DUPAGE COUNTY WASTE AND RECYCLING REPORT 2019

Since 1991, all counties of the State of Illinois are mandated to collect and report waste and recycling information to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency under the Solid Waste Planning and Recycling Act (SWPRA). The Act empowered counties and the City of Chicago with solid waste planning and set recycling goals. This Report provides data collected from DuPage municipalities and townships and attempts to more thoroughly measure recycling within the County by incorporating special event collections into the overall recycling rate.

BACKGROUND DuPage County collected waste and recycling data from municipal and township entities that provided waste hauling services to households during the time frame January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019. This data provides information on residential recycling and waste tendencies in the County along with comparative data for hauling contracts between municipalities. Information is utilized to track trends and provide insight into behaviors of County residents. Participating municipalities have also found reports and data useful when considering contract renewals and services.

2019 WASTE AND RECYCLING DATA

DuPage County municipalities and townships contract with private haulers to conduct traditional curbside collection of materials such as paper, metals, plastics, landscape, and other special collection waste. Within these contacts waste management companies are obligated to track and provide weights of materials collected to either the municipality or township periodically or, when requested. DuPage County surveys municipalities annually to tabulate contract services and weights. This data provides a general overview of basic hauling information across the County. Table 1 provides a summary of the responses received from the 2019 waste and recycling survey. Twenty-six communities responded to the survey. This is slightly down from the 28 communities that responded in 2018, but still creates a robust amount of data to analyze. The quantity of refuse collected from the curb was aggregated and measured at 227,377 tons. The curbside recycling reported totaled 80,518 tons, and landscape waste was reported at 30,896 tons. Total tons of recycled material, all material diverted from a landfill in this case landscape waste and curbside recycling, was calculated at 111,414 tons. The total amount of curbside material (waste and total recycling) generated was 338,791 tons.

A breakdown of respondent totals is provided in Appendix A. The recycling rate has been calculated by dividing the total recycled tonnage by the total waste tonnage. The average recycling rate based on the respondents is 34%. Four municipalities exceeded a 40% recycling rate, with the Village of Lemont reporting the highest recycling rate at 53%.

WASTE INDUSTRY TRENDS Recycling continues to face significant challenges that have been compounded from China’s strict import policies and a domino effect that has resulted in additional restrictions in countries that were accepting the excess material barred from China; namely Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand1. These restrictions will become bans on most plastic scrap exports from the U.S. on January 1, 2021 under the Basel Convention of which the U.S. is a Signatory, but not a Party. Because of the Basel Party/Non-Party trade prohibition, of which the U.S.

is considered a non-Party, Basel Parties will not be allowed to trade most plastic scrap with the United States, except under a separate bilateral or multilateral agreement. Although the details for the new Basel requirements for exports of plastic scrap have not been determined, it is likely to further diminish outlets for recycled material bails. This will further hinder processors and collectors alike when grappling with current contamination issues. Resulting impacts will likely create a short-term increase in the cost of municipal waste contracts while internal U.S. capacity is developed and deployed.2 Increasing processing costs for current material has already been recognized in shedding of low-value items from the recycling stream and increased municipal contact costs. Sometimes these fee increases have resulted in a cancellation of a recycling program completely. Although the effects of these changes have not been overly pronounced in the Midwest due to our insular geographic position in the United States, both the East and West Coasts have seen significant disruption and challenges to their recycling programs.3 The industry overall in 2019 was at a 25-year low in commodity pricing, and blended value has declined steadily over the year. Fiber has seen the most dramatic dip in pricing due to the export restrictions and lack of regional processing capabilities. Despite these difficulties, DuPage County did not see a service disruption nor was there a change in materials accepted at the curb. To track and work with recycling efforts across the State of Illinois, DuPage County has continued to participate in the State Recycling Task Force (Task Force) on behalf of the Solid Waste Association of North American (SWANA) state chapter. Significant deliverables (Appendix B) were created over 2019 which were made available to the public for outreach and education. The Task Force continues to be comprised of haulers, recyclers, non-profit, government entities and other stakeholders with the goals of: • Developing consistent messaging to curbside residential participants to decrease the amount of

contamination in residential recyclables and to increase the marketability of recyclables from residential programs, and

• Increasing participation in residential recycling programs (both curbside and drop-off) and raise the quantity of recyclables.

The group continues to meet regularly to devise additional resources to assist in reducing contamination in curbside recycling.

DUPAGE CURBSIDE RECYCLING

To assist with reducing confusion of accepted materials in curbside recycling, DuPage County continues to update and direct residents to the online curbside recycling guide that launched late-2018. Unfortunately, active pageview tracking was not in place until March 2019. Data collected from March – December 2019 indicated individuals that visit the webpage spend an average time of four and half minutes on the page. This is noteworthy since the average time of 2 minutes is considered successful engagement.4 During that same time, the webpage was visited by 724 unique IP addresses.

