2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan Despite the seemingly simple convenience of a drop-off recycling option, this may still not be a feasible method of collecting EPS. UCD recently started an EPS drop-off recycling pilot program. They are partnering with Greenfreak, a company that brings a mobile unit to densify the EPS onsite and then haul the resulting material away. As of July 2, Greenfreak charges a $450 fee for the first 2 hours of densifing the EPS, and each additional hour is $100. UCD is a good fit for this program as their laboratories generate a large amount of EPS that is suitable for the Greenfreak program. Greenfreak only accepts clean, white “Grade A” EPS. Greenfreak will not accept packing peanuts, clamshells, or pieces that have labels, tape or any other foreign materials/contaminates. The EPS must also be dry. Most recyclables have a market value and can be sold once collected. However, Greenfreak does not pay for the EPS material they collect, so operating a continuous drop-off recycling program will be costly. This type of drop-off program might work well for any business (such as UCD) that produces large quantities of clean Grade A EPS. Such a business would see a significant drop in their garbage generation as all the EPS is sorted out for densification. If enough EPS is generated on a regular basis, the savings produced from decreased garbage service may exceed the cost of operating a drop-off EPS recycling program onsite. In summary, a continuous drop-off program at the DWR recycling center would be costly—especially as there would be no way to offset the collection cost by selling the densified EPS. The City will continue to monitor the UCD pilot program to see if such a program could become feasible at the DWR recycling center. 5.5.4 DWR Contract Amendments Occasional amendments to the DWR contract are expected and acceptable. Such amendments may include fee schedules, contractor service requirements to reflect programmatic enhancements and other changes. 5.5.5 Contractor Service Requirements As the recycling program develops and items from this plan are implemented, the DWR service requirements will change (example: switching from yard materials loose in the street to yard material carts). This plan recognizes that some changes will need to be made to the DWR contract to adjust for and provide possible service changes in the future. 6 Education and Public Information 6.1 Existing Conditions DRAFT The City employs a wide variety of outreach strategies to educate the public about source reduction and reuse of materials. A selection of the City’s current outreach programs are listed below. Some outreach occurs regularly every year, others are ongoing. Page | 6-32
