Insider's
Insight:
Procurement of New
State-of-the-Art C&D
Recycling Facility
SWANA's Thinking
Outside the Blue Box
2008 Conference - Presentation from Bob Brickner
This presentation made by Bob Brickner (GBB Executive
VP), addressed
the challenge of approaching
the procurement
of a C&D recycling
facility from a strategic
standpoint, rather than a
simple call-for-bids, to
foster proposers’ participation
and creativity in
order to maximize the return
on investment for the
public sector entity.
The presentation was
made at SWANA's Thinking
Outside the Blue Box
Conference held in February
2008 in Corpus
Christi, TX.

Making Dual-Stream Residential
Recycling Better Than Single-Stream
Wastecon 2005 - Presentation from Harvey
Gershman
Millions of dollars
are spent each year removing commingled materials from
single-stream recyclables, repairing the damage that
these commingled materials cause to equipment at recovered
paper mills and then disposing of these same materials
as residue.
Supporters of
single-stream maintain that the move from a dual-stream
recycling system to single-stream collection automatically
increases the amount of materials that residents setout
for recycling. In fact, carts, which virtually always
accompany single-stream collection, facilitate this
increase.
This presentation
made by GBB President Harvey Gershman at Wastecon 2005,
in Austin, TX, highlighted how communities are experiencing
increased diversion rates using dual-stream recycling
systems and avoiding the risks that accompany single-stream
recycling collection and processing.

Using
Routing Software for Analyzing Residential Collection
Costs, Defining Procurement Areas and Routing
SWANA Collection Symposium 2004 - Presentation
from Kevin Callen
Route optimization
software is a sophisticated analytical
tool for not only creating routes for collection vehicles,
but also for analyzing collection costs and facilitating
procurements for contract collection services. The
traditional approach to analyzing collection costs
and
defining districts or procurement areas has been to
use
industry thumb rules, such as an average number of
stops
for a route per day. However, these industry thumb
rules
are typically not accurate on an individual route basis,
as
the number of stops and mileage can vary greatly based
on
the population density and distance from the depot
and
disposal facilities to the route. Routing software
accurately
defines individual routes, number of trucks required,
and
the mileage and labor required to service an area.
This
paper reviews the experiences of using FleetRoute
route optimization software for use in analyzing residential
waste collection costs and planning procurements for
contract collection services. Case studies include
Nashville, Tennessee and an undisclosed county in the
Mid-Atlantic. These projects were conducted by
WasteBid.com, Inc. under sub-contract with Gershman,
Brickner & Bratton, Inc.
