10% of the total
combined requisition for. the Regional General Levy and Waste
Management Costs per household per year.
There are local differences in the per household costs for
each Area Municipality as a result of the following factors
which can be best explained by the respective Treasurers of
these Municipalities:
1) Residential assessment as a percent of total assessment;
2) Waste generation per capita;
,x 3) ' Population/household. growth .rates; =•_ .
4) Collection practices; and
5y"-"Over' and'Under`"levies from`previous years,: Payments-in-
Lieu, Bell Telephone receipts and local waste disposal
costs.
2.2 No Major Increases in the 1995 Budgeted Net
Regional Waste Billings to Area Municipalities
• The 1995 budgetted net Regional waste billings to each Area
Municipality are estimated to be very close to 1994 amounts.
Any differences in billings for 1995 over 1994 is a direct
result of increases/decreases in estimated tonnage for
landfill, recycling or yard waste.

AND THE APPLICABLE 1995 CURRENT AND CAPITAL BUDGETS AND RELATED FINANCING 6
2.3 1995 Preliminary pro Forma Net Expenditures for Waste
Manaciement are Estimated to Decrease by $1 8 million
:. The major factors contributing to the decrease in Net Solid
Waste Management Expenditures are as . follows: -
A decrease in processing costs at the Recycling Centre of
approximately $1.5 million;
A decrease in net landfill and transfer station - tipping
fees to Metro Toronto of $512,000;
-An increase in the sale of recyclable materials of
$165,000;
- Confirmation of a full year MOEE subsidy for recycling
operations resulting in an increase of $664,000 over 1994..
2.4 The Projected Balance in the Waste Reserve
is Estimated at $15.2 Million by End of 1995
• The unaudited projected balance in the Solid Waste Reserve as
of December 31, 1994 is estimated at $17.3 million..
• Year to date estimates indicate that there is a surplus of
$900,000 in the 1994 Waste Operations.
The 1995 Pro Forma Budget has estimated a draw from the
Reserve of
-$2.1. million, . leaving a projected 1995 year end
balance of approximately $15.2 million.
2.5 The System Rate Would Rise to $83.68/tonne in 1995
if Waste Reserve Was Not Utilized
• Once the Solid Waste Reserve is depleted, the annual
operating shortfall will have to be funded by increases to
the Waste System Rate, decreases in expenditures or increases
in revenue.
• If the 1995 Pro Forma Waste Management Budget operating
shortfall was fully financed from the Waste System Rate
charged to the Area Municipalities, then the system rate
would need to rise to $83.68/tonne from $70/tonne and the
cost per household would rise to $60. This more accurately
reflects the true cost of Waste Management in the Region.
This is an improvement over the 1994 Budget. In 1994, the
estimated rate .to fully finance the waste operations was
$91.04/tonne. The 1995 rate of $83.68 represents a decline
of $7.76 per tonne.

2.5 The System Rate Would Rise to $83.68/tonne in 1995
if Waste Reserve Was Not Utilized/ cont'd
• This analysis highlights the importance of reducing the
Region's reliance on the Solid Waste Reserve to finance the
waste operation.'s deficit. The Waste Reserve should be used
to limit large fluctuations in the Waste System Rate and to
finance future capital expenditures. By constraining
contributions from the Waste Reserve, sufficient fund
balances will be available so that gradual increases in the
Regional Waste System Rate can be maintained.
3.0 SIGNIFICANT PROGRAM CHANGES IN THE 1995 PRO FORMA BUDGET
3.1 Durham no Longer Receives a Waste Rebate from Metro Toronto
• Effective May 1, 1994, Durham Region no longer receives a
residential rebate from Metropolitan Toronto.
• On April 19, 1994 Regional Council approved the'
recommendation:
"that staff from the Works and Finance Departments be
authorized to negotiate with Metro Toronto to become 'a
"private user" and pay the current $50/tonne tipping fee
at Brock West and that negotiations with Metro on a Waste
Agreement be suspended until this matter is resolved. "
• At the time, Durham was negotiating a Waste Agreement with
Metro Toronto to gain access to Metro's transfer stations
once Brock West closes. Durham needs access - to Metro's
transfer stations to satisfy the MOEE's order for Durham to
build a transfer station.
• Included in the waste agreement were provisions for costs
related to perpetual care, for Metro to divert waste from
Brock West and costs associated with the Brock W. effluent.
In total the agreement was estimated to cost Durham
approximately $86/tonne, $36/tonne or $4 million higher than
if Durham paid the $50.00/tonne tipping fee. (Background
information is available upon request - Confidential Report
#94-J-7) .
Since Metro had just reduced their landfill tipping fee to
$50.00/tonne, it was decided that paying the $50.00/tonne was
more advantageous than entering into the Agreement.
• When compared to the 1994 Budget, the net tipping fee to
Metro declined to $50/tonne in 1995 from $54/tonne in 1994.
(Note the 1995 figure recognizes that Durham will no longer
have to pay the $1.2 million diversion fee to Metro that was
budgetted in 1994, and will no longer receive a rebate. )

