2010, 1st Quarter Summary Highlights
Community and Family Development:
Skate Nights have been increasingly popular and average about 125 participants each
month. In February, the YMCA hosted a special fundraiser for 9 year old Emily Brennan
with volunteers from Marshpoint Elementary School. Over $2500 was raised to help
defray the cost of her medical bills.
The YMCA Fun Club After School Program along with college volunteers from Lees-
McRae College in North Carolina had a fun filled day of planting two plots in the
community garden. The kids and volunteers learned about plants, decorated the plant
signs, and will continue to upkeep their garden all summer and hopefully start harvesting
vegetables soon.
On May 1st the YMCA will host our Annual Healthy Kids’ Day and Summer Open House.
There will be healthy snacks, bounce houses, and opportunities for free family activities
centered around adopting healthy lifestyles.
Priceless Gifts Scholarships:
Our volunteer board of directors worked tirelessly to fundraise $23,000 for scholarships.
In 2009, 598 children and families received $59,000 in financial assistance. This year we
are already seeing an increase in the number of scholarship assistance applications.
No child or family is ever turned away from a YMCA program based on an inability to pay.
The process is completely confidential and can be renewed every six months.
Adults and Senior Citizens:
Health Screenings from St. Joseph’s Candler are held quarterly at the YMCA and are
free to members and smart-seniors. These screenings will check blood pressure, heart
rate, cholesterol, etc.
The YMCA is proud to offer bi-weekly aerobics classes to residents of both Oceanside
and Savannah Beach Nursing Homes. Classes are held on site at both locations.
Active Adult League/YEEPIES have been just that this quarter: ACTIVE! Field Trips
have included—Fort Jackson Tour and lunch at Molly McPherson’s, movie outings to see
Valentine’s Day and The Last Song with lunch at Tortugas Grill, a trip to Keller’s Flea
Market with lunch at the Cracker Barrel, lunch at the Olive Garden, and the 1st 37th
Annual Seafood Festival
The AAL/YEEPIES have had several quest speakers as well. Representatives from
Smart Senior and St. Joseph’s Candler Health Connections have come to speak as well
as the Better Hometown Coordinator Chantel Morton. Demery Bishop spoke to the group
regarding the Crime Stoppers program and local author Muriel Lindsay visited to share
her experiences with her upcoming book.
Sports and Fitness:
Adult Pick Up Basketball and Volleyball are becoming increasingly popular in the gym.
Games are held Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday each week. These programs
are free and open to the community.
Tybee Island YMCA / Recreation
We build strong kids, strong families, strong communities.
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 16 of 129
Youth Basketball—Winter basketball has 36 participants on 4 teams. This year we have
implemented a weekly sportsmanship award given to a new player each week who
demonstrates our character values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
Baseball and T-ball—The micros t-ball team has 15 players ages 3-6. This wee team
practices throwing, catching, hitting, base running, and of course, learning to follow
directions. The Under 8 baseball team has 10 co-ed players and several new volunteer
coaches stepping up to help.
Softball is back on Tybee. This softball season the Tybee YMCA has 14 young girls
representing the City and the YMCA in the Chatham County 10 & U Softball league. The
Tidal Waves as they are called will play games though the spring.
Kids Yoga—This yoga club meets Mondays for kids 5-12. Kids learn stretching, balance,
language skills, breathing, patience, and focus.
Over 32 aerobics classes are held each week at the Tybee YMCA. Classes include yoga,
pilates, kickboxing, core, tone and burn, meditation, senior chair, spin, and zumba. There
is something for all age groups and abilities at the Tybee YMCA.
Teens:
Teen Volunteers have been busy with new spring projects like maintaining our
community garden. Teens also help with monthly skate nights as referees, and closet
attendees, and junior coaches for baseball season.
Teen Cuisine has had a successful start this quarter with The Teen Cuisine Challenge
Series. Each week the young chefs have been presented with culinary challenges. From
Xtreme Cake Creations to Edible Arrangements to Creating a sandwich with less fat,
calories and crabs then a Baby Ruth candy bar participants have been learning how to
make wise food choices. Teen Cuisine is a free program for youth ages 11-15 and is
held Wednesday afternoons in the cafeteria.
We are also in the process of developing a new leadership program for teens that
combines the Christian Leadership Academy with the Student Leadership Program. The
focus will be on strengthening rising leaders in the aspects of self worth and personal
identity with a Christian centered life.
Child Care:
The Tybee YMCA Fun Club is changing its focus and image into that of an after school
enrichment opportunity for both public and private school aged children. A sub-
committee from the YMCA board of directors and after school participants parents have
been meeting to determine what child care at the YMCA will look like for the coming
school year. We are looking at ways to shift programming to better serve the needs of
the youth in the community.
Spring break camps were offered for two weeks this year. 7 children attended the Public
School Spring break camp, and 5 children attended the Private School Spring break
camp. Fun club After School current has 8-10 kids in attendance.
In Conclusion:
We are off to another great year in 2010. The Tybee Island YMCA just keeps growing and ever
expanding. We are so grateful for our community partnerships that help make sure we cater to all
groups on the island. We are also celebrating record numbers of members, thriving youth
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 17 of 129
programs, and better quality equipment and facilities and smiling staff and volunteers to help
make it all come together.
