Financial Information
The Marshall County Solid Waste District and its facility (the Recycle Depot) are funded through a combination of a local
property tax, the sale of recycling commodities, some modest disposal fees, and grants. CAGIT funds were formerly used
to help reduce the tax burden; however the county’s fiscal body has elected to divert those funds for other needs.
Additionally, the State of Indiana has indefinitely suspended its recycling grants program. In 2010, the District’s tax rate
was $0.01 with a levy of $225,423.

Hazardous Waste
Hazardous Materials are collected, identified, sorted by hazard class, weighed, labeled, and further prepared for shipping.
Some testing may also be required for unknowns. Our hazardous materials contractor (New Genesis) is subsequently
contacted for recycling or ultimate disposal. In the past year the amount of HHW sent out for reuse exceeded the amount
of HHW sent out for disposal, resulting in a significant savings to the District. In 2010, the following hazardous wastes
were shipped for recycling or proper disposal:

 5,259 lbs. of paint

 2,069 lbs. of flammable liquids
 977 lbs. of poisons
 144 lbs. of hazardous aerosols
 241 lbs. of other hazardous waste (i.e. acids, bases, oxidizers, etc.)
 In 2010, 10,898 lbs. of hazardous wastes were reused through the swap shop program. This resulted in a
significant cost savings for the program.
 The Depot also recycled 1,253 lbs. of light ballasts (non-PCB) in 2010.

Automotive Waste
The Depot maintains a 400 gallon storage tank for used motor oil, as well as a 400 gallon tank for antifreeze. Oil filters are
collected in 55 gallon drums. These automotive wastes are collected for recycling by our contractor Safety Kleen. Safety
Kleen recycles the used motor oil into new motor oil, and pays the Recycle Depot $0.25 per gallon. On several occasions
we have diverted larger volumes of used motor oil to area automotive repair businesses who are seeking the oil for use as
furnace fuel. The following automotive wastes were shipped for recycling in 2010:

 7,863 lbs. of used motor oil

 1,163 lbs. of antifreeze
 586 lbs. of used oil filters

Electronic Waste
Electronic waste (aka e-waste) is the fastest growing portion of the waste stream and contains considerable amounts of
hazardous heavy metals and other pollutants. E-waste is recycled by our contractor (Electronic Recyclers International).
A great deal of care and effort are taken when evaluating electronics recycling vendors to make sure no portions of the
waste stream are being disposed of or shipped overseas. Both the Recycle Depot and ERI and registered as an official e-
waste collection site and recycler (respectively) for the state of Indiana.

Former student-used school computers are refurbished by our staff and distributed freely to municipalities, non-profits,
and Marshall County residents. We currently maintain a waiting list for customers wanting a refurbished computer
system. The following electronics were shipped in 2010:

 12,419 lbs. of PC desktops

 40,529 lbs. of TVs & monitors
 17,860 lbs. of mixed e-waste
 119 lbs. of other electronics
 86 PCs were refurbished and distributed
 Optical disc media was also collected and reused as teacher’s craft supplies

Biodiesel from cooking oil

The Recycle Depot has partnered with Howard County Recycling in collecting
waste cooking oil and converting it into a biofuel. The program also
significantly reduces the maintenance and repair costs on sewer and lift
stations caused by the build-up of fats, oils, and grease entering the sewer
and waste water treatment facilities.

In 2010, the Recycle Depot collected 140 lbs. of cooking oil for conversion to
biofuel.

12
Tires
Though we utilize a local vendor for tire recycling (Liberty Tire Recycling), we are also looking for higher end uses for
recycled tires. Currently some of the tires are retread or made into crumb rubber (mulch), many of the tires are shredded
and used for alternative daily cover at area landfills. In 2010 the following tires were collected for recycling:
 1,876 car tires
 111 semi tires
 9 tractor tires

Sharps and expired medications

Sharps (i.e. used syringes) are collected at several partner locations
(many area pharmacies) in addition to being collected at the Recycle
Depot. Our contractor Ampro collects the sharps for proper disposal at
a licensed medical waste incinerator. Ampro is also our contractor for
expired medication disposal. Marshall County TRIAD and Detective
Duane Culp of the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department aided us with
collection of controlled substances at the Health Fair / Senior Expo.

 553 lbs. of sharps

 442 lbs. of expired meds

Local recycling efforts as related to carbon dioxide emissions and climate change.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the WAste Reduction Model (WARM) to help solid
waste planners report greenhouse gas emission reductions from waste management practices. The WARM model is
based on a complete waste life-cycle analysis, which reflects emissions and avoided emissions upstream and downstream
from the point of use. As such, the emission factors provided in this model provide an account of the net benefit of these
actions to the environment.