3.2 Costs to Process Recyclable Materials
Have Been Reduced by S1.5 Million
• Changes made at the Recycling Centre have reduced the gross
processing costs .to $1,903;700 in -1995 from $3,434,700 in
.. 1994, a decline of $1,531,000. The gross cost/tonne for
processing has declined to $87.33 in 1995 from $163.56 in
1994 (Based on 21,800 tonnes recycled in 1995 and 21,000
tonnes in 1994) .
• The changes to the processing operation are as follows:
Plastic pop containers, and metal containers are no longer
sorted prior.. to shipping. The containers are shipped
together directly to market. This has reduced the manpower
required to manually sort these materials at the Recycling_
Centre.
Since May 1, 1994 newspaper and cardboard were sorted
during collection rather than at the Recycling Centre for
the City of Oshawa (clean sort) . A similar program began in j
Whitby in October and the program will be extended to they
remaining municipalities , in 1995.. Although collection 1
costs are anticipated to increase for this program,
processing costs are expected to decline resulting in an
overall net savings to the Region.
- The introduction of rural blue box collection has reduced
the need for the Region's Igloo Program. The program will
be phased out reducing costs in 1995 by $100,000.
Installation of loading docks at the Recycling Centre are
expected to reduce costs by $75,000 annually.
3.3 Blue Box Collection Costs Increase by $962,400
• The total cost of the blue box collection program for 1995 is
estimated at $2,968,200, an increase of $962,400 over the
1994 budget of $2,005,800.
• The cost for the existing blue box collection is estimated to
increase by $175,600 due to the delivery of clean sorted .
newspapers and cardboard from Oshawa and Whitby and
anticipated growth of 3%•.
• The 3R regulations mandated by the Province require the local
municipalities to have curbside blue box collection in rural
areas where there is garbage collection and in multi-unit
dwellings. It is estimated to cost $786,800 in 1995 and
$1,081,300 on an annual basis including the delivery of clean
sorted material. The regulations indicate an implementation
date of January 1, 1995.

3.3 Blue Boz Collection Costs. Increase by $962,400/cont'd
• Although the 3R Regulations require .Area Municipalities to
provide these programs . as of January 1, 1995, it will be
: impossible to properly develop and initiate these new
program on on a Region-wide basis before the spring of 1995.
•-- The-estimated"cost of $786,000 - for.the expanded program for
the 1995 budget year is comprised of the following
components: -
- $64,900 for clean sort of newspapers and cardboard (full
year $86,500) ;
- $493,100 for rural collection with clean sort ($657,500
full year) ;
$35,300 for small apartment building with clean sort
($47,100 full year) ;
- $193,500 for large multi-unit buildings ($290,200) full
year.
* .The expanded blue box collection program will require the
purchase of additional blue boxes at an estimated total cost
of $129,100. The Region is recommending that the area
.. municipalities reimburse the Region for these costs.
• For more detailed information on the 3R regulation please
_ --. refer to Attachment_ #2.
3.4 The Total Costs for Blue Boz Collection and
Recycling Operations Decline by $568,600
• In summary, despite. the added blue box collection costs, the
total cost for Recycling Centre Operations and Blue Box
Collection is estimated to decrease to $4,871,900 for 1995
from $5,440,500 in 1994.
• This represents a gross total cost per tonne of $223.48 in
1995 from $259.07 in 1994. (Based on 21,800 tonnes in 1995,
and 21,000 tonnes in 1994. )
4.0 REGIONAL TRANSFER STATIONS
• The Region has a policy for billing area municipalities for
their use of the Regional transfer stations. In 1993, the
following policy was adopted:
"Those area municipalities be charged the System Rate for
the use of Transfer Stations based upon the respective Area
Municipality's share of the disposal costs incurred for
solid waste transferred from the Transfer Station to the
Metro Brock West Landfill Sites (actual tonnage transferred
times the system's rate) . " 9 10 15

8.0 CONCLIISIONS
• The 1995 Waste System Rate will remain at the 1993 rate of
$70/tonne.
• The average Region-wide cost per household per year for waste
management and 3R's will not increase in 1995 over 1994 and
remain at approximately $49 in 1995, less than $1 per household
per week.
• There will be no major increases in the budgetted regional waste
billings to the area municipalities.
• Net waste management expenditures have declined by $1.8 million
primarily due to changes in the recycling operation.
• As has been pointed out in previous years' reports, the annual
Waste Management operation is not self-financing. The. Waste
Reserve will be subsidizing the costs of waste management in the
order of $2.1 million for 1995. If the current waste management
budget was fully financed from the Regional Waste System Rate in
1995, the rate would rise to $83.68/tonne, and the cost per
. .average region-wide household would rise to $60.
• 'The Waste Management Operation should be made self-sufficient as
early as possible. Further, sufficient waste reserve . balances
should be maintained in order to stabilize any major annual'
increases in the Region's System Rate and the resulting cost
increases per average Region-wide household.
• In addition, the IWA long term site, meeting the 50% diversion
target by 2000 and the CIPSI proposal will result in additional --
costs to the Region. These future costs will need to be
financed from the Waste Reserve and by increases in the Region's
System rate.

