Examples include: - Producer responsibility for manufactured product - Building permit codes that require recycling to be included as part of the design - Demolition permits that require deconstruction to be implemented to the extent practical during [he project - Debris management plan requirements - Regulations pertaining to the storage and transfer of residential and commercial waste, including specific requirements relating to recycling and waste reduction practices - Definitions of residential, commercial, and industrial recyclable materials - Regulations requiring waste haulers to monitor and implement waste reduction-related programs such as multi-hin systems and materials bans - Rate regulations and structure of tee systems associated with waste reduction plans - Collector agreements including service areas, County rights with regard fo setting of collection agreements, transfer of collector agreements, collector application terms and conditions, collector responsibilities. - Performance guarantees, including bonds to guarantee compliance with ordinances - Civil penalties for recovery o1 fees and damages, including enforcement provisions, citation authority, and right of entry. - Indemnifications language to protect the County from frivolous litigation. - County's rights to monitor, inspect, and enforce ordinances - Appeals and dispute resolution processes. 7 • Either option would require legislation to implement • Mandatory recycling should be fairly simple to implement • In 2008, ordinances were drafted to ban plastic bags and organics - Implementation can be complex - Organics ban would require substantial facilities and other infrastructure at relatively high cost • Would provide for recycling area in all new multi- family and commercial buildings • Benefits are long-term • A modest increase in construction costs ,6 8 • Could provide a measure of stability and County sanction • Could also require residential haulers to provide a recycling service Would require some administration and staff to do safety checks • Administration and funding changes would be required • Specifics would depend on type of program • Funding options: - Property taxes - Line item on property tax bill - Direct billing - Pay-as-you-throw 9 • Specifics will depend on which options are recommended for implementation Chapter will be modified once implementation plan is outlined Implementation plan will include policy changes, funding methods, and legislation that may be required 10
