Composting/Yard Trimmings Management Grants
Yard Waste Reduction Narrative
I. Introduction
A landfill is no place for yard waste. When disposed of in a landfill, yard waste takes up
space, thus reducing the life of the landfill. Such practices are even more wasteful when
one considers the fact that yard waste has other, more environmentally sound uses, such as
compost. The City of Lubbock proposes to implement the city's first yard waste alley
collection pilot program, and construct and operate it own composting site, as part of its
broader, comprehensive yard waste reduction program.
II. Description
A. Yard Waste Collection
(1) Purpose & Objectives
The Yard Waste Collection Program is designed to (a) get Lubbock residents more
involved in protecting their environment, (b) divert waste from the landfill, and (c)
make better use of natural resources. Because of the program's ease, simplicity, and
efficiency, it can accomplish all three.
(2) Communities To Be Served
The Yard Waste Collection Program will serve the City of Lubbock. Because it is a
pilot program, it will begin by serving two neighborhoods: (i) Heart of Lubbock
Neighborhood, and (ii) UNrr Neighborhood. These two neighborhoods have been
selected for the following reasons:
(a) location: They are located approximately in the center of town
(b) diversity: They have a diverse population, including young and elderly; students,
professionals, and retirees; upper, middle, and lower incomes
(c) participation: In past pilot projects, residents of these neighborhoods have shown
tremendous interest in recycling. Thus, these residents can again sere as leaders
and role models when the program is expanded to other neighborhoods-
(d) neighborhood associations: Both areas have well organized and =dive
neighborhood associations. These associations will be helpful in terms of
educating the residents of the neighborhoods.
Together these two communities are comprised of approximately 5,000 homes.
(3) Projected Capital and Operating Costs
13oth aspects of this Yard Waste Reduction venture, the Yard Waste Collection
Ptogtam and the Cite of Lubbock Composring Facilir, will cost about $34 ),424.
1,iihhock proposes to conrribuie $2.50,794 toward (he opera ion of these projects_ We
are reyursting $95,630 in grant funding to help with initial Su -up costs.
Al 1 .0 IIIIII`nt. C
I1.1�:f
(4) Operati<u► 6
Essentially, Lubbock's proposed Yard Waste Collection Program will provide residents
with curhside recycling for yard waste. The program will use a different collection
method in each of the two participating neighborhoods.
(a) Heart of Lubbock neighborhood: The yard waste will be collected in brown,
Kraft bags, which are biodegradable and safe for composting. The City of
Lubbock will provide each household with eight bags per month. Bags and
brochures will be distributed door-to-door by volunteers from the Community
Action Network at Texas Tech University and Waste Watch Lubbock Recycling
Coalition.
As residents cut their grass, pull weeds, or rake leaves, they place the waste in the
bags. On the designated day, residents place the bags in the alleys, adjacent to the
trash dumpsters. City staff will collect the bags once a week. The bags will be
placed into a sideloading trash truck.
(b) UNIT neighborhood: The yard waste will be collected in green, three cubic yard
sideloading dumpsters. One dumpster will be provided for every four houses. The
dumpsters will be clearly labeled to reduce contamination. Residents can place
their grass, weeds, leaves, and small branches in the dumpster throughout the
week. On the designated day, City staff will empty the dumpsters with a
automated, sideloading trash truck.
The trucks will take the yard waste to the designated ootnpost site. The large items,
such as branches and twigs, will fast be ground in our tub grinder- Currently, the
City takes much of the wood waste and yard waste it collects through other Programs
to a privately operated compost facility, South Plains Compost. However, the City of
Lubbock is currently in the process of developing its own Compost site. The preferred
site consists of fifteen acres at the City of Lubbock Landfill. Nonetheless, please note
that the operation of the Yard Waste Collection Program will not be dependent on the
City operating its own compost site.
(5) Time frames cide
The Yard Waste Collection Program will operate six (6) months a Year, to coin
with the bulk of the growing season. For 1994, operations will commence within
thirty days of executing the grant agreement with the TNRCC, and will run through
the end of August. For 1995, operations will commence in March and run through the
end of August.
(6) Records & Performance Measures
Thorough and accurate records will be kept on the program and reports will be made
as required to the TNRCC. Performance measures will be as follows:
(a) waste reduction: To be successful, the Yard Waste Collection Program must
divert 10% of the waste stream from these neighborhoods away from the landfill.
Thus, we must collect nine tons of yard waste per week (227 tons during the six
months the program is in operation).
(h) participation: To be successful, forty percent of the residents in the pilot
nel hborhoods must participate in the Yard Waste Collection Progrwri.

(7) Uses & Market~
The yard waste collected through the Yard Waste Collection Program will be
composted at the City of Luhhock's compost site. The yard waste will be added to the
other wood waste that is collected though other programs. Once processed, the
compost will he used in city parks and municipal golf courses.
(8) Integration
First, the Yard Waste Collection Program will compliment the Backyard Composting
Program Lubbock has initiated. As part of its Clean Cities 2000 grant, Lubbock
purchased and distributed 1,000 backyard composting bins. Lubbock also produced a
how-to brochure (see enclosed brochure: Com spot Happens). For those who are
unable/unwilling to participate in backyard composting, or who generate too much
yard waste to handle themselves, the Yard Waste Collection Program will provide
additional services. This program will also provide an alternative to the Don't Bag It
program, which also enjoys active participation throughout Lubbock. Finally, the City
of Lubbock has also been selected as a Master Composter location. Thus, there will be
many different ways for Lubbock residents to be involved in composting. The easiest
will, of course, be the Yard Waste Collection Program.
(9) Promotional & Educational Campaign
As with its other environmental programs, the City of Lubbock will implement an
extensive public education campaign. The program will include the following:
(a) brochures: teaching residents the howl and whys of composting will be
distributed door to door, and through the schools and neighborhood associations
(b) posters: will be placed in the area schools educating the neighborhood children
on the importance of composting yard waste
(c) presentations: educational programs will be presented to the neighborhood
associations, which will feature videos on composting and demonstrations
(d) labels: In the Heart of Lubbock neighborhood, labels will be placed on the trash
dumpsters informing the residents of when and where to place their brown bags
in the alleys. In the UNIT neighborhood, labels will also be placed on the green
yard waste collection dumpsters to inform residents of the do's and don'ts.
(e) videos: educational videos will be produced, showing the howl and whys of
composting in Lubbock. The videos will be shown to school children, the
neighborhood association, and civic groups.
(f) newsletter: The South Plains Corporate Recycling Council has offered to
promote the program through its bimonthly newsletter.
(g) psa's: The South Plains Corporate Recycling Council has also offered to help
produce a 30-second psa on composting.
~ (10) Other Considerations
The City of Lubbock has a successful history of using pilot projects. We have gained
great experience in designing a project, implementing it, monitoring it, making
adjustments, and expanding it. Examples of recent successful pilot projects that were
eventually implemented city-wide include the following:
(a) Blue Bag Program: We collect residential recyclables once a week in the alleys.
Residents place glaNs hortles and jars, plastic bottles (Types 1&2), aluminum
heverage cans, and newspr int in blue, plastic grocery hags and place the bags
ncm their dumpsters In 1993, the lust year the program was operated city-
widc, wt, collcetcd i,W) run. Ji :f coI,,l of Only $.41 per hou.tir pee month.

(b) Waste Oil Recycling: Lubbock residents can now drop-off their used motor oil
at any one of eighteen locations throughout the city. The oil is collected in 360
gallon igloos that are kept at city fire stations and other municipal offices. In
1993 the program collected 23,619 gallons of waste oil for recycling.
(c) Christmas Tree Recycling: Nearly one of every two Christmas trees purchased
in Lubbock is recycled. Of the estimated 20,000 fresh trees that were sold in
Lubbock in 1993, 9,584 were collected and mulched. The resulting 19 tons of
mulch was used in City parks and gardens.
B. Yard Waste Composting
(1) Purpose & Objectives
Adequate composting facilities do not currently exist in Lubbock. Those that do exist
are either incapable of processing the large quantities of material available, or are too
expensive. The City of Lubbock Composting Facility is designed to (a) provide the
City of Lubbock with an affordable composting facility, (b) ensure the composting
facility is environmentally sound, (c) divert waste from the landfill, and (d) make better
use of natural resources.
(2) Communities To Be Served
The city of Lubbock Composting Facility will serve Lubbock County. Although the
primary user will be the City of Lubbock, other municipalities are interested in using
the facility. Thus far, the City of Wolfforth, Reese Air Force Base and Texas Techu
University have expressed interest in composting material from their areas at the City
of Lubbock Composting Facility.