4.0 REGIONAL TRANSFER STATIONS/cont'd
• The Region bills the area municipality according to their
estimated Percentage of total landfill tonnes at the transfer
station times the Regional Uniform System Rate.
• In the summer of 1994, two transfer station surveys were
conducted. The results were consistent with those of the 1993
survey. . Therefore, for 1995,. an average . of the 1993 and 1994
surveys were used to allocate -: the tonnage to the area
municipalities. Using the average of the two surveys has
eliminated the need to adjust the 1994 Waste Billings.
• Since a trend - in usage at the transfer stations has been
exhibited, a transfer station survey will not be conducted in
1995. The Works Department will review usage at the transfer
stations in the future.
• -The Proctor and Redfern Study contained recommendations relating
to user charges at transfer stations and landfill sites. Staff
of thea Finance and Works Departments will review the
recommendations in the Proctor and Redfern Study as well as the
financing of these facilities including charging recyclable
material to the area municipalities and will-report back to the
appropriate standing committees on its findings.
5.0 THE NEED TO MAINTAI N AN ADEQUATE WASTE RESERVE .
- BALANCE TO MEET FUTURE COSTS
• It is important that there is an adequate balance in the Waste
Reserve available to finance future financial liabilities and to
-cushion the effect of- increased costs on the Waste System Rate.
Without the Waste Reserve, these future costs will require large
increases in the Waste System Rate.
• The following is a * list of initiatives/program that could
impact the Region in the future.
- The establishment of the IWA long term landfill site in Durham
will impact the Region's planning policies, infrastructure
requirements, health issues and municipal finances. These
impacts will have financial implications to the Region.
- Meeting the Provincial 3R Diversion target by 2000 will result
in a substantial increase in the Region's waste management
costs.
- If implemented, the Canadian Industry Packaging Stewardship
Initiative (CIPSI) will also increase the Region's costs to
manage blue box materials.

6.0 REQUIRE COMMITTED PROVINCIAL, 3R FUNDING TO FINANCE
THE BLUE 13O% PROGRAM AND FUTURE 3R ACTIVITIES
• The Ministry of Environment and Energy recently announced the
current level of funding for the Blue Box program would continue
until March 31, 1996. _
• It is imperative that funding for this Provincially mandated
Program be secured beyond 1996.
• The Province should also confirm funding for the extra costs
related to the expanded blue box collection program into rural
areas and apartments. No commitment from the Province has been
given to date.
In addition, meeting the Provincial 3R's Diversion target of 50%
by 2000 will require new programs and initiatives which carry a
large price tag. The Region cannot plan future recycling
... initiatives to meet the mandated 50% diversion target by 2000
without a long term commitment of funding from the Province.
7.0 ASSUMPTIONS IN. PREPARING 1995 PRELIMINARY BUDGET
AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
• The 1995 Pro Forma Budget estimates were used in the preparation
of the 1995 Annual Review of the Solid Waste Management System.
As a result, some of the information may differ from the final
1995 Budget to be approved in April 1995.
•<-.The. Waste System Rate will remain at $70.00/tonne. Any deviation--
from-,the preliminary estimates -for expenditures and revenues,
would.have to be .financed by a reduction in expenditures-or from
an additional contribution from the Solid Waste Reserve.
• The proposed 1995 Pro Forma Regional Solid Waste Management
Budget has been prepared on the assumption that the Region will
continue to use the Brock West Landfill Site during 1995 and
that the tipping fee will remain at $50/tonne in 1995.

APPLICABLE 1995 PRELIMINARY CURRENT AND CAPITAL BUDGETS AND RELATED FINANCING
H GOT #2 - 1
DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE 3R's REGULATIONS
INTRODUCTION
TheRegion has received a number of Resolutions from Area
Municipalities,regarding the impact of the new 3R's Regulations, and
requesting the Region to pay for the extra costs to fully implement
rural blue box collection and multi-unit residential recycling
collection programs. Copies of the Resolutions are attached to
this Report.
On March 3, 1994, the Province announced the introduction of the
3R's Regulations. The new 3R's Regulations are now in effect In
Ontario and there" is an impact on Area Municipalities. They must
provide curbside blue box collection to all rural residents
receiving municipal curbside garbage collection service, AND
further, they must also provide recycling collection to all
residents of multi-unit buildings, greater than six dwelling units
in size, receiving municipal garbage collection.
The Region has been assisting the area 'municipalities In co-
ordinatIng . information regarding the number of new residential
stops to be serviced, the estimated unit costs to provide these new
services, the development of contract documents and specifications,
and the scheduling. of various meetings to review the financial
impact of these programs.
REGIONAL INVOLVEI�I'1!
On October 30, 1991, Regional Council- approved a recommendation
establishing the conditions under which the Region would continue
to finance blue box collection. The conditions, in part, included
the frequency of collection to be once every two weeks, no
expansion of the current level of service, and should any area
municipality wish to provide a more frequent collection or expand
the level of service, it would be at the expense of the area
municipality.
The Region currently pays. for the blue box collection service
except rural collections in Whitby and Pickering and the current
contract with Miller Waste Systems expires- on January 31, 1997.
It is now proposed that the Region fund the collection of recycling
Programs and co-ordinate the contracted services on behalf of all
Area Municipalities.

