Recycling Campaign Launches at E-Scrap Event

South Central Solid Waste Authority — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0700

By Esmeralda Almanza and Suzanne Michaels
The SCSWA's Electronic Recycling Event on Saturday was a success for the second year in a row - and so was the launch of the "Get Caught Recycling!" campaign. More than 400 cars and trucks full of non-working electronics drove through the Do-a Ana County Government Center parking lot to unload E-Scrap and win prizes.

"Forty tons of electronics collected at the E-Scrap event were added to the 110 tons of electronic recyclables we've gathered through-out the year at the South Central Solid Waste Authority," said Patrick Peck, director of the SCSWA. That's on top of 75 tons collected at the 2009 event.

"I always recycle plastics and paper but I'm glad for the electronics event. It's great! I will definitely bring more things next year," said Tambi Estrada, an avid recycler.

Twenty eager volunteers from all over Las Cruces along with staff from the SCSWA joined forces to gather all the recyclables and reward recyclers for their time.

"I like to recycle because it promotes the environmental cause," Desiree Varela said. "This is actually the second year I'm volunteering for the E-Scrap event."

"The most popular item we received this year was televisions," Peck said. Other items dropped-off included computers, laptops, keyboards, heaters, cell phones, cables and more.

Resident Robert Chavez notes, "I recycled a bunch of old computers, and I'm going back to get another load because I couldn't fit all of them in one trip."

"We recycle a lot and we go to the drop-off sites very frequently, and since we missed the E-Scrap last year we came this year," Mark Uchanski said.

Every car received a "Scrappy" recyclable grocery bag... and "Get Caught Recycling!" kicked off with every 10th car being tagged for the driver to win a Care Improvement Plus bright blue coffee mug and a $5 dollar gift certificate to The Bean in Mesilla or "Recycle New Mexico" t-shirts courtesy of The New Mexico Recycling Coalition. Those who were "caught" were also registered for a chance to win a Grand Prize Trip for Two.

"Get Caught Recycling!" is a 3-month campaign that will run through January. People will be randomly rewarded in Las Cruces and Do-a Ana County for taking the time to recycle. Every week recyclers will be selected at the different drop-off sites. All the winners will be given an instant prize and the chance to enter a drawing for a trip for two courtesy of the Las Cruces Sun-News.

Thank you to all the local businesses who are supporting the 2010 E-Scrap collection and "Get Caught Recycling!":

Albertson's (Main & Lohman) for the doughnuts

Chick-Fil-A (inside the mall) and Helms Briscoe for the chicken platters

The Green Community Blossoms in Las Cruces

South Central Solid Waste Authority — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0600

By Esmeralda Almanza and Suzanne Michaels

RECYCLING UPDATE:

1) Please do not put garden hoses, electrical cables or other wires in the recycling mix. They get twisted around the equipment at our recycling processor and can bring the entire operation to a halt.

2) Please do not recycle cans/bottles that still have food in them. Food contamination is a big problem with recycling, and can ruin entire loads of recyclables. The worst offenders: plastic jars of peanut butter, and cans with dog food. Better to throw these items away as trash than risk contaminating a bin of recyclables.

The Las Cruces green community is thriving, and welcomes Green Navigator as a one stop on-line shop for all your "green" questions. You can locate and share information about green education, green jobs, green events and green organizations at www.GreenNavigator.org. Creator Jesse Micander said this is a website designed to simplify the search process and save Las Cruces area residents time and effort.

"While searching the web I noticed a lot of inaccurate green information also known as 'green washing.' Eventually I found useful and relevant information... but realized if I'm having difficulty finding good green information, there are probably many others having similar issues," Micander said. "I wanted to locate specific green-related products, services and resources in the Las Cruces area that would help a professional in the green field assist clients with green options, like a home owner interested in upgrading to an energy efficient water heater, or an eco consumer looking for environmentally friendly products."

But... to get Green Navigator going, Micander had to do more.

"I'm now involved in several local groups promoting green," Micander said, including the Las Cruces Green Chamber of Commerce, the local 350.org chapter, the DACC, Building Construction Technology Advisory Committee, Haven on Earth, Build Green Steering Committee, and Freecycle Las Cruces.

"I am also building relationships with the city of Las Cruces, El Paso Electric, the SCSWA, and the manager of Environmental Policy and Sustainability at NMSU to keep up to date on green events happening around the city," Micander said.

Do you Facebook? To get the search engines running, Micander created a Green Navigator Facebook page so people can follow his "green" activities.
"Recent events posted on the site include: the Go Green Fashion show hosted by Haven on Earth, the recycling education effort at the Southern NM State Fair hosted by SCSWA, the "Day of Work" effort hosted by the local 350.org group, the donation ceremony of 10,000 compact fluorescent light bulbs by El Paso Electric Company to NMSU, and I'm looking forward to donating/helping out with the upcoming Nov. 13 E-Scrap recycling effort hosted by SCSWA," Micander said.

