Approve Revised Interlocal Agreement with the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority Regarding
the County -wide Recycling Program and F.S. Sec. 403.706(22)(a)
This interlocal agreement will bring the Village into conformance with 2020 legislation that amended
Florida Statute 403.706 regarding collection and disposal of recyclable materials with the intent to
reduce contamination of recyclable materials. The provisions of the new law and the proposed
interlocal agreement would be incorporated into a future new franchise agreement for solid avast and
recyclable material collection and disposal. It will not impair or alter the Village's current franchise with
Waste Management, per the attached correspondence from the SWA.
This document and any attachments may be reproduced upon request in an alternative format by completing
our Accessibility Feedback Form, sending an e-mail to the Village Clerk or calling 561-768-0443.
Approve the proposed interlocal agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute on behalf of the Village.

Attn: Jeremy Allen
Dear valued municipal partner,
October 9, 2020
As you are aware, during last legislative session, the Governor signed CS/House Bill 73,
Environmental Regulation, adding a new subsection 22 to 403.706, F.S. that impacts each of us
regarding residential recycling collection and processing. Specifically, the addition of new
subsection 403.706 (22)(a) establishes a requirement that certain language be included in all new
or renewed collection contracts between municipalities or counties and private waste haulers with
the intended goal of reducing contamination in recycling. Attached, for your reference, please find
a copy of CS/HB. 73 Section I (Bill), (ATTACHMENT A) detailing the specific requirements.
The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County (Authority) is the entity responsible for
providing the county -wide recycling program, achieving the state -mandated recycling goals, and
operating the Recovered Materials Processing Facility. As such, the Authority believes that, to
help ensure a consistent county -wide program, it is in our collective best interest to provide our
municipal partners with a common framework to be utilized in developing future procurement
and/or contract renewal documents for private waste hauling services that comply with the new
legislative requirements.
To that end we have revised our existing Interlocal Agreement (ILA) relative to the new
requirements and we believe that the revised ILA contains the language that meets all of the
requirements of the new law. We have also taken this opportunity to update the ILA to reflect
current industry definitions and simplified the structure. There have been no substantive changes
to the terms and conditions of the current ILA. Accordingly, attached please find the current draft
of the revised ILA for your consideration (ATTACHMENT B).
As the future need arises for you to solicit new or renew existing waste collection contracts, as
your solid waste and recycling partner, we strongly encourage you to review the attached Bill and
address the specific requirements utilizing the language provided in the revised ILA or, alternately,
include the revised ILA as an exhibit referencing the appropriate sections.
Additionally, and as another initiative to reduce inbound recycling contamination, we also
recommend that for future bids, RFPs or collection contract renewals your municipality include
specific language requiring a rear -load split -body compacting recycling vehicle with one

compartment dedicated to paper/fiber products and one compartment dedicated for other recovered
materials (containers). It is our experience that this type of collection vehicle significantly reduces
cross -contamination. We have attached our contract specification for the type of recycling
collection vehicle for your reference and consideration (ATTACHMENT Q.
Again, we thank you for our great partnership as we work together to serve our customers with the
highest level of quality collection service possible. Should you have any questions or concerns
please feel free to contact Mr. John Archambo at (561) 315-2010 or email at jarchambokswa.org.

Dan Pellowitz

FOR THE DELIVERY OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE TO DESIGNATED
FACILITIES AND FOR A MUNICIPAL RECYCLING PROGRAM and shall
become effective upon filing with the Clerk of the Courts in accordance with Chapter

Page 483 of 496
Agenda Item #23.
5. The VILLAGE agrees to cooperate with the Authority to provide all necessary and
required information to the Authority in a timely manner so that it can be determined if
the VILLAGE's MSW and Designated Recyclables are being delivered to a Designated
Facility.
6. The Authority agrees to pay the VILLAGE a minimum of 50% of the Net Revenues
earned from the sale of Residential Recovered Materials attributable to the VILLAGE on
a quarterly basis. The actual percentage will be determined annually through the
Authority's budget process. The Net Revenues to be shared will consist of the Residential
Recovered Materials Revenues received by the Authority for each quarter less the
Processing Cost for that quarter. That amount will be divided by the total tons received to
determine an average price per ton and then multiplied by the adopted annual revenue
share percentage to set the program price to be paid for the quarter. The Net Revenue
distribution formula will be based on the number and type of residential units serviced by
the VILLAGE in relation to the total number of these units for all municipalities
participating in this program or on the actual amount delivered for municipalities that
haul their own material. Each participating municipality will either be classified as a Self -
Haul City or a Combined -Haul City. Self -Haul Cities will receive a revenue share based
on the actual weight of Acceptable Loads delivered to a Designated Facility. Combined -
Haul Cities will share the balance of those net revenues based upon the proportion of
their total ERUs serviced in comparison to the total ERUs serviced for all Combined -
Hauler Cities in Palm Beach County.
7. The Authority agrees to maintain its Designated Facilities to ensure adequate capacity for
the VILLAGE's waste and residential recyclables to operate within all applicable local,
state and federal environmental guidelines.
8. Collection of Designated Recyclables
A. Residential
Individual residents/homeowners shall be encouraged by the VILLAGE to
separate their MSW into recyclables and non-recyclables. Each residential unit or
combination of units will receive from the Authority the appropriate type and
number of reusable containers, in accordance with the countywide recycling
program, into which Recyclable Materials will be deposited.
Corrugated Cardboard shall be cut to an acceptable size and flattened, and for
curbside residents, shall be set beside or in the same reusable container as the
Fiber. Residents receiving containerized service may receive a separate container
to be used for the collection of Corrugated Cardboard.
The Authority retains the right to modify the manner in which materials are set
out for collection with reasonable notice to the VILLAGE. Notice for a
substantial change in collection method shall be no less than one year.
B . Commercial
Page 484 of 496
Agenda Item #23.
Individual businesses shall be encouraged by the VILLAGE to separate their
MSW into two categories: recyclable and non -recyclable. Businesses contracting
for services will arrange with their service provider to receive one or more
containers into which Recyclable Material may be deposited. Acceptable
Materials for commercial recycling shall include: Containers, Corrugated
Cardboard, Sorted White Ledger, Mixed Paper, Sorted Office Paper, and any
other materials agreed to in writing by the VILLAGE and the Authority.
The Authority reserves the right to add or delete allowable Designated Recyclables and