We appreciate the support of the City of Tybee and the flexibility to facilitate programs that
address all populations for the Tybee Island. We are focusing on expanding senior programs,
strengthening teen and youth programs, building solid foundations of health and wellness for all
ages, and providing additional opportunities for families to come together in a healthy
atmosphere.
In 2010, we look forward to a continued positive relationship with the City of Tybee and welcome
any questions, concerns, or updates necessary to build trust and greater commitment from the
entire community. We know that each year our need to allocate financial assistance to those
needing scholarships will increase. We will strive to provide affordable, consistent, and quality-
driven programming so that all may participate and promise to never turn anyone away for an
inability to pay. Thank you for your endless support of the YMCA and recreation on Tybee Island.
Hillary Brodofsky
Executive Director
*Please see attached excel document displaying attendance record comparisons for 2009 and

facility access, and overall memberships.

Continued to work with rental property owners on Hotel Motel compliance, Hotel Motel taxes collected this
quarter were $81,892.47 which is down $9,766 from last year at this time. This biggest difference is a “timing”
difference, due in part because last year at this time we had a larger amount of “past due” payments that we
received in the Jan – Mar quarter. This year, there are significantly less past due accounts playing catch up. The
other potential decrease could be due to the colder weather this winter. We expect to complete a better
process in the near future for reporting violations to enforcement officials.

I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 DEFINE PLANNING AREA
The City of Tybee Island Solid Waste Management plan (SWMP) has been prepared in order to meet the requirements
of the Official Code of Georgia, Annotated, Section 12‐8‐20 et seq., also known as the Georgia Comprehensive Solid
Waste Management Act. The SWMP provides elected officials and citizens of Tybee Island an opportunity to ensure
future solid waste management needs are anticipated and properly planned for. It has been prepared in accordance
with the Minimum Planning standards and Procedures for Solid Waste Management set forth by the Georgia
Department of Community Affairs for the planning period 2008‐2018.
The plan is organized according to five core‐planning elements:
1. Waste Reduction
2. Waste Collection
3. Waste Disposal
4. Land Limitation
5. Education and Public Involvement
The first section of the Plan includes a waste stream analysis along with a study of the categories of solid waste
produced by the City of Tybee Island. This section categorizes waste generation sectors (residential, commercial, etc.)
and how much waste is collected and disposed of from each sector. The second section describes ongoing and needed
waste reduction, collection, and disposal activities. The third section evaluates the community’s land limitation areas
for future siting of waste management facilities and reviews the on‐going and needed educational and public
involvement activities for effective solid waste management. Finally, the plan recommends an implementation
strategy to achieve the goals and objectives for effective solid waste management.
The Solid Waste Management Act requires that this Plan:
¾ Provide for adequate solid waste collection capability and disposal capacity within the planning area for
at least ten years from the date of plan completion;
¾ Identify solid waste handling facilities within the planning jurisdiction; and
¾ Identify the areas where a solid waste facility may not be suitable given characteristics of the
environment.
1.2 IDENTIFY THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PLAN
The person responsible for updating the Solid Waste Management Plan is:

1.3 OVERVIEW OF THE AREA COVERED IN THE PLAN
1.3.1 PLANNING AREA
The Tybee Island Solid Waste Management Plan encompasses all areas within the corporate limits of the City of Tybee
Island. The City of Tybee Island, Georgia, is on the outermost barrier island off the Savannah area coast approximately
18 miles from downtown Savannah. Situated at an elevation of 10’+/‐ above sea level, the City covers approximately
3.2 square miles or 2,061 acres which is less than 1% of the land in Chatham County. Table 1 provides a comparison of
the size of each City and unincorporated Chatham County.
1.3.2 TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION/UNIQUE FEATURES
As a barrier island, Tybee Island has a unique and wide array of natural resources. The beach, dune and marsh
ecosystems are complex, intricately interconnected, and provide important habitat for many species of birds and
animals. The coastal marshlands are home to many species of wading birds including herons, egrets, ibis, and storks
as well as small mammals and reptiles, such as the Diamond Back Terrapin. Coastal marshlands and beaches account
for a significant percentage of the total land area on the island. Collectively, these resources represent 38% of the City
area with the wetlands totaling 3,500 acres and beaches 260 acres. There are approximately 30 miles of streams and
waterways in the City. These features add to the diverse habitat present in the community. The entire City of Tybee
Island falls within the FEMA 100‐year flood zone.
Tybee Island has been extensively developed and much of the original natural habitat is gone. While canopy trees
have been preserved in many locations, the understory that is a critical component of the ecosystem has been
removed. Fortunately, some of the original maritime forest remains on Tybee. The City has established several
conservation easements to protect the remaining maritime forest while also making it accessible to the public for
education and passive recreation. These easements include the Sally Pearce Nature Trail and Blue Heron Park. The
Rosewood Painted Bunting Preserve is a mixed habitat of pine and wax myrtle adjacent to the dune system.

1.3.3 POPULATION
Due to the City’s popularity as a vacation destination, the population of the City of Tybee Island varies widely with the
seasons. The city’s full time population is projected to steadily increase from 3,563 to approximately 4,346 by 2020.
In an effort to provide a solid database from which to plan for solid waste management, the City of Tybee Island has
developed a detailed and accurate population estimate utilizing the 2000 US Census Bureau information provided by
the Department of Community Affairs and the City’s Certificates of Occupancy for new residential units.
