<br />Regular Meeting March 7, 1990 Page 3
<br />Mr. Moore moved for approval of the Ordinance on first reading
<br />and Ms. Kissler seconded the motion. Mr. Gilley advised the
<br />Council the City is paying for the increase from the Landfill
<br />Account with no increase to the citizens during this fiscal year.
<br />Mike Mayer of BFI briefed the Council on two alternatives for
<br />residential recycling. (1) An 18-gallon plastic basket similar
<br />to a laundry basket at each residence to place recyclable items
<br />for once a week pickup, such as paper, glass, some plastic
<br />containers, including milk, juice and 2-liter soft drink
<br />containers, aluminum and tin. A separate BFI truck would
<br />collect the recyclable items, and this would be a costly method.
<br />(2) The blue-bag program would be blue bags made with special
<br />strength provided to the residences to place all recyclable items
<br />in and would be separated from other wastes at the landfill site.
<br />The only product not recyclable with the blue-bag program is
<br />glass, as it contaminates the paper. The cost of the bins would
<br />be approximately $2.50-$4.00 per home per month and $2.00 plus
<br />per home per month for the blue-bags. The reduction from the
<br />waste stream could be as much as 25%. Austin is experiencing a
<br />20-25% reduction. The blue-bag program is being implemented with
<br />100,000 residential customers outside the City limits of Houston,
<br />and BFI is contracting with Pittsburg to implement the blue-bag
<br />program. It was consensus of Council for BFI to provide figures
<br />for the Council's review. The Council voted unanimously for
<br />approval of the Ordinance on first reading.
<br />Mayor Morris introduced for consideration reconsideration of a
<br />Zoning Ordinance. The Council did not wish to reconsider the
<br />Ordinance. The caption of the Ordinance reads as follows:
