Collection, Reuse and Recycling Infrastructure St. Paul MN PPSI Stakeholder Meeting April 30, 2008
Collection Infrastructure What we have and where are we going? Existing Infrastructure (what we have now) Methodology to establish minimum service levels Estimate gaps in infrastructure (difference between exsiting and minimums)

Methodology for Collection Infrastructure Needs Needs based on Infrastructure Report findings Updated Paint Generation Rate Methodology has been reviewed by OR, WA and MN groups and seems like a good starting point
Updated Paint Sales Rate In 2004 PSI Paint background report estimated a national average of 2.3 gallons paint sales per capita 2.3 Gallons was based on US Census Bureau data sources available in 2004 Review of more current data indicates higher average rates of paint sales
US Paint Sales Trend
US Paint Sales Data (1) and (2) Data from US Census Bureau website
Recommendation for Leftover Paint Generation Rate Calculate Leftover Paint generation rate at 10% of updated paint sales data Means using 0.247 gallons per capita/yr. instead of 0.23 gallons per capita/yr. for assumed leftover paint generation rate PSO can use the method shown in previous slide to calculate generation rates based on future US Census Bureau data. (9 yr. avg.)
Methodology to assure an initial baseline collection system Criteria for baseline collection points A city or county with 100,000 people of more should have at least 1 collection point per 100,000 people Any city or county with 10,000 people or more should have at least one collection point unless most of its population is within 10 miles of another collection point. Cities or counties with less than 10,000 people and most of its population not within 10 miles of a collection point should have at least 1 mobile collection event per year. There is a de-minimus population density which cannot support mobile collection, TBD by the PSO
Estimate gaps in infrastructure Use baseline collection system infrastructure methodology This can be done in tabular form and graphically Examples from WA and MN
WA Baseline Infrastructure Map
WA Infrastructure Gap Analysis Existing collection points = 51 including 3 paint stores Needed to fill gap = 51 collection points Total baseline = 102 collection points Compare WA to BC BC = 4.4 million, 103 collection points WA Population = 6.5 million, 48% more people than BC, so 102 sites might not be sufficient for WA
MN Infrastructure Gap Analysis 36 Permanent, year round collection sites; 7 with <10,000 pop 22 seasonal, permanent collection sites; 13 in counties with >20,000 pop 13 counties >20,000 with events only 18 counties with <10,000 population; 6 have seasonal facilities 2 of 7 metro counties meet the 1 site/100,000 criteria Did not do “city” analysis 3 VSQG only collection sites in metro area