Table 2 shows the historic population trends for Tybee Island as well as future projections.

Source: Georgia Department of Community Affairs (www.georgiaplanning.com)
Population figures for 1980 through 2000 were gathered from the 2000 US Census Bureau information. In order to
accurately estimate Tybee Island’s population in 2005, the number of residential COs issued between 2001 and 2005
was multiplied by the average household size as established by the 2000 US Census Bureau. The total number of
residential units issued COs on Tybee Island during that timeframe was 95. In order to account for those new
residential units that would primarily be used for vacation rentals (and would therefore not add to the additional
year‐round population count), this number was reduced by 27% (in accordance with the current percentage of
residential units used for vacation rentals) to 69 new residential units. This number was multiplied by the average
household size (2.07) to determine the population growth between 2001 and 2005. Based on this methodology, the
City’s population increase between 2001 and 2005 was 144 people or 4.25%.
To estimate the population growth between 2005 and 2010, a similar methodology was utilized. The number of
residential units issued COs in 2006 was 96. Based on the average number of new residential units issued COs
between 2001 and 2006, it was further assumed that approximately 100 additional residential units would be
constructed between 2007 and 2010. Assuming that the same percentage of units is inhabited by year‐round
residents and that the average household size would remain the same, this would equate to a population growth of
296 from 2005 to 2010.
To estimate the population growth from 2010 through 2030, it was assumed that the growth rate would decrease due
to the limited amount of developable land remaining on Tybee Island. The rate of decrease in the population growth
percentage was estimated to be approximately equal to the rate of decrease observed in population growth between
1980 and 2000.
1.3.3.1 SEASONAL POPULATION VARIATION
The City of Tybee Island is unique in that the population changes drastically with the seasons. As a beach vacation
destination, the population begins to swell in late spring and peaks during the summer months. All planning
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 45 of 129
decisions, including solid waste management, are made based on peak population numbers to ensure that residents
and visitors are adequately served. As part of the Master Plan, an inventory of seasonal rental properties was
conducted. The inventory revealed that of the approximately 3,091 residential properties in the city, 852 are rental
units. This accounts for nearly 27% of the total amount of residential property on the island. When all rental units are
full the Master Plan estimates that the population of the island increases by approximately 2,702 to 6,238. This is a
73% increase over the full‐time population of 3,536. This population increase only accounts for overnight visitors and
does not include estimates for the number of “day trippers” or visitors who come for the day but do not spend the
night. City staff, including the Public Works, the Police and Fire Departments estimate that the population of the City
can swell to as many as 39,000 on a holiday weekend such as Fourth of July.

1.3.3.2 NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS
The number of people that make up the typical “household” in Chatham County and Tybee Island has followed a
national trend toward smaller households as people are having fewer children, the population is aging, and the
number of persons living alone has increased as reflected in Table 4.

II. WASTE DISPOSAL STREAM ANALYSIS
At the time that preparation for this document began there was no characterization study or waste disposal stream
analysis for the City. The information contained in this section was compiled from a variety of sources both external
and internal to the City.
2.1 INVENTORY OF WASTE DISPOSED
Table 6 below estimates the total amount of waste disposed of by sector for the City of Tybee Island. Using data from
the Georgia Statewide Solid Waste Management Plan for 2005, the estimated tonnage for Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW) and Construction and Demolition (C&D) for the City of Tybee Island was extrapolated.
Though the population of Tybee Island fluctuates with the seasons, to date there has not been a need for special
services during the summer peaks. Residential trash is collected twice weekly and recycling is collected weekly. This
schedule accommodates residents and visitors.

2.1.1 WASTE CHARACTERIZATION
The Georgia Statewide Waste Characterization Study conducted by R.W. Beck for the Department of Community
Affairs in 2005 breaks down the percentages by type of material disposed of in a MSW landfill for the area covered by
the Coastal Georgia Regional Development Center (CGRDC). The CGRDC serves a ten county area including: Bryan,
Bulloch, Camden, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, and Screven Counties. The data included in the
DCA Study were generalized and used to calculate the estimated tons per year for Tybee Island as reflected in Table 8

2.1.2 WASTE GENERATING DISASTER
A major disaster has the potential to result in significant increase in the amount of waste handled by the City;
however, it is difficult to predict how much waste would be generated should such a disaster occur. The types of
disasters most likely to occur in Tybee Island are hurricanes, tornadoes, and major rain events accompanied by high
winds. The City’s Emergency Management Plan includes a contract with Phillips & Jordan, Inc. for disaster debris
management. The procedures for collection and disposal of waste resulting from disaster are addressed later in the
report.
2.2 DISPOSAL RATE
Table 7 below compares the estimated disposal rate for Tybee Island to that of the State of Georgia. The City of Tybee
Island disposal rate was calculated by comparing statewide trends to Chatham County disposal rates. The disposal
rate for Georgia is 6.39 pounds per person per day according to the State Solid Waste Management Plan. Lacking a
better account for disposal patterns in Chatham County, the City of Tybee Island has opted to use this number as the
basis for waste stream analysis. The adjusted annual tonnage was multiplied by 2,000 to convert the tonnage to
pounds. The resulting number was then divided by the statewide population and then by 365 to determine the per
capita (pounds per day per person) number of 6.39. Annual tonnage rates were calculated using the population
numbers for Tybee Island and the per capita rate.