The County has continued to focus efforts on the do’s and don’ts of curbside recycling with regular social media updates and online resources. Social media saw an increase or more than 30 followers on Twitter with March 2019 creating the most impressions near 12,200. Both platforms, Facebook and Twitter, have reached over 400 followers organically and continue to grow. DuPage communities have been encouraged to share posts and other relevant content. To ensure communities were aware of these engagement avenues, the County included a question this year to identify the extent of their outreach. With a total of 22 responses, 8 communities were actively connected with our materials and website while 14 were not aware of these outreach items (Figure 1.) Based on the response, DuPage County will maintain their efforts to promote available education materials and services to all communities.

DuPage County continues to track the acceptance of various items in local programs. Due to the multitude of material packaging, and differences in material acceptance between haulers and municipalities, contamination is an ongoing concern. In general, most communities collect glass, cartons and most plastics #1-5. Six communities accept the more restricted plastic #6, polystyrene. This polystyrene, although unspecified, is likely the resin-based polystyrene and not the blown polystyrene more commonly known as Styrofoam. Options for recycling Styrofoam(c) are limited to special drop-off or mail-in programs. DuPage County refers residents to DART Container’s public 24-hour drop-off available in North Aurora. This drop-off accepts both foam food service containers and packaging. In 2019, as with prior years, the County offered a seasonal polystyrene foam drop-off location at the Woodridge Wastewater Treatment Facility located off Route 53 in Woodridge, Illinois. This collection site accepted block packaging materials. In addition to the Woodridge collection site, the County Administration Building, 421 N. County Farm Rd., collects food-service foam used in the 421 café year-round. These collections combined have recycled an estimated 120 cubic yards of both food service and packaging foam.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS Along with curbside waste and recycling collections, municipalities are supplying other opportunities to dispose or recycle specific commodity goods. These goods can vary and are prevented from being landfilled through dedicated recycling efforts or by necessity of a ban. In most cases the special collections result in pre-sorted high volumes of a single item that is more valuable to a recycler. Figure 2 provides insight into the types of special recycling collections occurring in municipalities and the percentage of respondent communities providing these services. Communities across DuPage have adopted one-day recycling events as well as seasonal collections to help gather these specific items. Seventeen communities reported that they had provided this opportunity to their residents. One day events can include document shredding, paint collection, electronics and other miscellaneous goods such as eyeglasses, flags, bikes and propane tanks. The County assisted with document shredding events as well by providing partial funding for 13 community events. DuPage County HOPE Task Force and the DuPage County Health Department have collaborated to continue the RxBox program. This program was launched in 2009 and was offered to DuPage police departments. Since it’s initiation, the program has collected more than 120,000 pounds of medicines of which, 15,749 were collected in 2019. The U.S. EPA states that the collection and proper treatment of medicines is a critical asset to the public, as studies have shown active pharmaceutical ingredients are present in groundwater and drinking water. Much of their presence is attributed to individuals flushing medications through the wastewater system. The EPA further relays that some studies have identified medicine-based substances in landfill leachate.

Starting January 1992, tires were banned from landfills in the State of Illinois. The Illinois EPA receives a fee from tires purchased which is utilized to support the collection and recycling of tires. In 2019, DuPage was selected to host a tire collection for local governments. Tires were accepted at the County’s Division of Transportation and the Illinois EPA provided a registered tire recycler to grind and recycle the tires. More than 800 tires were recycled by 20 local government entities. More information on tire recycling can be found at https://archive.epa.gov/epawaste/conserve/materials/tires/web/html/basic.html.

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE This reporting year was the first operational term with an expenditure “cap” for waste accepted at the Regional Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility. The City of Naperville and other facilities in the State implemented operational changes to comply with funding limitations. The HHW Facility in Naperville experienced a reduction in the amount of waste dropped off at the site but an increase in the number of vehicles visiting the site. The tally of DuPage residents both incorporated and unincorporated was 14,293 which was an increase of more than 400 cars. The increase may be attributed to a concentrated outreach campaign to DuPage communities. The County began an effort in the latter half of the year to encourage residents in the outer lying areas of the County to utilize the site. A summary of the materials collected is provided in Appendix C. In addition to the permanent HHW facility, the Village of Bensenville received assistance to host a one-day HHW collection event from the Illinois EPA. Due to the limited time frame for event advertising, attendance was lower than expected but received a positive community response. The County will continue to apply for one-day events to accommodate other areas of the County.

