Curbside Recycling of Newspaper

B.

March 5, ISBS

Assistant City Engineer

RECOMMENDATIONS:

That Council give approval in principle to the implementation of a
Curbside Pickup Recycling Program for newspaper.
Thai- subject to the execution of a satisfactory agreement, Counci
authorize the payment of $ 2',000 to International Pape'r Industries to
assist in the purchase of plastic bags needed for,ths Curbside Pickup

2.

I

Recyci Ing Program and that suchfunds be 'taken out of the Environmental
Protection Budget.

That Staff proceed with drafting an agreement with International Paper
Ipdustrlss for ihe provision of a Curbside Pickup Rscycling Program for
nbwspaper in Port Coquitiam.

3
I

..'BACKGROUND:

Recently, at ths request of the Environmental Protection Cotmnittse,the
Coquit Iam SHARE Society In con luncrlon with International Paper Industries la
pr vate Recyc I ng Company) hereafter referred to as SHARE/ IP I, have made a
presentation offering the residents of Port Coquitlam a Curbside Recycling Service.
The recyci ed materia
is limited to newspaper .material only. In this context,
newspaper means all newsprint, all bond paper, flyers printed on glossy paper and
magazines noi glue bound.
I

I

I

The service offered basi eel ly involves the.iegular'ol lect on of old
newspaper on ths same day that household garbage is picked up'by City crews but: on
a bl-.weekly basis. At the start of this recycl lng program, a large plastic bag is.
dei ivered by SHARE/IPI to each single faml ly residence for the purpose of placing
into It newspaper intended to bs rscyclsd. On'every second regular garbage
col lection day, residents wi I I be requested to deposit the plastic bag f I I led with
old newspaper beside their garbage containers at the curbside. The recycl lng 'truck
supp i i ed and manned by SHARE/IPI wl
then pick up the plastic bag, empty It. and
leave a replacement for ths fol lowing pickup. Aside from a nominal siart-up fee,
which wi
be discussed later, to offset the cost of purcha-ing the plastic bags
initial ly, this proposed service is free to the residents and to ths City. SfWRE/
IP are conf ident that based on their experience with other municipal lties located
In the lower mainland, the recycl lng progtam proposed for por't Coqultlam is
economically feasible.
I I

I

I

I

SHARE/Ipi have further agreed that they will not Interfere with anY paper
drives sponsored by non-profit organizations in Port Coqultiam provided'they do not
pick up bags left at curbside by ths residents. In fact; they iwelcome such doorto-door or drop-off bin recycllng programs since it makes residents more aware of
the value of rscycllng.

t

There is apparently one other company which offers this curbside
pickup of
newspaper service. The name of the company is Belkin Paper Board
Ltd.
formerly known as Community Paper Recycling. They
recently entered into
an agreement to provide this service in Richmond have
commencing. in May or June
this year. Discussions with the Divisional Manager revealed
that this corn an
is primarily into operating a large number of recycling depots
for newspaper
and have In fact provided 'financing for' number.
of
non-profit
organizations
to start up their prograin tn collect old newspaper and sell such products back
to the- company for their consumption.
The company have been forced into
providing a curbside pickup of newspaper service by International
Industries. Their agreement with Richmond provides for the InitialPaper.
and
subsequent supply of plastic bags by the company
cost to Richmond. In ..
addition, th'ey will pay Richmond. S5.00 per ton atfornothe
recycled newspaper
collected with the understanding that this money be used .for
to
promote this Recycling Program. in the future. The companyadvertising
is not in a
particularly good position riow to offer a similar service to Port
because they are currently in the midst of making preparations to Coquitlam
implement
th is serv ice in Richmond . At
this
time, the company Is not sure whether or
not their agreement with Richmond is economically viable. For them,
the
experiences'ained from operating In Richmond
will provide them with answers.
Belkin Paper Board Ltd. has also submitted proposals
for curbside pickup of
newspaper In the three North Shore communities and Burnaby,'ut
they were not
successful. When asked whether or not
wiii
they
submit
a
proposal
to provide
a sim!Iar service to the
of Port Coqultlam, the Divisional Manager said
that he wlii have fo take aCity

After a successful Draftstop program for seniors in
through March of 1984, the Centre in 1985 supported January
a similar
proposal by the New Westminster Seniors Bureau. As one
of
the Centre's final projects, Centre staff will be
training
the New Westminster staff and donating the materials
leftover
from the 1964 Draftstop to their project.

assist the Energy Management Program for the
City of Port Coquitlam
The City has taken several energy measures
a) propane conversion
b) energy saving lights on the arena
c) Ifaste Heat Recovery System in the arena
d) City Hall HVAC Retrofit measures
e) Computer energy management systems in both the Hyde Creek
and Port Coquitlam Recreation Centres.
Centre Staff have put together several reports
o Monitoring Energy Consumption
o Waste Heat Recovery
o Energy Conservation in New Construction
o Port Coquitlam Recreation Centre
Audit
o Follow-up Report City Hall HVAC System Modification
2) To Promote and

significant

step facilitated
Centre staff will be an energy
consumption data base for each by
of
the major city buildings. This
will benefit the City's Future Energy
Measures by:
o enabling City Staff to monitor energy
consumption annually
( or even seasonally or monthly)
o establishing a base comparison should the
City receive
proposals from companies for reducing energy
(thereby enabling City to request guarantees) consumption
o making feasible the practice of requiring
City Staff
to produce payba k projections and actual savings
after
retrofit measures.
A

Thr oug h two municipal seminars,

contacts have
been established that should asist staff inter-city
in problem-solving

several
individual energy conservation projects.
Perhaps the one piece of information learned during the course of
the project: energy conservation in buildings amounts to not
much more than quality efficient building operations
that
perspective in mind, it is perhaps not too optimistic. toWith
hope
that effective energy management will become not merely an
isolated theoretical concept,
but an every day practical part
of building operations.

Dear Alderman Gates:
Re: Curbside Recycling Program

I am writing to inform you abut an
opportunity in Resource
Recovery and Recycling. The program exciting
is
called
Recycling and
basically
entails the regular collection of Curbside
recycled
paper on a day
coinciding with normal garbage days from individual homes.

it

The service would be free to the homeowners,
and free to the City. In
since the city can expect to reduce
residential
considerable savings on garbage tipping fees can be garbage weight by 102,
additiore, the whole community can benefit from havingexperienced. In
less waste going into
landfills, by actively participating in resource preservation
and recoverye
and through creating more employment in
a growing recycling industry.

fact,~W~

it

SHARE has been recycling
newspapers through a bin collection system for 13
years and has used the program to help
many people develop employment
skills and uses the proceeds in its other
community services.
SHARE is proposing to offer the
curbside program in tandem with
International Paper Industries Ltd.,
which is successfully
operating curbside programs throughouta company
the
North
beginning a program in Burnaby in a few months. Shore and will be
International Paper
presently has two plants (Surrey and North Vancouver)
for processing the
recycled paper.

Representatives from SIIARE and International
you or your representative to further present would be pleased to meet with
the opportunities available
through this program and how
could be implemented in Port Coquitlam.
Further information may be received
from Darrell Burnham by phoning him at
525-0188.