The City believes the statewide per capita number is consistent with the regional trends and is a good number to use
for the basis of the Waste Projections in this report. It should be noted that the table below is based on 2005
population estimates as found in the City’s Master Plan.

All solid waste collected in Tybee Island is transported out of the city. For most of 2008, waste was taken to the
Superior Landfill on Wilmington Island, Chatham County, Georgia. For the last two and a half months of 2008 and
moving forward, waste was hauled to the Broadhurst Landfill in Screven, Georgia. For the twelve month period
ending December 2008, the total amount of solid waste collected and transported from Tybee Island was 4,124 tons.
With the implementation of the City of Tybee Island’s contract with Waste Pro, and as the assurance letter
demonstrates, the appropriate designate landfill is now Broadhurst Landfill in Screven, Georgia.
2.3 PROJECTED WASTE TO BE DISPOSED
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 50 of 129
City of Tybee Island Solid Waste Management Plan
Page | 9
The City of Tybee Island has established a goal of reducing waste by at least 10% for the next ten years. While a
quantitative number of 10% is being used as the reduction goal, the focus of reduction efforts during the planning
period will include education and community initiatives focusing on curbside recycling, commercial recycling, dry
trash, oyster shell recycling, etc.
The estimated annual tonnage rate (6.39 pounds per person per day) was used to project the total tonnage of waste to
be disposed of over the ten‐year planning period based on population projections included in the City’s Master Plan.
The City plans on attaining the goal of 10% reduction waste by reducing the total waste disposed of per capita by at
least 1% per year, or 0.064 pounds per person per day. The projected tonnage based on this goal is shown in the table
below. It is estimated that 48, 583 tons of waste will be disposed of in MSW landfills over the next ten years.

III. WASTE REDUCTION ELEMENT
INVENTORY & ASSESSMENT OF WASTE REDUCTION PROGRAMS
3.1 SOURCE REDUCTION PROGRAMS
Source reduction refers to the actions and programs a jurisdiction has in place to reduce the amount of waste
generated by the consumer. The City of Tybee Island encourages source reduction by producing informational
material distributed to residents through the City’s web site (www.cityoftybee.org) and public access channel
(Comcast Channel 7). The City’s Master Plan also promotes historic preservation initiatives which would reuse
building materials rather than sending them to a landfill
3.1.1 RECYCLING
The City of Tybee Island currently utilizes our third party MSW collector, WastePro, to implement a once per week
curbside recycling program which collects paper, glass, aluminum, steel/tin, newspapers, cardboard, and plastics.
There is a flyer found on the City of Tybee Island website, www.cityoftybee.org, and included as an Appendix in this
Plan, that states the materials collected, preparation of such materials, and a list of those goods in each category not to
be recycled as they are deemed unacceptable.
3.1.2 RECYCLING FACILITIES
The City of Tybee Island currently utilizes our third party MSW collector, WastePro, to implement a once per week
curbside recycling program which collects paper, glass, aluminum, steel/tin, newspapers, cardboard, and plastics. The
materials are collected and transported to WastePro’s recycling facilities off of Tybee Island. The Department of
Public Works does house a recycling drop‐off location at their Polk Street facility where bins are provided for
aluminum, cardboard, newspapers, and a separate staged area for large metal items such as household appliances.
This facility is operated under the normal working hours of the Department of Public Works. The City of Tybee Island
does not handle nor have any program that handles the disposal of such items as household hazardous waste, lead
acid batteries, tires, and white goods. There are locations within Chatham County where the items can be taken but at
the current time there are no facilities on Tybee Island where they may be taken.
3.1.3 YARD TRIMMING PROGRAMS & FACILITIES
The City of Tybee Island, through WastPro, conducts curbside collection of yard trimmings on a monthly basis. Yard
trimmings including grass clippings, leaves, shrubs, brush, tree trimmings, palm fronds and other trash generated
from general yard maintenance performed by homeowners is collected. Dry trash is taken to the City’s Public Works
complex where it is chipped into mulch. In addition, there is a also a dry trash dumpster located that the Public Works
facility at Polk Street where residents can take their yard trimmings.
3.1.4 ITEMS REQUIRING SPECIAL HANDLING
The City of Tybee Island currently does not have a formal program for the recycling of special materials. However, the
City collects and properly disposes of items such as tires and liquids that are illegally dumped in the City. The City
coordinates with the City of Savannah to promote the annual E‐recycling program and “The Great Tire Roundup”.
Residents may also call WastePro to request a special collection of those materials not picked up as part of routine
waste collection such as appliances and furniture type items.
With the exception of the items listed above, the City of Tybee Island does not handle nor have any program that
handles the disposal of such items as household hazardous waste, lead acid batteries, tires, and white goods.
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 53 of 129
3.2 WASTE GENERATING DISASTER
A major disaster has the potential to result in significant increase in the amount of waste handled by the City;
however, it is difficult to predict how much waste would be generated should such a disaster occur. The types of
disasters most likely to occur in Tybee Island are hurricanes, tornadoes, and major rain events accompanied by high
winds. The City of Tybee Island has a contract with Phillips & Jordan, Inc. for disaster debris management. The
procedures for collection and disposal of waste resulting from disaster include storage of the waste at a site
designated by the Department of Public Works and will encompass use of the parks and recreation areas within the
City to store the debris materials and allow clean up efforts to begin.
