QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?” Robert Redford

FROM THE DIRECTOR’S CHAIR:
Paradise with all its challenges:
The NRRA Conference theme this year is “Being Greener – The Road to Success”. From the look here it is hard to get any greener, but the challenge is how to protect it, preserve it and strive to do an even better job than we’re already doing. Whether on an island that is struggling with rapidly dwindling landfill capacity, or the North Country of NH fighting the constant challenge of transportation costs, we have more than enough to continually improve every year on what we did the year before. With a national recycling rate of only 33%, mounting disposal costs, and solid recycling marketing options that could provide millions more local jobs, we have every incentive we need to press on and improve year after year.
Waste to Energy Considerations:
The following link is a short report done on the practical application of a waste to energy facility to help reduce MSW landfill disposal on three islands. Included in the analysis is the carbon footprint review of recycling plastic and fibers along with metal and glass out of the waste stream. It appears that, due to transportation costs to a central recycling facility, the recommendation concludes that it is more cost effective in this case to use the fiber and plastic as feedstock for the burn facility rather than recycle them. What is not clear is what end markets may be in play to get true values for the materials. I recommend it only as an interesting case study for those who may wish to review it, and I have included this chart of tip fee costs for incinerators from a 2008 Biocycle Report for your information on tip fee costs in other areas of the country. Don’t everyone start hauling to Alabama!

HHW Study Underway: NRRA needs your help
NRRA has begun researching current HHW practices and costs in NH. We have met with NHDES and talked to a number of different facilities and we are gathering cost information on current HHW programs throughout the state, as well as examples of programs outside the northeast. Any information on your HHW program costs that you can easily send to us and share with us we would greatly appreciate. The study will conclude next October with a full report and recommendations available to all NRRA members. Your help will make this a much more relevant study. Our thanks in advance.

VERMONT NEWS:
As we have discussed with many of you , NRRA, as the contractor for the E-Cycles Program, is obligated to set and monitor a limit on the amount of E-Cycles Program material that may be “reused.”
After conducting a number of informal polls and conversations with Collection Locations and working cooperatively with ANR, we have found that most locations are not currently doing any reuse of E-Cycles Program Covered Materials or Banned but Not Covered Materials collected from Covered Entities.
As a result, effective immediately, we have proposed and had approved the following limits for Reuse done by E-Cycles Collection Locations:
- Collection Locations (exempting Recyclers and Recycler A’s with approved Non-Local Reuse Plans) are prohibited from doing any Non-Local Reuse (overseas) of any materials collected from Covered Entities.
- Collection Locations (exempting Recyclers and Recycler A’s with approved Local (domestic) Reuse Plans) are allowed to segregate up to 15,000 pounds annually for Local (domestic) Reuse under the following conditions:
- Collection Locations must collect and report weights of Covered Materials from Covered Entities and Banned but Not-Covered Materials from Covered Entities that are sent for reuse.
- Collected weights will be reported to ANR on the Collection Location Annual Report and to NRRA on quarterly basis.
- Collection Locations wishing to exceed the 15,000 pound annual limit must get prior approval from NRRA. Approval must include a detailed tracking and testing system.
Thank you to all for your continued cooperation and partnership to make the E-Cycles program a success.