DETATT.FD INFORMATION ON THE 3R's REGULATIONS
AREA MUNICIPAL INVOLVEMENT
Correspondence _ -has* been,-i,, received
from- most.:: ofs the Area
Municipalities requesting the-Region to arrange for and finance the
costs of the new recycling programs where such programs are jointly
administered in a manner similar to the existing blue box
collection contract. Copies of the correspondence are attached.
The information provided in this report will outline the financial
considerations for the Region to undertake these programs.
It is proposed that the Area Municipalities will each administer
the daily activities.. of the : recycling programs within their
respective jurisdictions. This arrangement has worked very well
with the existing blue box collection program and the Region
anticipates the Area Municipalities will be willing to undertake
this responsibility.
SCHEDULING THE STARTUP OF NEW RECYCLING PROGRAMS
Although .the .new .3R's Regulations require Area Municipalities to.
provide these programs-.as .of January-I, :1995, it will be impossible
to properly develop, initiate and budget for these new programs on
a,Region-wide basis before the Spring of; 1995 � .
It is importantforthese programsbea success.,
promotional material ,will, be ::developed--- and distributed t those
residents to encourage them. to full participate. It is -proposed
that residents would receive?: detailed information and a blue box
just before their recycling program would become active. Residents
are generally more receptive to these types of programs in the
Spring rather than during the winter season and lead time is
required to. distribute promotional material and blue boxes as well
as finalize collection arrangements.
It is proposed the new recycling programs would be scheduled to
start as follows:
April 1, 1995 curbside service to small apt. bldg.
April 1, 1995 curbside service to rural residents
May 1, 1995 contracted service to multi-unit bldg.

DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE 3R's REGULATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF NEW RECYCLING PROGRAMS
The -following new collection programs must be provided:
1) rural blue box collection
2) large multi-unit building collection
3) small apartment building blue box collection
The following is a description of each program.
1. RURAL BLUE BOX COLLECTION
This program is required if an area municipality provides rural
residents with regular curbside garbage collection service.
The Region has discussed with the current blue box contractor,
Miller Waste Systems, the possibility of providing all rural
residents within the Region who receive municipal garbage
collection with a blue box collection service starting on April 1,
1995 and ending on January 31, 1997. This end date coincides with
the expiry date of the existing collection contract. They are
confident they can provide the required service and have indicated
they would need four. months advanced notice in order to be fully
prepared for this service. It is recommended that the Region enter
into an agreement with the present contractor for the curbside
collection of blue box materials from rural residents.
Only two Area Municipalities, Pickering and Whitby, currently offer
their rural residents curbside blue box collection service. The
contractor charges these area municipalities $1.15 per stop and
this extra service has been accommodated by the contractor using
his existing fleet of equipment.
The costs shown in the table below have been calculated using the
estimated-number of rural residential stops as provided by the area
municipalities times the proposed basic unit cost of $1.15 per stop
for blue box collection plus $0.06 per stop for the delivery of
source separated newspaper and cardboard as provided by the
contractor for 26 weeks (including GST) .

It is anticipated that the Region would assume, upon request, the
collection costs in the Town of Pickering and in the Town of Whitby
when the program commences in April, 1995.
The total estimated costs including taxes, for full rural blue box
collection service in all municipalities for a one year period- is
approximately $657,500. However, it is proposed that this program
start on April 1, 1995 and accordingly, the 1995 budget requirement
for this program would be $493,100 for the last nine months of the
year. -_
2. LARGE MULTI-UNIT BIIILDING COLLECTION
This program is required if an area municipality provides residents
of a multi-unit building, greater than - six units in size, with
municipal garbage collection service. Depending on the number of
apartment buildings . and townhouse complexes located in a
municipality and the level of municipal collection service offered,
the financial impact of this new program varies from municipality
to municipality.
It is proposed this new program will be phased-in during 1995 and
it will be offered as a contracted service for the collection,
transportation, processing and marketing of recyclables. Regional
and Area Municipal staff are currently developing the necessary
contract documents, establishing the level of collection service,
identifying the building locations to be serviced, and preparing
schedules for the education- and promotion of this program.

DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE 3R's REGULATIONS
It is- anticipated that -a variety of different recycling containers
will be used on this contract including: rolling carts, igloos,.
bulk containers,- etc.- The type-and number of containers to be used
at any one site will depend on the building or property space
available, the size and layout of -the building, and anticipated
level of participation by building residents. Due to space
limitations, collection service would be once every week.
It is not practical to start this program before May 1, 1995.
However, it is reasonable to obtain contract tender prices for this
work in the Fall of 1994 and to award a contract in January 1995.
The area municipalities, the successful contractor and the building
owners/superintendents will require several months in order to
finalize all the necessary arrangements prior to the start of
collection service proposed for May 1, 1995.
The following table provides the estimated number of dwelling units
to be served .as determined : by the , area municipalities and
approximate cost estimates for this program. Final costs will not
be known until tenders are received:
Municipality Estimated Cost for Multi--unit Building Collection

Clarington 0 0
Uxbridge 382 9,100
Scugog 0 0
Brock 0 0
Total 18,994 $290,200
The total estimated cost to offer the required recycling programs
in large multi-unit buildings for a one year . period, is
approximately $290,200. The estimated cost for the last eight
months of 1995 would be $193,500.
If an owner of a multi-unit residential building provides private
garbage collection service, then under the new 3R's Regulations,
the owner of the building is required to provide similar recycling
services. This report only accommodates those buildings where the
municipality provides the garbage collection service.

_COL
LE O
OLLEON
This program is an extension-.to the large- multi-unit-..re
building program, except sidential
it accommodates those small apartment
buildings with generally less than ten dwelling units. It is
Proposed that these buildings would receive the regular residential
curbside blue box collection rather than a service that provides
large sized igloo, cart, or bulk type recycling containers. These
smaller buildings have limited space for large sized containers.
Contami-nates are generally minimized when residents are provided
with a blue box and the contractor is .able to screen all materials
at the curb. Collection would be .once every two weeks.
The Region approached LMiller Waste Systems to- determine if they
would provide this service to approximately 2,200 units from April
41995 to January 31,-. 1997.L The contractor advised they are able
to provide this service at the current residential collection rate
of $0.77 per unit - The contractor would - deliver all collected
materials to the Region's Recycling Centre and all newspapers and
cardboard would be ready for direct baling.
The .following table outlines the estimated-costs by municipality

1, 1995, the budget cost for the balance of the year is $35,400.

DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE 3R's REGULATIONS
PURCHASE OF NEW BLUE BOXES
With;the.introduction of-curbside blue box collection in the rural
area and in small apartment buildings, the Region will need to
purchase additional Blue Boxes.
The Region also proposes to supply Blue Boxes to residents of
multi-unit buildings receiving municipal garbage collection
service.
.The total estimated cost to purchase blue boxes is $129,100.
DELIVERY OF SEPARATED NEWSPAPERS AND CARDBOARD MATERIALS
Effective October 1, 1994, all the newspapers and cardboard
collected by the contractor in the City of Oshawa and the Town of
Whitby will be delivered source separated to the Region's Recycling
Centre ready for direct baling. The new recycling programs for the
collection of blue bog materials from rural residents and from
small apartment buildings will also require the contractor to
deliver newspapers -and cardboard to the Region ready for direct
baling.
After, the new recycling programs are initiated in the Spring of
1995, there will be a number of areas remaining in the Region where
newspapers and cardboard will NOT be source separated at the curb
prior to delivery to the Region. These areas include Pickering and
the urban centres of Ajax, Clarington, Uxbridge and Scugog.
The Region approached Miller Waste Systems and requested a cost
estimate to provide this particular service in these
municipalities. The contractor advised that this service can not
be extended to these municipalities at this time because additional
collection vehicles are required. However, with the introduction
of rural blue box collection using their services, they could
accommodate the source separation of newspaper and cardboard in
these municipalities at a cost of $0.06 per stop.
The estimated additional cost to undertake this program for a one
year period is $86,600. However, it is proposed this program start
at the same time as the rural blue box and small apartment building
collection programs. The -estimated costs for the last nine months
of 1995 is $65,000. The acceptance of this program will ensure all
newspapers and cardboard materials delivered to the Region's
processing facility will be ready for baling and this will allow
the Region to further reduce processing costs.

SIII�ARY OF COLLECTION AND CAPITAL COSTS
The estimated costs for the new required 3R1s programs are shown in
Table 1. The estimated increase in. collection and capital costs
for 1995 over the 1994 Regional Budget allocation is approximately
$1,018,200.
IGLOO COLLECTION PROGRAM
The Region provides a contracted collection service to 148 Igloo
containers located at 49 site locations . at an estimated cost in
1994 of $215,000 per year. These igloos will not be required
because of the introduction of the new recycling services. It is
proposed the Region would phase-out this customized service to the
13 high rise apartment buildings, the 20 rural sites, the 7
commercial malls and the 9 other private locations once the
replacement programs are fully operational.
Originally, the Igloo recycling containers were sponsored by
various organizations for an exclusive three year period, after
which the Igloos became the responsibility of the Region. As soon
as a number of igloos have been taken out of service, the Region
would sell the surplus containers. It is anticipated that
Contractors, wishing to provide multi-unit building recycling
services, would be very interested in this type of container.
It is anticipated that during 1995 there would be a savings of
approximately $100,000.

