The proposed $1.4 million project is to expand the recycling program of the Operation and Maintenance Division at Urbana by adding a manual sorting operation to separate recyclables from the waste stream. By increasing the sorting of waste at the transfer station, it is estimated landfill waste will be reduced by 55 percent (well above the State's mandated level of a 40 percent reduction in such waste by the year 2000). The work consists of an addition for a sorting platform and baler. The 12,000 gsf facility will also include showers, restrooms, and an office. Funds are available from the institutional funds budget of the Operation and Maintenance Division. A schedule of the firm's hourly rates has been filed with the secretary of the board for record.
