| 1 | | Reduce Your Waste Stream Challange | Discussion Item | REduce Your Waste Stream Challenge
The Streets Division will be launching a new program in 2012 called the Reduce Your Waste Stream Challenge. The program is patterned after a successful program in Waukesha County. Streets is purchasing the rights for the program from the Associated Recyclers of Wisconsin (AROW). AROW will provide technical support, record keeping and web hosting for the program which will kick off around Earth Day.
The Reduce Your Waste Stream Challenge involves teams of neighbors working to reduce their volume of refuse they generate by increasing their recycling and composting and changing their purchasing habits. More information on the program is available on the program's web site http://reduceyourwastestream.arow-online.org/
The recruitment of volunteers has been a failure. Only 18 households have signed up.
After several delays the Challange was finally launched with 16 households participating. The Challange began on October 14th with initial weighins and the waste reduction porting starting the week of 10/21. The Chalalnge will run for f | | |

| 1 | | Rodefeld Landfill Expansion | Discussion Item | Rodefeld Landfill Expansion
Dane County is expanding the Rodefeld Landfill in 2013. This expansion is critical to the City of Madison as we rely upon the facility to dispose of our solid waste. The expansion plans also dovetail with the City's plan to build an anaerobic digester for source separated organics.
As of January 2, 2013 the County's expansion plans on on schedule. The County has constructed and opened a transfer station at the Rodefeld site. The transfer station will be used to separate construction and demolition debris for recycling. The facility will also house a year round Clean Sweep facility for household hazardous waste.
The County's consultant has submitted the application and the application has been accepted by the Department of Natural Resources. The consultant is now working on the feasibility study which is the most important document for the expansion.
A committee with representatives form the affected communities, the City of Madison and the Town of Blooming Grove will begin to meet in late January to work out operating details. George Dre | | |