ELECTRONICS The recycling of electronics was impacted significantly by import restrictions of recyclables. Recycling experienced sharp increases in pricing which lead to local municipal and township supported program closures. The County was able to include both Bloomingdale Township and Addison Township into its program plan in 2019 securing both sites ongoing collections. In conjunction to the County’s support, both townships were able to realize a reduction in expenses as they offered a quarterly collection lowering the labor costs involved. Overall, the additional collection sites created a more comprehensive and consistent countywide program. Participation at the various collection sites exceeded 14,000 vehicles.

FOOD SCRAP COLLECTION Food scrap collection continues to gain attention and interest in DuPage County and the Chicagoland region. In 2019, DuPage County again participated in the Illinois Food Scrap Coalition (IFSC) a statewide collaborative working to divert food scraps from entering Illinois landfills. Five responding communities provided the opportunity for residents to participate in a residential curbside food scrap collection program. An additional three communities are expected to provide the option to residents in 2020. Unfortunately ensuring the amount of diverted food waste can prove difficult, as in many cases food scrap is combined with landscape waste. However, these tons are incorporated into communities’ reported landscape waste tons and thus engrained into the recycling calculations. The haulers who offered food scrap collection in DuPage County are Lakeshore, Republic, Roy Strom and Waste Management.

CONTRACT DETAILS

The past several years saw significant changes in the waste hauling industry. Waste Connections, a Texas-based firm, announced the acquisition of Groot Industries, an Illinois-based firm in 2016 with full integration in 2017. In 2018 and 2019 several communities changed haulers during contract bids and an uptick in Groot owned contracts has been noticed. In April 2019, another large merger between Waste Management and Advanced Disposal was announced with plans to complete acquisition in 2020. Both acquisitions, along with a prior one of Allied Waste by Republic Services back in 2008/2009, have reduced the number haulers servicing the communities within DuPage County. Despite these mergers a few local firms still maintain

contracts with some DuPage communities (Figure 3.) As part of this Annual Report, hauling contracts are reviewed for similarities and differences. Contracts between communities and a waste hauler can incorporate several additional options. Some of the variation addressed in the survey included, discounts, service areas, and item pick-up options. One area of growing interest is the extension

of municipal contract services to business districts within a community. Twenty percent of respondents indicated that they offer hauling services to these districts under

their current contacts. By offering businesses the opportunity to opt-into a municipal contact, a coordinated route may be used to reduce congestion in these districts. Furthermore, the homogenous materials from businesses are a desired commodity for most haulers. Other services such as landscape collection services and white good pick-up where offered by nearly all haulers. In addition to the survey, DuPage County maintains a database of contract details and pricing that is updated intermittently. The most recent update can be found in Appendix D.

SUMMARY

DuPage County has again exceeded the State’s mandate of recycling 25% of waste generated and has remained fairly steady year-to-year. The 2019 average recycling rate, which combines all recyclable categories from table 3 divided by total refuse of all six categories, is 33%. This percentage is especially notable considering the multiple challenges and dips of national and international recycling markets. As packaging and goods continue to become lighter, known as light-weighting, it is likely to see an increase in the year-to-year fluctuation of recycling percentages. The volume of recyclables will potentially increase yet tonnages will decrease. DuPage County is working with the waste hauling industry to better align our tracking and calculations of waste and recycling to adapt to these changes. When an accurate methodology is developed to account for this change, the County will review and amend its procedures for calculating the recycling rate. Although significant progress has been made in organically growing networks through social media and newsletters, this work needs to continue. The County will seek to further strengthen its engagement of residents and municipalities with outreach and education on waste, recycling and specifically recycling contamination.

Appendix B: Task Force Recycling Accomplishments

Below are the various deliverables of the Recycling Task Force: Guidelines:

The statewide recycling guidelines flier was completed and published by the IEPA. This educational aid has been contributing to wider-spread and better understanding of the DOs and DON’Ts of curbside recycling. The IEPA also developed an interactive curbside bin recycling guide to match the poster guidelines and provide enhanced information. A template was made available to counties and municipalities interested in mimicking the webpage.

YouTube Video:

Members of the group created the 2019 Earth Day Contamination video. Cart Tagging

Programs have been shown throughout the country to increase compliance with the guidelines, and several communities in the Chicago area have been piloting this method over the last year. There is a draft Cart Tagging Guide being developed. See the documents linked below for examples of wording for your hauler contracts.

Contamination Articles:

Following the June 2019 meeting of the task force, the group devised a list of the “Dirty Dozen” things that should not go in the recycling cart. Task Force Members have collaborated to write content as a template for others to use and post.

The Dirty Dozen • Non-recyclable Plastics • Clothing • Household Hazardous Waste • Batteries • Plastic Bags • Frozen Food Containers • Biohazards: Diapers and Syringes • Flattened Containers • Yucky stuff: Food and Liquids" • Shredded paper • Tanglers • Scrap Metal