(3) Projected Capital and Operating Costs
As stated in section H. A., above, both aspects of this Yard Waste Reduction venture,
the Yard Waste Collection Program and the City of Lubbock Composting Facility w11
cost about $346,424. Lubbock proposes to contribute $2,50,794 toward the operation
of these projects. We are requesting $95,630 in grant funding to help with initial set-
up costs.
(4) Operation
The City of Lubbock Composting Facility will be located on the property adjacent to
the current City of Lubbock Landfill. The site includes approximately fifteen acres of
land.
(a) Source: Organic material, such as yard waste and wood scraps, will be provided
primarily by City of Lubbock projects, including the one proposed in section I-
A., above, and the waste collected in our 30 cubic yard roll -off containers placed
at landscaping business, City of Lubbock Parks & Recreation, and Reese A.F.B.-
(b) Process: We will use a water truck and a compost turner, which will be attached to
an existing front-end loader, to process the material.
(c) Management: Two Solid Waste Management staff members will supervise and
operate the site. They will receive further training prior to operating the site.
(5) Time francs

and will run through the end of' August. For 1995, operations will commence to
March and iun through the end of August.
(6) Records & Performance Measures
Thorough and accurate records will be kept on the program and reports will be made
as required to the TNRCC.
Performance measures will be as follows:
(a) waste reduction: To be successful, the City of Lubbock Composting Facility
must compost 100 cubic yards of material per month (1,200 cy per year).
(b) participation: Just as the City of Lubbock Landfill serves approximately 31
other cities and has become a regional landfill, we hope that our composting site
will also serve the region. To be successful, the City of Lubbock Composting
Facility must serve at least two other government bodies.
M Uses & Markets
Compost from the City of Lubbock Composting Facility will be used in city parks, and
golf courses. Also, the compost will be distributed free of charge to residents of the
two neighborhoods participating in the pilot projects.
(8) Integration
As stated in section A above, the Qy of Lubbock Composting Facility will
compliment existing programs such as Master Gardener, Master Composter, Don't Bag
k and Backyard Composting.
(9) Promotional & Educational Campaign
As with its other environmental programs, the City of Lubbock will implement an
extensive public education campaign. The program will include the following:
(a) brochures: teaching the business the howl and Ays of composting
(b) posters: will be placed in the area nurseries and garden supply stores educating
do-it-yourselfers on the importance of composting yard waste
(c) presentations: educational programs will be presented other municipal solid
waste management agencies and associations sharing the City of Lubbock's
experiences with composting.
(d) signs: clearly marking the facility
(e) letters: soliciting participation from other communities. Other cities
government entities, such as Texas Tech University, will be encouraged to
compost their materials at our facility.
D. Conclusion
The City of Lubbock is attempting to develop a comprehensive yard waste reduction program -
Thus far, we have implemented programs and pilot projects that encourage backyard
composting, not bagging grass clippings, recycling Christmas trees, and dropping -off yard
waste at the landfill and roll -off containers. The next steps involve attempts at curbside yard
waste collections and operating our own compost facility.
The TNRCC c.,n assist Lubbock with its efforts by awarding us grant funds to help pay for the
start-up Costs. With stair assistance f0u initial costs, such as large equipment, Lubbock will be
better able to implement new progi amti and expand existing ones.

Dear Ms. Frankhouser
The Community Action Network (CAN) at Texas Tech University is very supportive of your
efforts to collect and compost yard waste in the City of Lubbock. We understand the tremendous
amount of landfill space that is consumed by yard waste. We are also well aware of the potential
benefits of composting the yard waste and using it again in city parks and gardens.
In an effort to contribute to the success of your yard waste recycling program, CAN Is willing to
help the City of Lubbock recruit volunteers who would distribute the collection bags for its p8ot
project. Our volunteers, who are primarily Tech students, faculty, and staff, could help the
city by going door to door once or twice a year and give residents Information on the program as
well as their supply of bags. We recommend that you provide the bags only to residents who
want them. This would require that you devise a plan for such an undertaking, but in the long
run would decrease waste and ensure that the bags would be used In the appropriate manner.
The staff and volunteers of the Community Action Network wish you continued success on all of
your recycling programs.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Leitschuh
