1 CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE ASPEN CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 15, 2016 PRESENTED BY: LIZ O CONNELL - ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY

2 AGENDA Construction and Demolition waste Amounts Types Current diversion Municipalities with high C&D diversion Challenges Phase II of Waste Reduction Study

3 OVERALL COUNTY SOLID WASTE STREAM Non-Municipal Solid Waste: Consists primarily of construction & demolition debris Non-MSW approx 80% MSW approx 20% Based on 2014 & 2015 Pitkin County Scale Data Municipal Solid Waste (MSW): Consists of residential, commercial & institutional waste 3 Next slide

4 NON-MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE AT PITKIN COUNTY LANDFILL 2015 Totals Diverted (47%) 71,700 tons Alternative Daily Cover (48%) 31,400 tons Landfilled (5%) 8,400 tons 48% C&D waste 5% 47% Diverted ADC Landfilled

5 CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION (C&D) WASTE HAS INCREASED

6 MAJOR CATEGORIES OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE Currently diverted Rock/Concrete/Soil (Aggregate) Metal Currently Buried Drywall Plastic & Carpet Some diverted, some buried Wood Fixtures

7 AGGREGATE (2015 TOTALS) Crushable rock 42,356 tons received/diverted Concrete 2,066 tons received/diverted Screenable dirt 21,699 tons received/diverted Challenges: Supply exceeds demand Contractor hired to crush rock

8 METAL Metals have value Landfill accepts scrap for free Copper is sold directly from site Challenge: Mixed loads contain metals

9 DRYWALL NOT DIVERTED Lightweight but high volume Recyclable, but not worth it Mostly mixed with other materials Air quality concerns when ground Local virgin supply Compostable under the right circumstances

10 PLASTIC AND CARPETING NOT DIVERTED Plastic sheeting is not recyclable Plastic sheeting and bags are important tools in construction and demolition Plastic is brought in mixed loads Carpet is not recyclable Carpet is brought in mixed loads Carpeting includes the padding

11 WOOD PARTIALLY DIVERTED Untreated wood can be chipped Treated wood can be reused Challenges: Supply exceeds demand Mixed with other materials

12 FIXTURES PARTIALLY DIVERTED Reuse Options (Free) Drop and Swap Habitat for Humanity Give-away/sell Challenges Supply exceeds demand Damaged in mixed loads No local processing facility to recycle

13 BENEFITS OF REDUCING CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE IN ASPEN Environmental benefits GHG reduction Resource conservation Economic benefits Jobs created Keeps disposal affordable Resiliency Local Material supply Local landfill Sustainability initiative Outcome area affected: Key metric affected: City of Aspen -Sustainability Dashboard Yes Air, Waste Air- Levels of particulate matter; Waste Waste diversion rate; Amount of landfill space available; Number of miles waste travels for processing

14 MUNICIPALITIES WITH HIGH C&D DIVERSION PROGRAMS Chicago, IL Requirements Deposits Fines All projects Full time C&D staff 90% diversion Plano, TX Requirements Deposits Fines Most projects Part time C&D staff 75 % diversion San Jose, CA Requirements Deposits/Fees No CO All projects Full time C&D staff 79% diversion

15 CHALLENGES FOR ASPEN Aspen Challenges: Low density population Far from markets Low demand for used materials Low landfill fees nearby No State mandate for diversion Construction mitigation goals

16 CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION GOALS Limited space for waste separation More containers needed to keep materials separate and intact Encroaches on the roadway and parking Traffic impacts Waste containers can impede traffic flow More trucks/trips needed to move separated loads Increased time for project completion Deconstruction takes longer than demolition Separating materials takes longer than combining materials

17 PHASE II - NEXT STEPS Report findings Establish diversion goals Options that will increase diversion will estimate: Tons diverted GHGs reduced Jobs created Costs, cost savings, revenue potential Enforcement and staffing needs Public partnerships Develop best strategy for achieving diversion goals 17

18 SUMMARY Reducing Construction and Demolition waste is important and worth addressing Achieving reduction is complex and will require careful evaluation House made from 25,000 glass bottles Prince Edward Island, Canada Phase II will provide us with more information to start evaluating options
