Michael P. ~arvey September 6, 1991 Page 4 of 5 Flexibility, the Hospital Linen building was designed for expansion, which could be important in the future; the Quarry Road building does not have that flexibility. ~ecause of BFI's commitment to the environment and AB 939 goals, we currently pull as much cardboard ss possible from the waste stream, and temporarily stere it in the Transfer Station. By having the Recyclery next door, we can not only be more efficient in directing loads to the appropriate disposal location, we can also free up significant space in the Transfer Station to accommodate the yard waste before it is hauled to the composting facility at Ox Mountain. I assure you that the combination of the Recyclery relocated at the Hospital Linen building, Transfer Station and Compoeting Facility will handle the volume of recycling required by AB 9~9. As stated above in the yard waste component, we can assure that we will do everything within our ability to encourage public participation -- and with the JPA'e help we can provide the adequate faciliti&s. Whether the public meets the goals remains to be seen. But from our experience with recycling -- where San Meteo County has already reached more than a 25 percent reduction -- I am confident that the program outlined above et the facilities described herein will position us to reach end hopefully exceed the 50 percent reduction goal by the year 2000. 3. THE B~BT SUXTED METHOD FOR ~UNDXN~ ACQUISITION OP HOSPITAL LINEN BUILDIN~ The program described above -- designed to more efficiently handle and recycle the County's waetestrea~ and recyclables, including yard waste -- justifies the JPA including the acquisition of the Hospital Linen building into the Transfer Station operation as part of that basic agreement. I hope this letter answers the questions and concerns raised in your August 23, letter. We look forward to working with you to conclude negotiations ac that a recommendation can be made to each of the member Jurisdictions to allow us to: &. Acquire the Hospital Linens building through the Transfer Station operation.