Province of Ontario 3Rs Regulations - Additional Municipal Collections and Associated Costs
RECOMMENDATION
1. (a) That the Region of Durham be requested to arrange for and finance the costs of a
Region-wide contract relating to the additional. collection of residential
recyclable material which is required as a result of the Province of Ontario's 3Rs
Regulations; and further,
(b) That the Area Municipalities administer the contracts for their respective Areas
in a manner similar to the current blue box contracts.
2. That a copy of the Commissioner of Public Works Services' report dated 1994 09 13 on
Item No. 121-94 be forwarded to the Region of Durham.
REPORT
At the Public Works Committee meeting of 1.994 07.19, the Commissioner of Public Works
Services provided an information report on the Province's new 3Rs Regulations and its
impacts on the City of Oshawa. A copy of this report dated 1994 07 19 on Item No. 105-94 is
appended as Attachment No. 1.
The prime impact of.the the 3Rs Regulations for. the City of Oshawa will be the requirement
to institute recycling programs in all multi-residential buildings at those'locations where the
-City collects refuse.
Currently, the City provides bi-weekly blue box collection only to residential buildings with
three dwelling units or less. The annual cost for existing blue box service within the City is
approximately $675,000, with costs being borne by the Regional Municipality of Durham.
This arrangement was established under a Region-wide five-year tender extending from
February 1992 to February 1997, with the Contractor entering into separate contract
agreements with each of the Area Municipalities.
The costs of implementing additional recycling services in the City in accordance with the
3Rs Regulations has been estimated in the neighbourhood of $200,000.
On 1991 10 02, Regional Council adopted the following recommendation:
"a) THAT the Region of Durham continue to finance blue box collection subject to
further recommendations from the Waste Reduction and Finance and
Administration Committees; and
b) THAT the matter be reviewed by the end of September, 1992."
9 7Q
32
REPORT TO TtIE PUBLIC ITEM NO. 121-94
WORKS CO1dMITTEE (Continued) - 2 - MEETING DATE: ' 1994 09 13
Subsequently, on 1991 10 30, Regional Council adopted more specific conditions for the
financing of the collection of blue boxes as follows:
"THAT the area municipalities be advised that in accordance with the October 2,
1991 resolution of Regional Council, the Region will continue to finance blue box
collection on the following conditions:
a) Frequency of blue box collection must be once every two weeks;
b) No expansion of current level of service;
c) Material to be collected in the blue box will include newspaper, cans, glass
bottles, PET bottles, corrugated cardboard and telephone books. No
additional materials are to be added without the approval of the Region;
d) '- Igloo collection costs will be funded by the Region; and
e). Should any area municipalityy-wisli to provide more frequent collection or
expand the level of service, it will be at the expense of the area
municipality."
In light of the above noted Regional Council resolutions concerning the financing of blue box
collection services, the additional costs would be a City responsibility.
Staff of.the Area Municipalities have been meeting with Regional staff over the past few
months to discuss the impacts of the 3Rs Regulations and to explore a Region-wide tender
for additional services similar to the approach that was taken for blue box collection under
the current five-year contract. Generally, it is felt that a co-ordinated approach would
optimize unit costs on an overall Regional basis, as costs would be distributed across a
: .larger number of units. .,This would also accommodate. the development of common
_ promotional and educational programs with a sharing of staff resources during the
implementation. It should be noted that while the -tender would be Regional, Area
Municipalities would continue to manage the day-to-day administration of the collection
contract.
The financial impact of the Regulations has been a prime concern of all Area Municipalities
and the Region of Durham. Current blue box collection costs for the entire Region are
approximately $2 million.
While the additional financial impact on a Regional basis is substantial, the Department
feels that the ongoing costs associated with recycling collection should be assumed by the
Region of Durham. With the Region's direct involvement and funding for these programs,
there is greater assurance of a Region-wide approach to recycling. Also, the likelihood of
Provincial grant funding to the program may be greater.

