Yard waste pickup approved
City advisory board OKs Public Works plan for recycling
Kansan Staff Writer
By Anne Grego
A recycling board on Monday approved a report recommending that yard waste be separated from regular trash pickup.
In a town meeting, the City Commission's Recycling and Resource Conservation Advisory Board approved a report presented by the sanitation division of the Lawrence Department of Public Works. The proposal calls for a curbside pickup of grass clippings and leaves from all Lawrence residences except apartment houses and trailer courts.
The collected yard waste would be composted and used by the city, the report states.
The advisory board cited the cost benefits as a reason for suggesting yard waste collection. The compost could be put to use by the city rather than taking up costly space in a landfill.
The city currently pays $15.50 a ton to dump waste in a landfill. The Department of Public Works estimates that 46 percent of the waste generated by a household is yard waste. Savings for a year under the new plan are estimated at $110,000.
The plan outlines three options for collecting yard waste:
■ Yard waste would be collected once a week, and trash picked up once a week, rather than the current twice a week. The pickups would be on separate days, and no additional equipment or personnel would be needed.
- Trash would be collected twice a week, and yard waste would be picked up once a week, requiring additional personnel and equipment
The city would contract the collection of yard waste to a private company, and trash pickup would not change.
The board's recommendations will now go to the City Commission, which will make a final decision on the plan.
One area of concern is the Oread
neighborhood, where dumpsters are used.
The once-a-week trash pickup could cause problems in such a densely populated neighborhood with little yard waste, Mayor Bob. Schulte said in a telephone interview after the meeting.
Board members discussed this potential problem and determined that dumpster pickup in neighborhoods like Oread should remain the same if the new plan were implemented.
The report did not recommend curbside pickup of other recyclable materials such as glass, aluminum and plastics.
Yard waste pickup would be easy for the city, while curbside collection of other recyclables would be too expensive, advisory board member Marci Francisco said.
Picking up other recyclables is expensive because there is a glut in the market for recycleable materials, superintendent of solid waste Bob Yoos said. No one will buy the materials.
The sanitation department would also have to buy new equipment designed for collecting other recyclable materials.
