ARKANSAS
MEETING OF AUGUST 4TH, 2015
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Peter Nierengarten, Sustainability and Resilience Director
Jeff Coles, Recycling and Trash Division Director
FROM: Leif Olson, Associate Planner
DATE: July 1, 2015
SUBJECT: Food Waste Composting and Single Stream Recycling Pilot Programs
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a Resolution to amend the scope of services with Kessler Consulting, Inc. to assist
the City in conducting a commercial food waste pilot and a single stream recycling pilot and to
approve a budget adjustment of $39,980.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council passed Resolution Number 171-14 on September 16, 2014 to contract with
Kessler Consulting, Inc. (KCI) to develop a 10 year solid waste master plan in order to attain a
waste diversion rate of 80%. Staff worked extensively with KCI to develop a final scope of work
that included:
• A baseline operational assessment of the current system,
• A waste audit and litter composition study with an option to partner with the University to
assess their solid waste generation and composition,
• An analysis of waste reduction and diversion options,
• Recovery scenarios modeling and financial evaluation,
• Policy recommendations,
• Development of the final solid waste master plan, and
• Master plan project coordination, community input process and final presentation.
DISCUSSION:
KCI, working with Recycling and Trash Division Staff, have completed the baseline operational
assessment and the waste composition study. Currently, KCI is working through waste
reduction and diversion options. At this time, Kessler Consulting is recommending that the City
develop two pilot programs to demonstrate the viability of commercial food waste composting
and single stream recycling as waste diversion options. Food waste and recyclables combine to
make up 45% of Fayetteville's waste stream. Conducting the pilot programs now will provide the
City with specific data on which to model the potential impacts of full-scale programs and also
enable the City to start seeing tangible results.