Thousands attend free E-Waste collections
On December 10, the SSRC hosted 3 free concurrent electronic waste collections throughout its service area. The 6 hour events were conducted by Electronic Recyclers International on behalf of Samsung.
An estimated 3000 households, businesses and municipal departments brought unwanted electronics and small appliances to the collections at Abington High School, South Shore Vocational Technical School in Hanover, and at the MassDOT Park and Ride lot in Plymouth, filling 11 tractor trailers and 3 box trucks with 131 tons of old products.
SSRC Board members Joanne Dirk, her husband Charles, Kerin McCall and Sue Brennan (pictured) helped direct traffic and provide information to residents. SSRC executive Director Claire Sullivan’s fiancée Jan Galkowski, a technical professional who helped at all three collections, was astonished at the magnitude of materials.
The free service, provided in anticipation of pending legislation that would require manufacturers to manage their end of life products, saved area residents, businesses and municipalities an estimated $23,500 in disposal and recycling costs. To see more photos of the events, click here.
Cape Cod Biofuels paying for used vegetable oil
Alan Powell would like to source vegetable oil at local municipal transfer stations to feed the need for biodiesel in home heating oil.
Locally owned and operated in Sandwich since 2007, Cape Cod Biofuels is the only company in Mass. licensed to make biodiesel. Backed by federal government, get tax credits. Demand for product far exceeds supply of feedstock. CCB has 450 vegetable oil sources (restaurants, universities, South Shore Hospital). Sees potential in transfer stations.
Mass. requires heating oil contain 2% biofuel. Loud Oil buys all CCB’s product to blend with fuel oil. Ferries also use as fuel. Have manufactured 115,000 gallons in 2011; all product stays in MA.
CCB does frequent pickups, power washes containers to keep clean. Provide various size containers depending on needs: 55 gal drum, 300 gal cart, can be locked. Service is free, no minimum volume. Pay up to $1/gallon net for any kind of vegetable oil (excluding food, other contaminants), varies depending on volume, transportation cost. Have special equipment for frozen oil.
Oil must stay dry, no water. Food particles ok, they strain. It does go bad if it sits too long (shelf life of 3 to 4 months). Will take, send to Ready Rooter (cleans grease traps), they make animal feed.
CCB would supply flyers, signs next to motor oil container. EOMS can supply 5 gallon buckets.
Alan can be reached at 508-833-8666, apowell@capecodbiofuels.com.
New England Recycling Steve Goldstein, Paul Correia, http://www.nerecycling.com/ 508-822-4345
Provide construction waste processing service (services many of our Transfer Stations).
Won SSRC tub grinding contract, hasn’t had much use. Just did grinding in Hingham, now in Scituate. Hingham said NER did a good job, on time. Have 5 grinders. Also have horizontal grinders. Will take wood waste away for a fee. Will take tree butts for free if brought to Raynham, call ahead. New salesman is Brian Moore from Hull. Mr. Sylvester asked that Mr. Moore call him.
Letourneau did brush grinding in Norwell after Thanksgiving, 2 days (horizontal grinder).
HHW contract with PSC extended
PSC collections have gone very smoothly. Ms. Sullivan is working with them on billing. PSC proposed no rate increase for FY13, which the Board voted to accept.
Textiles Discussion
7% of residential trash disposed at SEMASS is recyclable textiles, estimate nearly 6,000 tons in SSRC towns in 2010. Mr. Cafferty, Mr. Sylvester and Ms. Sullivan met with Bay State Textiles, CapeWay Clothing Recycling, and Millbury Textiles last month. BST, which already provides service and rebates to several of our towns, proposed to double rebate to $100/ton if towns help increase diversion of the broad range of items accepted. Emphasize recycling (as opposed to donation) of lower grade materials to muni collections. BST proposed scholarships, in lieu of (part of) rate increase to aid publicity.
Scituate pulled Planet Aid box when it discovered it was not a charity claimed. Considering pulling Red Cross box.
Mr. Sylvester would like SSRC to produce banners about textile waste, reduce number of non-profit containers at Hingham transfer station.
The Executive Director is working with MassDEP, Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association (SMART), and Council of Textile Recyclers to do an effective outreach campaign to divert more of this material from disposal.
A costly “loophole” in trash regulations?
It seems that some Whitman residents are trying to have their trash fees on rental property abated by listing their home Towns of Abington and Rockland as their “trash hauler”. I am sure that is not officially sanctioned, but Loni is trying to help the assessors find some documentation to that effect. In reviewing Whitman’s regs, she found that it is not explicitly stated that it is for trash originating in Whitman only. Similar ambiguity exists in other towns’ regulations.
Rockland Health Agent Janice McCarthy found a reference in the Mass. Assoc. of Health Boards Legal Handbook. Mass. General Law c. 111 subsection 31A and 31B prohibits the transportation of solid waste without obtaining a permit from the local Board of Health.
Also, fines of up to $1,000 are also allowed for illegal dumping, under “Nuisance abatement”, MGL c.111 subsection 122. Thank you Janice!
Abington St. Patrick’s parade organizer may break 2 million mark in ’12
By Allan Stein, ENTERPRISE CORRESPONDENT
Posted Dec 05, 2011 @ 01:00 AM
ABINGTON —Jack Bailey expects to break the 2 million mark by the summer. That’s 2 million bottles and cans worth a cool $100,000.
And it all goes to put on Abington’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade and other town programs. Since 1982, the year Massachusetts enacted a bottle bill, Bailey has been collecting them, and stuffing his garage on Orange Street with people’s donations.
A typical week’s haul is about $6,500, $4,700 of which goes to pay for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and $1,800 for the high school marching band.
The 2012 parade – the town’s 33rd annual – will be held on Sunday, March 18 and is expected to be the biggest and best ever. Eleven bands have already committed to the parade, Bailey said.
As St. Patrick’s Day draws closer, donations pick up, he said.
The parade usually costs about $18,000 to produce. The Abington Arts Council and other donations and sponsorships also help pay for it.
“We don’t overspend. We budget accordingly,” said Bailey, chairman of the parade organizing committee.
Bailey accepted and won a $10 bet in 1980 that he could put together a St. Patrick’s Day parade that would draw a crowd. He’s been doing it every since and the parade has grown in size and participation every year.
Town Manager John D’Agostino called Bailey’s effort to reach the 2 million-$100,000-mark a true milestone.
Explosion prevention in your Battery Collection box
The MassRecycle listserve has had an informative discussion about the handling of lithium, lithium ion, NiMH, NiCd, small lead and button batteries, to which your Executive Director contributed. Here’s the summary:
Lithium batteries are not rechargeable, are used in many cameras and key fobs, and may resemble alkaline batteries or quarters. Clean Harbors no longer accepts lithium batteries. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), which provides the free mail-back boxes for rechargeable and button batteries, also does not accept lithium batteries. They do accept (rechargeable) Lithium-Ion batteries, which are flat and square, and used in laptop computers, as well as (non-lithium) button and rechargeable batteries.
What makes Lithium batteries so hazardous? Lithium is water reactive, meaning that when it contacts moisture, a violent exothermic (heat-generating) reaction occurs, as follows: 2Li + 2 H2O>> 2 LiOH + H2 + heat. When the hydrogen meets air, it combusts, creating a fire or explosion.
I learned this the hard way in college chemistry, but with lithium’s big brother sodium, which also carries a +1 charge when ionized (if I recall that far back). I accidentally dropped a small chunk of it into a beaker with water. The explosion knocked me on the floor! Amazingly, the beaker didn’t break.
To avoid arcing of not-quite-dead rechargeable and button batteries, tape the terminals or place in small plastic bags before sending to RBRC.
The SSRC devotes a whole web page to battery recycling/disposal information.
Road signs made from computer housings
Central Mass. MAC Irene Congdon invited a representative from Image Microsystems to speak at their last regional meeting. The company produces signs, sign substrate and road markers from 100% post-consumer electronic waste plastic.
The Mass. Operational Services Division is looking into putting them on the next State Contract for these items.
Christmas Wrapping Paper – To Recycle or Not to Recycle?
Christmas Paper CAN be recycled IF all of the foiled paper and ribbons are removed. Foil actually leaves holes in the newly manufactured paper!!!
Some Transfer Stations have a “NO Christmas Paper “ Policy to deal with this material during an already busy season.

