January, 1976. The purpose of this document is to serve as the solid waste ' management plan for the City of Jefferson as required by the ; Missouri Department of Natural Resources. 1. A solid waste system is available to every resident and business within the boundaries of the City of Jefferson, j This service is provided through a contract between the City and Dispose-All Service, Inc, (See Exhibit A and ! Exhibit B) , The existing method of disposal is the sanitary landfill method. It is anticipated that at least a portion of the f waste will be disposed of in this manner for the next ten (10) years. However, the City will continually examine the new technologies developed through the years to determine the r feasibility of resource recovery as opposed to disposal, i ff it tp I� 1� 439. _.-Regular—Caurail. -Me-eting,,.,--Februar-y.--2.,.-19.76-.--.--.---- ---------- The City, through the leadership of the Mid-Missouri It Council of Governments, has met with officials of Union Electric to discuss the "Trash to Kilowatts" project in the St. Louis area. At the present, this method of resource of energy appears to afford the most promise. Further study must ;'; be made to determine the feasibility of utilizing the Union Electric plant at Labadie or possibly initiating a cooperative venture with other central Missouri communities within our own ,, geographic area. The private firm contracting with the City presently supplies the sanitary landfill for Jefferson City solid waste. ,' Their existing landfill will last from two (2) to four (4) years, depending upon the design used in the remaining areas ' Resolution to be filled. The private firm is presently searching for a Solid new location which will undoubtedly extend through the ten Waste (10) year period. The percentage of dwelling units presently partici ating in the collection and disposal system is approximately M. The percentage of businesses and industries using the service provided by Dispose-All Service (DAS) and Central Missouri Junk; Company is approximately 95%. An additional percentage of residents and businesses haul directly to the transfer station located on Dix Road or to the sanitary landfill facilities which are State approved. 2. Open dumps are not permitted. (See Exhibit Q . Dispose-All Service, Inc. , has a permit from the Department of Natural Resources . 3. Service is presently provided to all areas of the City. (See Exhibits A, B and C) . 4. All areas of the City will be served regardless of natural growth or annexation. The volume of trash and the population have both continued to increase in the Cit y, however, the increases propose no insurmountable problems . 5. Dispose-All Service, Inc . , has a disposal permit and utilizes enclosed vehicles to minimize littering of the land and unsightliness. Open burning is controlled by Ordinance #8320. (See Exhibit C) . An annual "City clean-up" of bulky rubbish is provided to the residents of the City. 6. Two methods of twice weekly residential service are cgovidedl plastic bags at the curb and trash cans from the backyard. The curbside bag service is paid by individuals purchasing the!' bags in desired quantities directly from the private contractor The current charge is 36F per bag of which 30G is retained by :1 the contractor for collecting and disposing of the solid waste'!,! contained therein. Six cents (6�) is paid to the City by the contractor for the City to purchase the bags themselves. If the current bag price is over six cents (6�) , then the City subsidizes the bag purchases from other revenue sources. Seventy-five (75%) per cent of the contractors customers use this type of service. The charge for the twice weekly can service from behind the household is $4.80 per month, which ii is billed by the Contractor. TRANSFER STATION FEES $1 .50 Cars ; $5.00 Pickups SANITARY LANDFILL FEES $1.00 Cars ; $ 2.50 Pickups Larger trucks - $5 .00 and up 7.