In the event of any sort of disaster affecting Tybee Island, the City will await the go ahead from the Chatham County
Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) before personnel are allowed to reenter the Island. The amount of time
before reentry is permitted will depend on the type of disaster and extent of the damage. As access is limited to one
road entering and exiting the Island, it is anticipated that a quick response to waste would be critical.
3.3 ASSESMENT OF CURRENT WASTE REDUCTION & RECYCLING PROGRAMS
The City of Tybee Island has an aggressive and pro‐active recycling program. Recycling bins are provided to every
residence for curbside pick‐up. In October 2008, the City changed waste providers from Waste Management to
WastePro. This change made it possible for corrugated cardboard to be collected as part of curbside recycling.
WastePro recycling bins are provided to departments in City Hall, allowing the City to lead by example with daily
recycling.
The City provides a recycling facility at the Department of Public Works that accepts aluminum, glass, cardboard,
plastic, dry trash, and oyster shells.
The City also provides recycling bins to every City department, accompanying trash cans on the beach, in all public
parks, at every public beach access point, and for special events in the city.
The City is exploring the possibility of providing glass and cardboard recycling to businesses. The City would collect
the glass at centralized collection points in the business districts and haul it to the Public Works complex. Public
Works would then crush the glass for use in city infrastructure projects.
3.4 NEEDS AND GOALS
In order to meet the goal of reducing waste generation by at least 10% the following steps should be considered and
implemented:
GOAL: To meet a waste reduction goal of 10%
Strategy 1: Public Works should continue to pursue a glass recycling program.
Strategy 2: Develop a program to recycle corrugate cardboard from commercial users.
Strategy 3: Establish a recognition program for businesses that recycle to further encourage participation
in the recycling program.
Strategy 4: Continue and expand waste reduction education campaigns.
Strategy 5: Educate residents and visitors about curbside recycling and composting.
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 54 of 129
IV. WASTE COLLECTION ELEMENT
4.1 INVENTORY OF COLLECTION
4.1.1 INVENTORY OF EXISTING PROGRAMS
The City of Tybee Island provides curbside collection services to all residents within the City. This service is provided
through a private contractor, WastePro, with pick‐up twice per week for household garbage and once per week for
recycling and dry trash. Waste collection fees are included on resident water bills.
Tybee Island currently contracts with WastePro for all residential curbside collection services. Once collected,
residential solid waste is hauled to the Broadhurst Landfill in Screven, Georgia and single‐stream recyclables are
hauled to the Pratt MRF in Savannah.
C&D waste collection is handled by each business or developer as needed. A business or developer contracts directly
with a waste hauler for service or to haul waste directly to a landfill themselves. The City of Tybee Island passed an
ordinance in 2006 which requires that all dumpsters be covered at the end of business every day. This is in an effort
to prevent trash and debris from blowing out of the dumpster and becoming litter.
4.1.2 CONTINGENCY STRATEGY
In the event that service is interrupted, the residents will be notified as soon as possible through various channels that
include knocking on doors by DPW staff, flyers, through the City of Tybee website, and through the various social
networking sites utilized by the City for government information. With the potential of a pending interruption in
service, the Department of Public Works would use a 2009 Ford F‐550 front end loader with 6 cubic foot base to
handle the collection of MSW during the period of service interruption
Additionally, the City of Tybee Island Department of Public Works will stage sites around the City to store debris in
the event that service is interrupted from the Island and cannot get the materials to the landfill. The staging areas will
be determined by DPW and will go in to effect immediately upon the disruption of service. The most likely locations
for such areas are going to be the public parks located throughout the Island.
4.2 ASSESSMENT OF COLLECTION PROGRAMS
Residents of Tybee Island may also choose to deliver solid waste to the City’s Public Works facility. Public Works will
accept household trash, dry trash, and recycling from City residents. The Public Works facility is served by WastePro
under the contract that also provides service to residential customers and is subsidized by the City.
In July 2008, the City installed two compactors in the South End Business District to help manage commercial waste
and make the district more inviting for residents and visitors by removing roll‐out containers from sidewalks along
Tybrisa, portions of The Strand, and portions of Butler Avenue. Compactors are located at the following locations:
‐ One 30‐yard compactor is located in the City right‐of‐way on Lovell Avenue between Sixteenth Street and
Inlet; and
‐ A 10‐yard compactor is located in the City right‐of‐way at on Atlantic Street just east of Butler Avenue.
Compactor use is charged as part of utility billing. The compactors are served under a contract with Republic Waste
Services. During the off‐season, October through March, the compactors may only be pulled once per month. At the
height of the summer season the compactors are pulled at least weekly. The compactors are monitored by the
Department of Public Works and a pull can be scheduled at any time as circumstances warrant.
