SLIDE 2

Identify & assess recyclable materials for curbside collection & MRF Establish design parameters, process flow, & conceptual design Assess ownership &

  • perational scenarios

Assess financial feasibility

2

Scope of Work

Provide recommendation regarding potential MRF development in Lethbridge

  • Curbside single stream recyclables:
  • Fiber: newspaper, cardboard, mixed

paper & paperboard

  • Containers: aluminum cans & foil, steel

cans, plastic containers, paper cartons & glass containers

3

Recyclable Materials Assessment

  • Recycling station recyclables:
  • Same list as curbside

materials

  • Other materials: plastic bags,

shredded paper

  • Design capacity:
  • 15-year tonnage projection for facility sizing:
  • City-only residential and portion of commercial

recyclables: 5 tph increasing to 9 tph

  • Including regional recyclables from communities

within 150 km: 5 tph increasing to 12 tph

  • Conclusion:
  • Base MRF analysis on 10 tph design capacity

SLIDE 7
  • Building Size 27,000–34,000 square feet
  • Minimum 25 ft height for processing system and truck

access

  • Tipping floor with 2-day capacity
  • Area for processing system (18K–24K s.f.)
  • Bale storage area
  • Office, employee facilities, public meeting space
  • Site Size minimum 3 acres, preferably more
  • Truck scale and off-street queuing
  • Shipping container staging area
  • Employee & visitor parking
  • Truck traffic
  • Potential parking for recycling collection fleet

Lethbridge MRF Design Parameters

  • Progressive & Paper Trail
  • Neither site provides sufficient area
  • Both buildings would require

extensive expansion & modification

  • Both facilities are fully utilized for

existing company activities which would need to be relocated if use for City MRF was possible

  • Recommendation:
  • MRF should be developed on a new

site, potentially one already owned by the City

  • Recommendation:
  • If City decides to pursue MRF

development, utilize a public-private partnership based on City developing and owning the facility and a competitive selection of a private company to operate the MRF

10

Ownership & Operations

  • Alternative:
  • City partners with local non-profit work

center to provide labor and City provide MRF management and other staffing

slide-11
SLIDE 11
  • New MRF development phases:
  • Design, engineering, procurement, construction,

equipment installation, performance testing, & commissioning

  • 18 months required for new 10 tph MRF not

including site acquisition, investigation & permitting

  • A MRF to service a City curbside single

stream recycling program is technically and financially feasible

  • If the City chooses to move forward with

implementation, KCI recommends a new MRF developed using a public-private partnership based on City development &

  • wnership and private sector operation.
