In an attempt to be cooperative, we reviewed the suggestions of the SWA and found that the Village currently does not require contractors to utilize construction debris containers at a job site. Requiring this through the proposed Ordinance will further limit the probability of illegal dumping. It is recommended that the Village Council approve this Ordinance on first reading.

Hunt, Jr. >OF�Cfi Executive Director SUBJECT: Disposal of Solid Waste Recent solid waste disposal audits indicate that the waste stream in Palm Beach County has declined dramatically in recent months. Recycling activities have contributed to this decline but not to the extent that has been experienced. The Solid Waste Authority is requesting that all municipalities, if they are not already, begin verifying that their haulers are in fact delivering all w aste collected to a Solid Waste Authority designated facility as required by Chapter 75-473, as amended. It is absolutely necessary to the solid waste system that all waste be brought to the Authority's facilities and not delivered to an adjoining county or undesignated facility. Verification of proper disposal can be made by requiring copies of all weight tickets received by the hauler be furnished to the municipality. Building or Code Enforcement Sections can verify that construction debris has been delivered to an Authority designated facility by requiring a copy of the disposal bill from the contractors prior to issuing a final CO. If you have any questions or if the Authority can be of assistance to you please do not hesitate to contact me.
