3. COLLECTION • Percentage of collection for the county as a whole? For each city? • Look at a new way to collect municipal solid waste? Private hauler to permit hauler? Franchise the area collection? Continue municipally owned and operated system? • Universal collection to mandatory door-to-door?

4. DISPOSAL • Need ten year capacity assurance for disposal of waste. • Review tons disposed from county year to year. Has it increased? Increase due to higher collection percentage? • Reduce amount of waste disposed in landfills to maintain or cut dollars spent by consumer.

5. RECYCLING/REDUCTION • What markets are available for the recyclables in my area? • Consider siting of recycling center. • Take the time to visit neighboring counties. • The Ky. Pride Fund has grants to build recycling infrastructure. • Work with schools and local and state offices to increase recycling tonnage.

SITING • Counties use a siting ordinance or siting procedures in place of planning and zoning. • May include permission from governing body prior to the establishment of a solid waste management facility – can include anything from a contained landfill to a transfer station to a recycling center to a < or > 1 acre Construction Demolition Debris landfill. • KRS 68.178 allows a governing body to assess a fee to be paid to the county.

8. Enforcement • Meet with advisory committee to review ordinance to ensure each component of the plan has a procedure to follow as necessary to retain/encourage compliance. • A tiered approach to enforcement is preferable. • Encourage a community approach – talk with various clubs, police, neighborhood watch groups to plan a positive approach.
