an audit of the recycling program and a beachgoer survey to evaluate the effectiveness
of the program.

Building a Cost Effective Commercial and Institutional Electronics Recovery Program,
Alachua County, FL
Shane helped establish an in-house demanufacturing program that was initiated to
generate revenue from internal computer parts, as well as a monitor evaluation and
separation program that was implemented as a cost avoidance measure. Shane also
drafted educational materials for the project including a press release, brochures,
website recommendations, flyers, and a BMP guide for proper end-of-life management
of e-waste by businesses.
Comprehensive Waste Composition Study, Miami-Dade County, FL
Shane served as sort supervisor for this project. This study is unique in that sorting
activities take place at three different facilities and, therefore, each seasonal event
lasted two weeks.
Comprehensive Waste Composition Study, Pinellas County, FL
Shane served as sort supervisor for this two-season study that targeted nine generator
sectors. In order to achieve statistical validity, a sufficient number of samples were
needed and, therefore, each sorting event lasted two weeks. For this study, KCI
identified and targeted more than 160 loads of waste from 11 haulers over the four
week period. The results of this study were used to evaluate the potential waste
diversion that might be achieved through countywide curbside recycling, as well as
other program improvements.
Wood Reuse and Exchange Center, Sumter County, FL
Shane developed educational materials for this project, assisted in developing the pilot
study, drafted safety guidelines and tracking procedures. He also assisted with
developing a BMP manual for wood wastes and coordinating a statewide wood waste
workshop.
