Town of Hamilton 30 miles north of Boston on Cape Ann Tipping Trash $70/ton

Town of Hamilton Semi rural, conservative, New England town (15 square miles) 2600 households A little more than 8,000 residents

Today, Hamiltonians produce <.5 tons solid waste; recycling 50%; 10.56% is composted kitchen organic waste. Some facts… Average MA household produces one tone of solid waste annually Hamiltonians produced 1.22 tons waste annually before 2006

2006: Status Quo

2007: Blue Boxes Introduced

2008: Waste Reduction Program

2009: Eliminate Organics from SW

2010: Green Gallon Barrels Introduced

2011: Special Split Body Truck Built

2012: New Trash Program Instituted

Keys to Success Find a hauler Find a composter Design a pilot program Court political leaders Institute a PAYT program Charge high rate for overage bags Gather a crew of dedicated enthusiastic unconquerable organizers Establish a Trash Hot Line Put together a strong education program Find funding Implement bi-weekly solid waste collection program

Lessons Learned Larvae in hot summer months Freezing in cold winter months Animal control Overcoming the “ick” factor

Benefits To the Town Trash costs can be cut in half New bag revenue (poor recyclers are now paying for the trash costs, not all their neighbors who provide the tax base.) Anaerobic digester
