We are presently diverting about 17%-18°k of the total waste stream. • The contract term should be 20 years. • Possible economic incentives for reaching beyond the required diversion rates would be based on avoided costs. Penalties for lower diversion than required could be based on County direct costs. Landfill bans will be considered. Greenwaste and construction/demolition debris are identified in the Update of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan as being useful to ban from the landfill. It is impractical and undesirable to institute a ban without an alternative in place, we will work with the contractor to implement bans as necessary and desirable.
