Recycling Smart City

Residential:

Achieve

80% waste diversion by 2020Corporate demolition and construction:Achieve 80% diversion

Single-family and duplex homes

demolition:

Achieve 70% diversion

RICHMOND’S OBJECTIVESSlide5

PILOT PROGRAM RESULTSSlide6

Pilot Objectives

Connect with members of the industry

Identify reasonable

diversion ratesAddress cost and time implications associated with higher diversion ratesDevelop recommendations for demolition bylaw

PILOT PROGRAM OBJECTIVESSlide7

Pilot – Recycling Scenarios1. Steady State:

Understand current practices2. Maximum Recycling:

Deconstruction approach

3. Accelerated Recycling: Aim to achieve 70% diversion4. Mixed Load to Recycling Facility: Use designated recycling facility instead of demolition waste recycling facilityPILOT PROGRAM SCENARIOSSlide8

DEMOLITION WASTE & RECYCLABLE MATERIALS BYLAW

(Bylaw No. 9516)Slide10

Effective April 1, 2016

Applies to single-family and duplex homes

70% minimum diversion rate

$250 non-refundable fee assessed part of demolition permit application process$2 per ft2 refundable fee, based on demolition waste recycling performance

PRIOR TO DEMOLITION:Contractor

applies for Demolition P

ermit and

submits the Waste Disposal & Recycling Services PlanPay applicable fees:$250 non-refundable administrative fee$2/ft2 refundable fee of floor area

i.e

.: for a 2,000 ft

2 home = $2 x 2,000 ft2 = $

4,000c) $250

+ $4,000 = $

4,250

APPLICATION PROCESS & FEESSlide14

AFTER DEMOLITION (within 90 days)Fill

out a Compliance Report & attach receiptsSubmit documentation to the City for review

Calculate refund:

For a 2,000 ft2 home, the refundable fee amount available is $4,000If achieved 70% diversion rate, refundable

fee is $

4,000

If diversion rate is 50%, refundable fee is $4,000 x 50%/70% = $2,857
