SOLID WASTE PROGRAMS AND DATA
The Solid Waste Coordinator reported the following.
• Wise Recycling
After discussions with ARC Disposal and evaluating the pros and cons of the
proposed buy-back center the Village notified Wise Recycling that it would not be in
support of a center in Mount Prospect.
ARC Disposal thought the center would impact their revenue from the curbside
Program, which ultimately may affect the Village's cost for recycling services.
• Solid Waste Contract
ARC submitted cost proposals for both residential and commercial services. The
residential rates appear favorable but a more extensive analysis of the commercial
rates is necessary.
Recycled Paper - Printed with Soy Ink
• SWANCC/Motorola Computer Recycling Event
The October 23 computer electronics recycling event at the Motorola facility in
Arlington Heights was very successful. The event and advertisement has
Increased awareness of this recycling opportunity; Public Works staff are now
referring residents to businesses with drop-off locations for used computers.
• Dominick's
Dominick's no longer accepts plastic bags for recycling; the stores still take the bags
as garbage! The coordinator did confirm with the Jewel that their stores still collect
plastic bags for recycling.
In addition, residents have also reported that other grocery stores no longer offer
brown paper grocery bags.