Based on Marshall County recycling data using EPA’s WARM model, in 2010 local residential recycling efforts had a carbon
reduction equivalent to:

 Removing 852 passenger vehicles off the road, or

 Consuming 501,462 less gallons of gas, or
 Consuming 10,367 less barrels of oil, or
 Eliminating one year’s use of electricity in 541 homes.

A sustainability initiative has been in place ever since the opening of the Recycle Depot. As part of this initiative,
numerous energy conservation techniques are in practice, examples include:
 Use of on-demand water heaters
 Use of programmable thermostats set at conservative temperatures
 Use of energy efficient fluorescent, LED, and natural lighting where possible
 Use of occupancy sensors in key locations
 Use of automatic PC hibernation shareware (Snap CO2)
 Use of smart power strips to eliminate vampire electricity use
 Use of a Kill-A-Watt meter to assess efficiency of electrical devices in use at the Recycle Depot
 Use of a thermal leak detector to identify potential heating and cooling inefficiencies
 Energy strategic planting of deciduous trees around the office building
 In lieu of paper towels or hand dryers in the restroom we use cloth towels and take them home for washing.
 Use of 100% post-consumer waste office paper
 Use of bathroom tissue made from 80% post-consumer recycled paper.
 Use of add-on bidet to help clean under-sized sewer lateral and reduce need for bathroom tissue.

No-mow zones help Recycle Depot keep costs and carbon emissions low
The Recycle Depot only mows about 2 acres of lawn on its 6.7 acre parcel. Areas of the property that received little or no
use are designated as no-mow zones and allowed to grow as meadow. The no-mow zones help the Recycle Depot meet
several important goals:
 saves many hours of labor
 reduces expenses
 conserves fossils fuels
 zones serve as protective cover for wildlife
 reduces our carbon footprint

People enjoy the look and feel of a meadow. The Director hopes to expand the no-mow zones to other parts of the
property and eliminate invasive species of plant life including canary grass and Canadian thistle. No chemical herbicides
or pesticides have been used on the grounds of the Recycle Depot since its acquisition. The Recycle Depot is seeking
carbon neutrality, with plans of incorporating permaculture practices in the future. This includes the planting of fruit and
nut trees within the no-mow zones.

Other activities & items of note
 Recycle Depot employees have embraced the concept of living a green lifestyle including the use of alternative
modes of transportation. Focusing on health and well-being, bicycling has become part of this lifestyle.
Hazardous Materials Specialist Tim Eads and Director Mike Good frequently commute by bicycle to and from
work. Mr. Good commuted by bicycle a total of 92 working days in 2010 equating to a CO2 offset of 853 lbs.
 In addition to our Swap Shop, the Depot also distributes craft supplies for use in the classroom.
 The Recycle Depot utilizes a solar powered stationary compactor. The compactor is used to compact mixed
paper and has proven to significantly reduce transportation costs in addition to reducing demand for fossil fuels.
 The Recycle Depot continues to utilize drums (steel, plastic, & fiber), Gaylord boxes, and plastic buckets from
local businesses for packing many of our waste materials. This saves the Depot a significant amount of money
from our supply budget and often saves the donating businesses money from avoided disposal costs. To this
end, the Recycle Depot was able to sell (at cost) several hundred pickle and pepper drums from Bay Valley Foods
in 2010. Most of these drums were converted into rain barrels.
 On Saturday, June 26 , the Recycle Depot assisted with a local adopt-a-road project collecting 110 lbs. of litter.

Festival & event recycling efforts
Significant recycling efforts were made in 2010 at local
fairs and festivals. Recycling receptacles were made
available at:
 Marshall County 4H Fair
 Culver Lake Fest – recycling bins are in use at the
lakeside park year round
 Yellow River Festival
 Blueberry Festival - recycling bins are in use in
Centennial Park including the pool throughout
the year.

The Blueberry Festival’s Blue Goes Green Team helped

festival goers with questions about recycling as well as
general questions about the Blueberry Festival. Marianne
Peters serves as chairperson for the Blue Goes Green
Team.

200 blue recycling bins and 4 recycling kiosks were

distributed throughout Centennial Park for Blueberry
Festival patrons. Over 5 tons of bottles and cans as well as
cardboard were collected for recycling during the event.
