Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
						  The governing body of a municipality that is required by this subchapter to
						  develop and implement a curbside recycling program may request the Department
						  to approve an alternative recycling program. This alternative may include
						  recycling services by a municipal waste landfill or resource recovery facility,
						  or recycling facility.
(b) The
						  Department will not approve an alternative recycling program unless the
						  municipality demonstrates the following to the Department's satisfaction:
(1) The facility in which recycling would be
						  performed has a municipal waste management permit from the Department under
						  this article.
(2) The facility, or
						  a substantially similar model of the facility, has effectively processed
						  municipal waste in the United States for at least 2 years. To meet this
						  requirement, a facility shall have:
(i)
						  Operated at no less than 90% of its capacity for the 2-year period, and
						  processed municipal waste during this period that is substantially similar to
						  waste generated by the requesting municipality that would be processed in the
						  future.
(ii) Recycled and marketed
						  25% of waste that is received and be capable of recycling 25% of waste in the
						  future, based on contractual arrangements and other factors. Products derived
						  from municipal waste which will be incinerated, whether for energy production
						  or not, or products derived and then disposed, do not qualify as a contribution
						  to the 25% recycling requirement. Materials extracted from municipal waste for
						  recycling purposes, including compost, and marketed qualify.
(3) The materials recovered or
						  created by the facility can be marketed as readily as materials collected
						  through a curbside program. The operator shall show where materials are sent
						  for recycling during the life of the demonstration period, even if it is not
						  the same facility.
(4) The
						  alternative program is preferable to a curbside recycling program, based on a
						  detailed analysis of the comparative economic costs, including avoided costs,
						  and environmental benefits of each program.
