SECTION 4 <br />East Hawaii Sampling Results <br />This section presents summary composition results for the East Hawaii transfer station, <br />commercial, and self -haul substreams. More comprehensive exhibits that detail the full <br />composition results for the 58 component categories are presented in Attachment A <br />(Exhibits A -10, A -11, and A -12). As noted in Section 1, the composition percentages for the <br />East Hawaii substreams were taken from the results of the 2001 study. The tons for waste <br />components were calculated by multiplying FY 2008 tons for each substream by the 2001 <br />study's composition percentages. <br />Exhibits 4 -1, 4 -1, and 4 -3 show the overall composition results of waste disposed of in East <br />Hawai'i via the three main substreams. Organics, paper, and construction and demolition <br />debris account for 69 %, 77% and 83% of the transfer station, commercial, and self -haul <br />substreams, respectively. Other waste types that comprise large percentages of individual <br />substreams include metal and plastic in the transfer station substream (10.5% and 9.2 %, <br />respectively), plastic in the commercial substream (10.0 %), and special waste (14.6 %) in the <br />self -haul substream. <br />Exhibits 4 -4, 4 -5, and 4 -6 show the ten largest waste components in East Hawaii for the <br />three main substreams. Three of the top five components are the same for the transfer <br />station and commercial substreams (food, cardboard, and R/C paper). Cardboard <br />comprises 6.8% of the transfer stations substream and 10.5% of the commercial substream. <br />Several waste components appear in the top 10 of only one substream, including green <br />waste, bulky items, and R/C plastic, which are in the top 10 in the transfer station <br />substream, and film plastic, durable plastic, and newspaper which are in the top 10 in the <br />commercial substream. <br />The self -haul substream composition differs from the transfer station and commercial <br />substreams. The top three self -haul substream components are clean and treated lumber, <br />green waste, and industrial sludge. The only top 10 self -haul components that are also in the <br />top 10 in one or both of the other substreams include green waste, R/C organic, R/C paper, <br />and clean and treated lumber. <br />APPX B WASTE COMPOSITION REPORT 121709DOC 4 -1 <br />
