9. Recycle Update – Dave
A. Dave reported the NEKWMD is in a significant financial hole of approximately $85,000.
B. Much of the deficit is due to the reduction in income streams:
•	Reduced tipping fees due to lower trash volume 
•	lack of markets for recyclables such as glass and aerosols 
•	high cost of operating special events such as Hazardous Waste and Bulky Waste collections. 
C. The new director is looking at ways to generate more income. Staffing has been reduced by making some positions part time instead of full time. They will be charging $15 for large Freon containing appliances and $5 for smaller ones. 
D. Household Hazardous Waste Collection events cost the District a lot of money and they are considering stopping them or charging for them. Also Bulky Collection Events (furniture, mattress etc.) are not required and may be discontinued since they also cost a great deal to run.
E. Pick up stops will increase from $55 to $65 for Towns and from $37 to $42 for schools. 
F. Other increased are being discussed. Robert mentioned that he would rather see an increase in the Tash surcharge or the per capita fee rather than “nickel an diming” everything. 

Respectfully submitted,
Pat Sanders
