Format Structure
Basic Concepts
More energy spent on strategic decision making
Less energy spent on technical plan writing issues
Hopefully, fewer NBAO comments
The Solid Waste Management Plan
Body of plan will consist of 6 chapters
1. Introduction2. District Profile3. Waste Generation4. Landfill/Disposal Methods5. Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs6. Cost and Financing of Plan Implementation
Plan
The Solid Waste Management Plan
Appendices
Multiple appendices
Contain instructions, table templates, and suggestions
SWMD will replace instructions with SWMD-specific information

(About Structure)
V. WASTE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING PROGRAMS
An overview of Chapter V
Chapter V Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs
Contents:
Discussion of past and projected diversion rates
Summary of conclusions, and priorities
Program Descriptions
Chapter V Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs
Writer will use information from a number of appendices:
G. Diversion RatesI. Recycling Infrastructure InventoryJ. Reference Year Opportunity to Recycle/
Demonstration of Achieving Goal 1K. Strategic Program EvaluationL. Outreach Plan and General Education RequirementsM. Overall Conclusions and Descriptions of Programs to
be Provided
G. Diversion Rates
All SWMDs will calculate rates
Appendix will contain: Calculations Presentation of rates Minimal supporting text
25.43
I. Recycling Infrastructure InventoryIncludes:
Residential Defined in appendix Typical recycling opportunities
Other Commercial/industrial recycling opportunities Material collection programs
Yard Waste Programs Facilities Community collection services
J. Reference Year Opportunity to Recycle & Goal 1 Demonstration
Reference year opportunity to recycle:
All SWMDs will calculate and present
Use infrastructure from Appendix I
Assign population credits Default Weight of material Survey
J. Reference Year Opportunity to Recycle & Goal 1 Demonstration
Demonstrate achieving Goal 1:
Standard demonstrationORAlternative demonstrations• PAYT start-up• Non-subscription start-up• Multi-county drop-off
Extensive instructions due to complexity
J. Reference Year Opportunity to Recycle/Goal 1 Demonstration
Demonstrate achieving Goal 1, continued:
Commercial sector demonstration
Other components: Target waste diversion rates Encourage participation
K. Program EvaluationDeliberate process for making decisions
Look back: How are existing programs
working? Where are we strong, where are
we weak?
Look forward: What do we still need/want to do? Where take SWMD during planning period?
K. Strategic Program Evaluation
Series of Analyses:
Recycling Infrastructure Analysis geographic coverage, population density,
appropriateness… Recycling Infrastructure Participation Analysis Waste Composition Analysis
recovering largest waste streams
K. Strategic Program Evaluation
Series of Analyses, cont.
Sector Analysis programs for all waste generators
Economic Incentive Analysis e.g. consider PAYT, incentive grants…
Restricted/Difficult to Manage Waste Analysis programs for yard waste, scrap tires, electronics,
etc.
K. Strategic Program Evaluation
Series of Analyses, cont.
Diversion Analysis trend, relation to goal, other SWMDs, state…
Special Program Needs Analysis unique needs, allowable uses, facility operation…
Financial Analysis available and potential money, cost effectiveness…
State Plan Goal Analysis programs to meet all goals
M. Conclusions/Program Descriptions
Appendix M will:
Describe the SWMD’s conclusions from the analyses
Provide the SWMD’s priorities
Describe the programs the SWMD will provide (based on priorities, and resources)
New programs Changes to existing programs Continue existing programs unchanged
M. Conclusions/Program Descriptions
Program Descriptions
Discuss both “as is” and the “will be” in the same description
Detailed descriptions in this appendix Information in appendix used for summaries in
Chapter V
Chapter V Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs
Contents:
Discussion of past and projected diversion rates
Summary of conclusions and priorities
Chapter V Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs
Contents, continued
Program Descriptions Summaries of descriptions from Appendix M For existing programs, summaries of “what was”
in reference year and descriptions of “what will be” during planning period
For new programs, summary of “what will be” Format provides headings as placeholders