9. Commercial Recycling Revenue Share
As a further incentive for the VILLAGE to actively pursue commercial recycling, the
Authority and the VILLAGE may enter into a separate agreement to provide for payment
to the VILLAGE for all Acceptable Loads of agreed upon commercial Recyclable
Materials. Types of commercial Recyclable Materials eligible for payment shall be
determined by the Authority.
10. Transportation and Equipment
The VILLAGE shall be responsible for having collected Designated Recyclables
transported to a Designated Facility as defined herein. The Authority or its contractor
shall receive, process, dispose of and/or recover all Designated Recyclables delivered by

Loads as described below. Collection equipment must be of a type to provide for rear,
side or front unloading and may be compartmentalized or in separate vehicles.
11. Improperly Prepared and Sorted Recyclable Materials
When a collector's crew encounters improperly prepared and sorted materials or non -
recyclable items, they must follow this procedure:
A. The collector shall pick up all Designated Recyclables except for Contaminated
Recyclable Material or those which cannot be safely retrieved from the reusable
containers. Improperly prepared and sorted materials or contamination will be
left in the reusable containers or temporarily removed and returned to the reusable
containers. The collector shall leave an Authority and/or VILLAGE approved
form on the material or in the container. The form will notify the resident or
business that material has not been properly sorted, and will provide contact
information for the VILLAGE or Authority recycling coordinator for further
information. Upon request of the VILLAGE, the Authority will provide rejection
procedure training for the route drivers. The Authority and the VILLAGE will
consult and evaluate the extent of the need for such training, which shall be
provided by the Authority.
Page 485 of 496
Agenda Item #23.
As a means of strengthening the VILLAGE's ability to have its collector fulfill the
VILLAGE's recycling needs, the VILLAGE agrees to notify the Authority when
preparing the VILLAGE's future Request for Proposals or Bid for collection
services.
B . It shall be the responsibility of the VILLAGE or its Private Hauler to contact
residents or businesses that repeatedly place improperly sorted materials in their
designated container and inform and encourage them to properly sort materials. If
the problem persists, the VILLAGE shall notify the Authority, who shall then
assist the VILLAGE in resolving the problem.
12. Recycling Containers
The Authority shall provide yellow and blue eighteen (18) and ninety-six (96) gallon
recycling containers. The yellow and blue colors reflect a consistent educational
advertising effort through TV commercials, newsprint, radio, mailer, or other source. It is
the VILLAGE'S responsibility to make sure it or its Private Hauler has equipment
compatible to provide proper collection of these recycling containers without damage.
The VILLAGE or its Private Hauler shall be responsible for replacement of any recycling
container(s) damaged during service at no cost to the Authority. The Authority reserves
the right to add or delete different size containers and when doing so will provide the
Village with reasonable notice to make those changes.
13. Compliance with Zoning Ordinances
Any transfer, processing, disposal and/or storage of Municipal Solid Waste and
Recyclable Materials shall be undertaken at a Designated Facility that complies with all
local zoning ordinances and any other applicable local and state statutes, ordinances, and
regulations.
The VILLAGE further agrees to use its best efforts to amend or modify its appropriate
zoning, building, or land development code to require new multi -family or commercial
developments to provide adequate space for recycling containers.
14. Delivery of Unacceptable Loads
If the Village delivers a load of Designated Recyclables that is deemed to be an
Unacceptable Load, the VILLAGE or its Private Hauler will be charged the actual
disposal cost for any rejected load due to Contamination or equipment failure. The
Authority will notify the VILLAGE or its contractor immediately of an Unacceptable
Load. If the problem of Unacceptable Loads persists (more than two times in a month),
the Authority may elect to monitor the route for proper sorting and tagging procedures,
and/or make recommendations to the VILLAGE.
15. Promotion and Education Responsibilities
Page 486 of 496
Agenda Item #23.
The Authority will provide recycling containers and assist in promoting and educating
residents within the VILLAGE in an effort to increase recyclable tonnages and reduce
Contamination.
16. Delivery of Designated Recyclables
The VILLAGE agrees that it shall require that all Designated Recyclables separated from
the normal Municipal Solid Waste stream that are collected by or on behalf of the
VILLAGE be delivered to Designated Facilities as defined herein. The VILLAGE will
take such action as is necessary and available to ensure against and prevent scavenging
and unauthorized removal of such recyclables within the jurisdiction of the VILLAGE.
17. Term
This Agreement shall begin on the later of its effective date or October 1, 2020, and
continue through the following September 30th and shall automatically be renewed for
successive annual periods. Either party may terminate this Agreement on any October
1st by delivering written notice received by the other party prior to the preceding May
1st. The Authority will continue to provide the necessary recycling containers and
ongoing education and advertising as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding
termination, any rights or duties imposed by law shall remain in effect.
18. Change in Law
In the event any change in law abrogates or modifies any provisions or applications of
this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to enter into good faith negotiations and use their
best efforts to reach a mutually acceptable modification of this Agreement.