Province of Ontario 3Rs Regulations
RECOMMENDATION
That the Commissioner of Public Works Services' report dated 1994 07 19 on Item No. 105-94
be received for information.
INTRODUCTION
The Public Works Committee, at their meeting of 1994 04 12, was provided with a News
Release and package of information that had been received from the Province of Ontario
concerning the new 3Rs Regulations. The Committee was advised that as soon as the
Department had an opportunity to review the new Regulations and determine the anticipated
. impact that the legislation would have on the . City, -a report would be prepared for
Committee and Council.
A copy of the information circulated on 1994 04 12 is appended as Attachment No. 1 to this
report.
BACKGROUND
In 1991, the Provincial Government announced a Waste Reduction Action Plan with the intent
of reducing the amount of non-hazardous waste going to landfill by 25 percent by the end of
1992, and at least 50 percent by the year 2000: In support of this plan, a series of Discussion
Papers were developed and circulated by the Province to seek public input on the initiatives
that were being proposed to achieve the waste reduction targets. "Initiatives Paper No. 1:
Regulatory Measures to Achieve Ontario's Waste Reduction Targets" was released in October
1991, and provided first insight on the Regulations.
In April 1993, the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MOEE) announced their intention to
pass into law the new 3Rs Regulations. At their meeting of 1993 07 26, City Council adopted
the following motion:
"That the Director of Public Works' report dated 1993 07 20 on Item No. 68-93 be
received for information and a copy of the report outlining the City's comments
and concerns regarding the implementation of the proposed new 3Rs Regulations
be forwarded to the Ministry of Environment and Energy."

WORKS COMMITTEE (Continued) - 2 -. MEETING DATE: 1994 07 19
A general summary of the mandatory programs of the 3Rs Regulations .and the impact they
will have on the City is outlined below.
MUNICIPAL 3R3 PROGRAMS
1. Residential Recycling Program
All local municipalities with a population of more than 5,000 are required to establish
and maintain a source separation collection program for any residential property from
which the municipality collects refuse. If refuse is collected curbside, then recyclable
materials must be collected curbside at a frequency of at least half that of the refuse
collection. Where the municipality provides bulk refuse collection on private property,
recyclable materials must also be collected.
The mandatory list of recyclable material to be collected is as follows:
• Newsprint
• Food and beverage containers made of: aluminum, glass, steel, and PET.
At least two additional materials must be collected from the following supplementary
list:
• Aluminium foil • Magazines
• Boxboard and paperboard • Plastic film
• Corrugated cardboard • Paper cups and plates
• Fine paper • Rigid plastic containers
• Foam plastics - • Telephone directories
• Polycoat paperboard containers • - Textiles (excluding fibreglass, carpet)
In Southern Ontario, this program must be implemented by January 1, 1995.
Impact
The City of Oshawa currently provides a curbside bi-weekly blue box collection service
for residential properties of up to and including three dwelling units. This program
covers the City's urban area, the Hamlets of Columbus and Raglan, and the Bickle
Subdivision. ' Materials currently collected meet the requirements of the new
Regulations as all mandatory items are collected, plus two supplementary items -
corrugated cardboard and telephone directories.
As noted above, the Regulations require that recycling collections be extended to all
residential properties currently receiving City refuse collection service. Recycling
collection will, therefore, have to be expanded to the following additional multi-
residential areas:

the site by either blue box, 96-gallon roll-out containers (auto-carts) or Igloos,
depending on the size of the unit and on-site restrictions. This extended
service would affect an estimated 161 properties or 10,188 dwelling units.
Any rural areas in the City receiving refuse collection service will also require blue
box service. This requirement is currently being met, however, it is an added future
implication, should refuse collection be extended to additional rural areas in the City.
At this time, it is extremely difficult to determine accurate costs for the
aforementioned additional services, however, based on discussions with contractors and
other municipalities which have implemented multi-residential recycling, collection
costs are estimated to be in the order of $200,000 to $250,000 per year exclusive of
disposal costs. However, there should be no significant increase in overall disposal
costs incurred by.the City as the Region of Durham currently has a uniform flat tipping
rate of $70/tonne for both refuse and recyclable material. Consequently, recyclable
material would be diverted from the waste stream at the same disposal costs.
The implementation of these new services will also require the development of
appropriate educational and promotional programs. It will be necessary to work
directly with building owners, superintendents, and residents at each building site in
order for recycling programs to be implemented effectively.
ai y Typify, educational
and promotional campaigns gns should be commenced in each building a week or two before
service commences. While the 3Rs Regulations places the onus for the education of
tenants with the property owners, staff feel the Municipality must play a large role in
developing -and assisting with this part of the process to ensure all residents are
receiving a consistent and complete message.
2. Backyard Composting Program
All local municipalities with a population of 5,000 or more are required to implement a
residential backyard composting program by January 1, 1995.
Impact
The Region of Durham has implemented a backyard composting program in the Area
Municipalities. Within the City of Oshawa, comoosters can be purchased for 515 at the
Holland Building Centre. Therefore, there is no new impact with this program.