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 55 of 129
4.2.1 YARD TRIMMINGS & BULK ITEM COLLECTION
The City of Tybee Island collects yard trimmings as part of the regular curbside collection program. Dry trash is
considered as any item normally accumulated in the care and maintenance of a residence including, but not limited to,
yard trimmings, leaves, paper, cardboard, wood, metal, and rubber. Leaves, yard clippings, paper, straw, and loose
yard care items can be placed in water tight bags or other suitable containers which, when full, do not exceed fifty
(50) pounds in weight. Paper recycling bags may be used if they are kept dry until pick‐up. Heavy brush and tree
branches no longer than three feet in length and six inches in diameter and consisting of a pile of no larger than five
cubic yards will also be collected. In the event that a resident has piles lager than specified above, they may contact
WastePro and establish a special pick‐up.
Yard waste picked up by WastePro is taken to Green Space, Inc. in Ridgeland, South Carolina. Yard waste taken to the
Public Works facility is chipped and turned into mulch. Mulch is used for City projects and is available for free to
residents.
Bulk items may be delivered to the City’s Public Works facility or a resident can call WastePro and request a special
pick‐up of bulk items such as appliances.
4.3 ILLEGAL DUMPING / LITTERING
Illegal dumping, particularly construction debris, and littering are a challenge for the City of Tybee Island. The City
works to track and clean‐up sites where illegal dumping has occurred.
Littering is a challenge in the South End Business District and on the beach. Of particular concern is the number of
cigarette butts dropped in flower beds and on the beach. There have also been concerns for the clean‐up of dog feces
around the Island and the city has implanted, under City Code 10‐27, that not cleaning up after your dog is illegal
littering. The Tybee Beautification Association, a non‐profit community group, coordinates 3 beach sweeps each year.
The group also participates in “Adopt‐a‐Highway” clean‐ups along Highway 80 four (4) times per year. In years past,
they have conducted litter surveys. Their most recent anti‐litter campaign is a life‐size puppet rapper named “Mr. Naz
T. Butt.” The character’s efforts include visits to various schools and events in the Chatham County area, a video which
debuted first on the City of Tybee's local cable access channel, and a coloring book which can be downloaded from the
Association web site.
4.4 NEEDS AND GOALS
It appears that the City of Tybee Island is currently serviced with enough capacity in terms of haulers to cover the
island at 100% for the next ten years. The City intends to study and implement additional methods of encouraging and
assisting local businesses to reuse and recycle applicable waste components including (Please refer to the
Implementation Strategy for further details):
Goal: As a publicprivate partnership, work with the business community to create a business
recycling program that would aid in the overall waste reduction for the City’s goal of 10%
Strategy 1: Work with Waste haulers to ensure that trash collection maintains reliability.
Strategy 2: Ensure that the area South End Business District compactors are kept clean.
Strategy 3: Require all waste contracted by the City report quantities hauled.
Strategy 4: Consider expanding the recycling facility to include room for composting.
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 56 of 129
Strategy 5: Work with the businesses to assist in the distribution of educational materials on the
recycling capabilities that are available on the Island.
V. WASTE DISPOSAL ELEMENT
5.1 INVENTORY OF SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITIES
5.1.1 ASSURANCE OF 10YEAR CAPACITY
MSW collected in the City of Tybee Island by WastePro is transported to the Broadhurst Landfill in Screven, Georgia.
The facility is privately owned and operated. The Broadhurst landfill allows disposal of all municipal solid waste
created within the City of Tybee Island. The Broadhurst Landfill has assured the City of Tybee Island that they have
the capacity to dispose of the amount of waste anticipated (48,583 tons) to be disposed of by the City of Tybee Island
through the year 2018. All materials, with the exception of those that are deemed to be hazardous in nature, will be
disposed of at the Broadhurst Landfill, located in Screven, Georgia. The Landfill Capacity Assurance letter from
Broadhurst Landfill is included in the Appendix.
5.1.2 CONTINGENCY STRATEGY/HAZARD DEBRIS MANAGEMENT
As stated in the collection element, the City’s Emergency Management Plan, which can be found at
http://www.cityoftybee.org/EmergencyMgmt.aspx, includes a contract with Phillips & Jordan for debris removal and
disposal in the event of a disaster. The agreement includes arrangements for:
‐ clearing debris from public roads, rights‐of way, and easements;
‐ temporary debris management;
‐ and internal checks to account for the amount of debris removed from the city.
Additionally, the City of Tybee Island Department of Public Works will stage sites around the City to store debris in
the event that service is interrupted from the Island and cannot get the materials to the landfill. The staging areas will
be determined by DPW and will go in to effect immediately upon the disruption of service. The most likely locations
for such areas are going to be the public parks located throughout the Island in the event that capacity is reached at
the Public Works facility.
5.2 NEEDS AND GOALS
Goal: Continue to ensure that the City has a plan in place to ensure that sufficient disposal capacity is
available to handle the projected tonnage of MSW over the planning period from 20082018.
Strategy 1: Develop a contingency plan of alternate landfill sites in order to dispose of the City’s solid waste
materials.
Strategy 2: Work with WastePro, or the designated City waste contractor, to annually monitor the capacity
levels for the Broadhurst Landfill.
Strategy 3: Coordinate with the businesses that could possibly generate or store hazardous waste and the Fire
Department to maintain an inventory that is updated annually.
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 57 of 129
VI. LAND LIMITATIONS ELEMENT
When evaluating sites for landfills or waste handling facilities local governments must review and analyze many
different issues. As previously discussed, Tybee Island is a barrier island with a unique and fragile environment. This
unique environment severely limits the kind of development that can occur on the island. There is very little vacant
land that is suitable for development. The amount of land available for any type of recycling, recovery, composting or
solid waste disposal facilities is even more limited. A map demonstrating the land use limitations is shown in the
Appendix .
