Silverdale Recycling and Garbage Facility Master Plan Presentation – Keli McKay-Means

The Silverdale Recycling and Garbage Facility (RAGF) is among the oldest of the four solid waste

facilities owned and maintained by Kitsap County and the busiest of the three drop box facilities. During

the span of 2014-2017 Silverdale RAGF experienced a fifty percent increase of MSW and a seventeen

percent increase of recyclables. Currently the facility does not have the capacity and flow to handle the

influx of material. The proposed plan takes into consideration a 30-year horizon for future growth and will

take place in phases for minimal impact and closures of the facility. The current estimated cost for the

project, is $4,484,088.

Future upgrades may include:

• Keeping the current garbage sheds with a few upgrades, and adding a new garbage shed.

• Developing a separate haulers’ entrance and road around the facility to keep the trucks away

from customers.

• Moving the new attendants’ building closer to the entrance.

• The entrance and new building will be designed for the possible addition of scales in the future.

• Recycling will have finger walls with walkways for customers to throw their recycling down into the

containers. These will allow for larger containers that are easier to haul.

• There will be space in the recycle area for the possible installation of a Styrofoam recycling

machine.

• Connecting to fiberoptic for the installation of a computer system to take debit/credit cards

Questions and Comments

• Jeff West asked if the new garbage shed would be designed with the ability to use intermodal or

live floor trailers. He recommends exploring the live floor trailers as a more economical option for

hauling.

• Jeff West suggests two windows on the entrance side of the building to have two cashiers able to

asses loads for faster service.

• Jeff West suggests exit areas along the entrance road for customers to leave if there are long

lines or other issues.

OVTS Closure Update – Keli McKay-Means

The OVTS floor resurfacing project is being completed in two phases; Phase 1 begins January 11 and runs to January 21 and covers the area of the floor directly in front of the compactor, limiting our ability to process waste. OVTS will be closed to the public (residential and businesses); only the five commercial garbage haulers will be allowed to use the facility. During this time repairs to the compactor will also take place. Phase 2 starts January 22 and ends February 5. OVTS will open to commercial account holders (there are approx. 400 accounts). OVTS will remain closed to all other self-haul customers. The message being released to the public is that OVTS will be completely closed and to delay projects and hold on to their trash. Solid Waste is encouraging people to sign up for text messaging alerts in case of early completion or possible openings to the public on weekends. Regular curbside garbage and recycle collection services should not be impacted during the closure.

KPHD –

Secure Medicine return program, “Med Project” Update – Bryan McKinnon

The secure medicine return program is rapidly growing. It is difficult to print a list of kiosks because new

ones are constantly being added. A current list is available online at the www.med.project.org website.

The code calls for one kiosk for every 30,000 people in a county. Kitsap County needs eight to be

compliant and we now have twelve. All prescription and over-the-counter medicines, liquid or solid, can

be taken to the kiosks. The only exceptions are pre-filled auto injectables and inhalers. These can be

returned using the mail-back option available on the website at no cost to the customer. Bryan

encourages SWAC members to try the mail-back system and give KPHD feedback on any issues using

the mail-back option.

The Sheriff’s offices in Silverdale and Port Orchard have always collected medicines and are even busier

now that they take all kinds. The large quantities being dropped at the Sherriff’s and some other popular

kiosks filled them faster than they could be emptied on the scheduled pickups. Adding more pickups and

extra storage containers called “sidecars” has helped ease the overflow.

Round Table

Pat – Update on the plastic bag ordinance. Thank you to Milenka for her excellent presentation of the bag

ordinance at the public meeting in Bremerton. The plan is moving forward with Bremerton and Port

Orchard being in favor of the ordinance. A presentation is planned for the North Kitsap Rotary to promote

interest in the Poulsbo area.

Bryan – KPHD is requesting feedback about sharps disposal, including public health concerns, the

network of disposal locations and other challenges associated with them. KPHD is collecting input for

better control and disposal.

Pat suggests the sharps issue could be an item for the SWAC 2019 work plan.

Laura – Frogg Soap has graduated the first intern from Coffee Oasis. Interns work their way through the

process from collecting and filtering the cooking oil to packaging and placing on the shelf for sales.

Adjournment

There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 5:30 p.m.

Next Meeting

The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for February 6, 2019. SWAC agreed to every other month

meetings for 2019. We will be developing the 2019 work plan and electing officers.