.".3. Leaf.and Yard Waste Composting Program
All local municipalities .with a population between 5,000 and 50,000 are required to
continue with a compost leaf and yard waste program if they had one in place at the
time the.Regulations were passed: Any municipality with a population of 50,000 or
„.,more.must have a compost leaf and yard waste program.- Such a program must be a
reasonably convenient service and can include curbside collection, provision of depots,
or a combination of both. A communications program promoting public participation
must also be in place. This program must be implemented by January 1, 1995.
Impact
The City of Oshawa provides a bi-weekly spring and fall collection program for leaf
and yard waste, This program runs for eight weeks in the spring and six weeks in the
fall. During periods that the City does not collect, residents can take these materials
to the Ritson Road transfer station where a special bin is provided for final destination
at the Region's composting site. The Regulations. appear to be fairly flexible in
allowing municipalities to determine a "reasonably convenient service" for this
program. There is no new impact on the City with this program.
IC&I WASTE REDUCTION PROGRAMS
I- IC&I Recycling Programs
Major industrial, commercial, and institutional (IC&I) waste generators within Southern
Ontario are required to implement source separation programs for specified recyclable
material by March 3,. 1995. Included in this sector are larger shopping complexes, "
hospitals, schools, restaurants, office buildings, hotels,motels, construetiori projects,-
demolition projects, manufacturing sites, and multi-residential buildings of six or more
units.
The Regulations do not require municipalities to provide recycling collection to the
IC&I sector, except for the multi-residential buildings where the municipality collects
refuse. This aspect was covered above under Municipal Programs.
Impact
The Department did have concerns regarding the enforcement of this program,
particularly as it relates to applications for new development. MOEE staff, however,
have advised that municipalities will not be expected to enforce this program as it will
be enforced using existing Provincial staff. There is little doubt that the City will
experience increased pressure fbr City service for multi-residential properties
currently not receiving City collection. The reason that these multi-residential
properties presently do not receive City collection, is due to the fact that they are not
able to comply with the City's site requirements.
The City Hall complex will be required to provide source separation programs to
collect corrugated cardboard, fine paper, newsprint, and food and beverage containers
made of aluminum, glass, or steel. The Community Services Department has already
implemented such a program.

2_ Waste Audits and Waste Reduction Work Plans
The major IC&I waste generators noted-above are required to undertake a waste audit
and prepare a waste reduction work plan by September 3, 1994.
Impact
The Region of Durham staff have been providing some technical assistance to the IC&I
sector in this area. The Community Services Department are actively pursuing a waste
audit for the City Hall complex through the establishment of an Interdepartmental 3Rs
Committee.
3. Packaging Audits and Packaging Reduction Work Plan
Major packaging industries with employee hours of 16,000 or more per month, or
importers of $20 million or more per year are required to undertake packaging audits
and reduction work plans by September 3, 1994.
Impact
There are no direct impacts to the City of Oshawa at this time.
RECYCLING FACILITIES
Through the 3Rs Regulations, it now becomes less onerous to establish a recycling site for
source separated'waste. Provided certain locations, design, notification, operating, and
reporting requirements are met, a recycling site can be exempt from the Certificate of
Approval process. These types of facilities are designated: municipal waste recycling sites,
leaf and yard waste composting sites, and municipal waste recycling depots.
Impact
All recycling facilities are currently provided by the Region of Durham and there is no
foreseeable change in this responsibility.
SUMMARY
The primary impact to the City of Oshawa of the Provincial 3Rs Regulations will result from
the requirement to institute recycling programs in all multi-residential buildings where the
City collects refuse. Based on very preliminary analysis, this could cost an additional
$200,000 to $250,000 per year.
Staff from the lakeshore municipalities of Durham Region have been meeting over the last
several weeks with the Region of Durham to explore the concept of a Region-wide tender for
new services, similar to the approach taken in 1991 with the blue box tender. It is felt that
such an approach should result in the most economical overall costs for the Region as
collection costs could be distributed across a larger number of units, common promotional
and educational programs could be developed, and staff resources could be shared through
implementation_

WORKS COMMITTEE (Continued) -.6 - MEETING DATE: 1994 07 19
However,. it is important to recall the resolution which was passed by Regional Council at
their meeting of 1991 10 20. The resolution was as follows:
"THAT the area municipalities be advised that in accordance with the October 2,
1991, resolution of Regional Council, the Region will continue to finance blue box
collection on the following conditions:
a) Frequency of blue box collection must be once every two weeks;
b) No expansion of current level of service;
c) Material to be collected in the blue box will include newspaper, cans, glass
bottles, PET bottles, corrugated cardboard and telephone books. No
additional materials are to be added without the approval of the Region;
d) Igloo collection costs will be funded by the Region; and
e) Should any area municipality wish to provide more frequent collection or
expand the level of service, it will be -at the expense of the area
municipality."
Based on this resolution, Regional staffs current position is that the collection costs
associated with the new programs of 3Rs regulations will be an Area Municipality
responsibility.
Finally, it should be noted that in order to effectively implement the 3Rs Regulation, the
City's Refuse Collection By-law requires redrafting.. A review of the existing 1979 By-law,
will be initiated over the next few months.