6.1 NATURAL & ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS
This section outlines some of the rules and regulations regarding siting a solid waste facility for location within a city.
6.1.1 Water Supply Watersheds
“DNR Rule 391316.01(7)(c)1 requires that at any location within a small water supply watershed, new solid waste
landfills must have synthetic liners and leachate collection systems.”
Tybee Island does not fall within the boundaries of a water supply watershed.
6.1.2 Groundwater Recharge Areas
“DNR Rule 391316.02(3)(a) requires that in significant groundwater recharge areas, DNR shall not issue permits for
new solid waste landfills not having synthetic liners and leachate collection systems.”
Tybee Island does not fall within the boundaries of any groundwater recharge areas.
6.1.3 Wetlands
“DNR Rule 391316.03(3)(e) establishes that solid waste landfills may constitute an unacceptable use of a wetland.”
“DNR Rule 39134.05(1)(e) prohibits the development of solid waste landfills in wetlands, as defined by the U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers, unless evidence is provided by the applicant to EPD that use of such wetlands has been permitted or
otherwise authorized under all other applicable state and federal laws and rules.”
The City of Tybee Island contains roughly 3,500 acres of wetlands, which accounts for nearly 38% of the total
land area in the City. Applicable DNR rules will be referenced and applicants will be required to obtain a
Section 404 Permit prior to getting a Land Disturbance Permit.
6.1.4 River Corridors
“DNR Rule 391316.04(4)(h) prohibits the development of new solid waste landfills within protected river corridors.”
Tybee Island does not contain, nor does it fall within the buffer of any protected river corridors.
6.1.5 Protected Mountains
“DNR Rule 391316.05(4)(l) prohibits the development of new solid waste landfills in areas designated as protected
mountains.”
There are no protected mountains in the City of Tybee Island.
6.1.6 Floodplains
“DNR Rule 39134.05(1)(d) stipulates that any solid waste landfill located in the 100year floodplain shall not restrict
the flow of the 100year flood, reduce the temporary water storage capacity of the floodplain, or result in a washout of
solid waste so as to pose a threat to human health or the environment.”
The entire City of Tybee Island is within the 100‐year floodplain; therefore, applicants seeking to develop a
landfill or solid waste handling facility are required to obtain a Section 404 Permit prior to receiving a Land
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 58 of 129
Disturbance Permit.
6.1.7 Fault Zones, Seismic Impact Zones & Unstable Areas
“DNR Rule 39134.05(1)(f) focuses on fault areas and requires that new landfill units and lateral expansions of existing
landfills not be located within 200 feet of a fault that has had a displacement in Holocene time, unless an alternative
setback distance of less than 200 feet will prevent damage to the structural integrity of the landfill and will protect
human health and the environment.” “DNR Rule 39134.05(1)(g) prohibits the development of new landfills and lateral
expansions of existing landfills in seismic impact zones, unless all landfill containment structures, including existing
landfill liners, leachate collection systems, and surface water control systems, are designed to resist the maximum
horizontal acceleration in lithified earth material for the site.” “DNR Rule 39134.05(1)(h), existing landfills and lateral
expansions of existing landfills located in an unstable area must demonstrate that engineering measures have been
incorporated into the landfill’s design to ensure that the integrity of the structural components of the landfill will not be
compromised.”
An engineer (P.E.) or registered geologist is required to conduct a hydro‐geological assessment at the
proposed location of any new solid waste disposal facility. The potential for problems to result from
development on fault zones, areas susceptible to seismic activity, and unstable ground are evaluated as part
of this assessment. The DNR rules for each of these items are listed above.
6.1.8 Significant Groundwater Recharge Areas
“DNR Rule 39134.05(1)(j) requires new solid waste landfills or expansions of existing facilities within two miles of a
significant groundwater recharge areas to have liners and leachate collection systems, with the exception of facilities
accepting waste generated from outside the county in which the facility is located. In that case, the facility must be totally
outside of any area designated as a significant groundwater recharge area.”
The City of Tybee Island does not fall within the boundaries of any significant groundwater recharge areas.
6.2 LAND USE & ZONING LIMITATIONS
6.2.1 Zoning Restrictions
“DNR Rule 39134.05(1)(a) requires that the site must conform to all local zoning/land use ordinances, and that written
verification of such be submitted to EPD.”
The City of Tybee Island Land Development Code does not make provision for landfills or waste handling facilities.
Developers seeking to develop such a facility may make application to the city seeking special review or a variance as
may be appropriate. As there are no specific provisions for landfills, one must consider that under the current City
ordinances, there are no suitable locations for the location of any potential landfills within its boundaries.
6.2.2 National Historic Sites
Tybee Island has three districts and five individual properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The
potential impact of a landfill or waste handling facility on these resources should be carefully considered when siting
such facilities.
6.2.3 Airport Safety
“DNR Rule 39134.05(1)(c) requires that new solid waste landfill units or lateral expansions of existing units shall not
be within 10,000 feet of any public use or private use airport runway end used by turbojet aircraft or within 5,000 feet of
any public use or private use airport runway end used by only piston type aircraft.”