“The Year of Light…Bulb”
Bona Fide Green Goods Newsletter
January 2012
Happy New Year and let there be light – efficient light, of course! There seems to be a lot of hoopla about light bulbs these days, so we thought we would offer some facts so people could… lighten up a bit.
Given today’s advanced technology, it’s time to say good-bye to Thomas’s extremely inefficient bulb that has been with us for 90 years. Starting now, light bulbs need to be more efficient at providing light. No, you don’t have to give up incandescent light bulbs – to be clear, you’ll still be able to buy a 100 watt incandescent bulb but it will only use 72 watts of electricity. This switch means we can’t call it a 100 watt bulb any more. Instead, light will be measured in brightness (called “lumens”).
The new laws will reduce energy consumption (and waste) and CO2 emissions. These changes have already spurred new technology and created hundreds of jobs in this country.
For more details about the new efficiency laws, visit the Lumen Coalition website. What’s to not like? Same light bulb – same brightness – lower electric bills.
Sonoco Recycling moves toward single-stream
By Editorial Staff, Resource Recycling
View article here
Sonoco Recycling, a major processor of recovered fiber, plans to make advances in single-stream recycling processing.
Sonoco Recycling saw volumes of recyclables handled by the company rise by 20 percent in its last fiscal year. Single-stream tons rose 59 percent during that period and now make up about 10 percent of total volume. SR has already invested in several single-stream materials recovery facilities (MRFs) in the past two years and says that it will double the number of company-owned single-stream MRFs in the next five years in high-growth southeastern population centers.

Dock Levelers for sale: Willing to sell for less than half retail price!
Contact Roger Rice at the Lee Transfer Station at 603.659.2239 or rrice@leenh.org
Permanently attach levelers to bridge the gap between the edge of your dock and the truck you’re loading or unloading. For use with a forklift, pallet, or hand truck.
Each leveler has a steel deck plate; a hinged, steel lip plate; and two 13″ Lg. × 12″ Wd. × 4″ Thick. rubber bumpers that are attached to steel bumper blocks. Dual extension springs act as a counterbalance to aid the leveler as it mechanically lifts the lip plate onto the truck bed; the springs return the lip plate to its original position when the truck pulls away. The deck plate and lip plate have a diamond-pattern tread for positive traction.
Weld levelers to a dock face with a minimum 8″ wide steel channel embedded into concrete at the dock edge. If the dock edge does not have an 8″ wide steel channel, use the optional installation kit (sold separately) for bolt-on mounting.
Standard Levelers—An included lifting hook raises the lip plate. Comes with a hanger for storing the lifting hook when not in use.
Levelers with Handle—Pull the self-storing handle back about 50° and then return it to its original vertical position to lift the lip plate. It’s so easy, there’s no need to bend, push, or lean.