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 59 of 129
The City of Tybee Island is not within 5,000 feet of any airport.
6.2.4 Political Subdivisions
According to the Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act, it is prohibited to develop an MSW landfill
within one‐half mile of an adjacent county’s border without the approval of the governing authority. Tybee Island is
located less than one‐half mile from the state border with South Carolina.
6.2.5 Plan Consistency
Before the Georgia Environmental Protection Division will issue a permit for a new solid waste handling facility or
facility expansion the applicant must demonstrate that the proposed action is consistent with the Solid Waste
Management Plan. The City of Tybee Island will also review the proposed action for consistency with the community
vision stated in the Master Plan. It will be the responsibility of the site owner/operator to submit a written document
to the City at least 60 days prior to filing for a solid waste handling permit that addresses how the proposed facility
meets the goals and objectives identified in the Solid Waste Management Plan and the impact the facility will have on
the community. Following is an outline of points of consideration when reviewing applications for solid waste
handling facilities:
1. Any proposed facility shall meet the specific goals identified in the Solid Waste Management Plan, specifically
the impact on collection, disposal, and existing reduction and recycling efforts in the City.
2. Any proposed facility and its operations plan shall minimize its impact on the community in the following areas:
a. The impact to vehicle traffic and public safety around the proposed facility and throughout the
City shall not reduce the level of service by more than one letter for all roadways and intersections
within 2,000 feet (without improvements).
b. The impact of the facility to natural and cultural resources in the City not already covered shall be
minimized to the greatest extent practicable.
c. The impact to residential and commercial solid waste management rates shall not cause an
increase in collection or disposal rates.
3. Any proposed facility shall provide financial assurance to address potential environmental issues.
4. Any proposed facility shall meet the geographic site limitations defined in this Solid Waste Management Plan.
5. Any proposed facility shall be an allowable use based on existing zoning.
The City Council will hold at least one public hearing on the proposed facility to get feedback from City residents.
Based on the results of the initial public hearing, City Council can decide whether additional public meetings are
necessary. Following the public meeting(s), the City Council will evaluate the proposed facility and all related
documentation for consistency with the Solid Waste Management Plan and goals established in the Master Plan. The
applicant will be notified within 30 days regarding the status of the review. The City Council will either determine
that the proposed facility is consistent with the Solid Waste Management Plan or document any inconsistencies. The
applicant will have the opportunity to address any inconsistencies and resubmit the application to City Council for
review. Once a proposed facility is considered acceptable by the City, the Council will issue a letter to the applicant
stating the facility is consistent with the Solid Waste Management Plan.
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 60 of 129
6.2.6 NEEDS AND GOALS
As Tybee Island is a location that is small in geographic nature and developed on the verge of maximum load, there
are physical land limitations in themselves given the lack of available and buildable land. Given that there is limited
space on the Island for siting of any type of waste facility, whether landfill, recycling, or an inert landfill, the goal for
this section needs to be specific.
Goal: To ensure that the possibility for the siting of any sort of waste handling facility on Tybee Island be
consistent with state and local solid waste management plans, as well as any other regulatory requirements.
Strategy 1: Adhere to any applicable character area design guidelines consistent with the City’s Master Plan.
Strategy 2: Review and amend the Land Development Code in order to maintain uniformity with the Master Plan
and the Solid Waste Management Plan.
Strategy 3: Implement, if necessary, the Plan Consistency Process of the Tybee Island Solid Waste Management
Plan.
Strategy 4: Continue to protect all environmentally sensitive areas of Tybee Island.
CouncilPacket04/22/10 Page 61 of 129
VII. PUBLIC EDUCATION & INVOLVEMENT ELEMENT
7.1 INVENTORY & ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION AND INVOLVEMENT
The City of Tybee Island has been pro‐active in educating residents and visitors about the importance of recycling.
Following is a sampling of recent public education and involvement initiatives:
‐ “Know the Connection” Public Service Announcements on Channel 7
‐ Naz‐T‐Butt Public Service Announcements from Tybee Beautification Association on Channel 7 and
appearances at a variety of community events
‐ Tybee Island utilizes a public‐private partnership with the Tybee Beautification Association to aid in the
sponsorship of Clean Sweep programs and events that focus on clean up of Tybee’s roads and
thoroughfares.
‐ Christmas Tree recycling at the Public Works facility
‐ The City provides recycling containers to special events and festivals at no charge.
‐ Adopt‐A‐Road Program.
‐ Adopt‐A‐Wetlands Program
7.2 NEEDS AND GOALS
As the primary goal for the Solid Waste Management Plan is reduce the overall waste by 10%, the education of the
public becomes a critical need for its overall success. With that in mind the goal for this section is:
Goal: Provide the public, both residents and businesses, with more information so that they become aware of the
need and support the local waste reduction efforts.
Strategy 1: Promote, via links on the City’s Website (www.cityoftybee.org), recycling practices for the Island.
Strategy 2: Promote the prevention of litter through slogans located on future implementation of wayfinding
signs.
Strategy 3: Prepare information to include along with the monthly water bill mailings from the City.
Strategy 4: Educate the public on the importance of recycling and composting.
Strategy 5: Engage the homeowner’s associations on the Island about the importance of recycling and
composting within their neighborhoods.