The search opportunities don't stop there.

"I'm adding green information to the site as time permits and seeking suggestions on making the site as user friendly as possible," Micander said. "There are many additional features and services that I plan to add to the site as it grows."

Recycling added to mix at Trek For Trash

South Central Solid Waste Authority — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0600

By Esmeralda Almanza For the Sun-News

Posted: 10/20/2010 12:37:13 AM MDT

The 2010 Trek For Trash organizers at Keep Las Cruces Beautiful went one step further this year - collecting recyclables separately from trash in their cleanup efforts.

Las Cruces residents rallied to beautify their city by picking up trash from the streets, schools and parks, while recycling at the same time. More than 800 volunteers registered to help and donated their time on Saturday, Oct. 16.

"An animal control officer recommended last year that we separate recyclables from the trash we were picking up. It was a great idea - and we implemented it this year!" said Craig Fenske, the Keep Las Cruces Beautiful coordinator. "Trash went into black trash bags ... while aluminum cans and plastic bottles went into clear bags."

Full bags were left on site for another Haven On Earth volunteers to pick up. Recyclables were transferred to the South Central Solid Waste Authority.

"I think everybody should recycle and it's really good we did that this year," said Gordo Castillo from the NMSU's Aggies Men's basketball team, "this is my second time doing this, I did it once before in High School."

Like Castillo, the Girl Scouts from Troop 427 enjoyed recycling. "I like it because we found a lot of water bottles here in Lion Park that we can recycle," said Alicia a Girl Scout Cadet.

Along with recycling and trash pick up, some of the volunteers also cleaned up graffiti. "Painting murals is a positive way to give back to the community and beautify the neighborhood but it also gives volunteers a sense of ownership," said Amber Parker Juvenile Diversion Program Supervisor, "they can see their work for years to come." The city was divided into zones and then assigned to each group of volunteers. "Prior to the event Codes Enforcement officers are in charge of finding zones in their district that need to be cleaned up," said Codes Enforcement officer Danny Acosta.

Some of the zones that were cleaned up include Kline Park, Veterans Park, Burn Lake Park, La Llorona Park, Lion Park, Young Park, Lynn Middle School, Conlee Elementary School, University Hills Elementary School, Picacho Middle School, O-ate High School, Las Alamedas Neighborhood, the Dream Center, Newman

Center and neighborhood, the East Mesa Recreational Center along with several streets including Picacho, Telshor, Main, Lohman, University, Griggs, Solano, Walnut and Hoagland among others.

"This was the first year for the NMSU's Men's basketball team. We cleaned up three miles and it was fun - I would definitely do it again!" said Tyrone Watson a player for the Aggies.

The cleanup efforts started as early as 8 a.m. and lasted about four hours. At noon volunteers arrived back at the meeting point for a very well earned volunteer celebration. Free lunch was served to everyone at the Dream Center, 1400 N. Sixth St.

Thank you to all the volunteers that participated: Kolbin, Associated Students of NMSU, Girls Stepping Stones, American Institute of Architecture Students, Kappa Delta Chi, United States Miss Fire, High Range Neighborhood Association, RJI Publishing, Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, Desert Hills Elementary, Crossroads City Derby, Armijo Neighborhood Association, BSA Troop 68, DACC Skills USA, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Cub Scout Pack 179, Third Judicial Court, Lynn Middle School, Agents of Peace, Nava Counseling Services, Adult Probation and Parole, Juvenile Citation Program, LCHS National Honor Society, Knights of Columbus Council 9527, New Heights Faith Community, LCHS National Honor Society, NMSU Rotaract Club, Picacho PTO, Mayfield National Honor Society, DACC Dental Assisting, Desert Hills Elementary School, Onate High Key Club, O-ate HOSA, FYI Juvenile Community Corrections, Boy Scouts of America Troop 179, Functional Family Therapy, Sierra Middle School, Mesa, and several families.

Recycling Connections: Anthony, NM, looks as good as new after clean-up! AND Changes to Buying Trash Disposal Coupons

South Central Solid Waste Authority — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0600

By Esmeralda Almanza and Suzanne Michaels

"It's the very first cleanup we've done ever, and I am very happy with the turnout," said Anthony Mayor Ramon Gonzalez, who led a crew of more than 200 people on a crisp Saturday morning to clean up Acosta Road and its surroundings.

Of course the mayor got a little help from his friends. "Over 200 people were here to give us a hand - Fort Bliss soldiers, the VFW veterans, Family Youth Incorporated, the Anthony New Mexico Boy Scouts Troop 88, the ROTC from Gadsden, the people from the South Central Solid Waste Authority and more," Gonzalez said.

The SCSWA also provided the roll-off containers to transfer the trash. "We've supplied five roll-offs the size of 40-yard containers and so far we've gathered the equivalent of 10 full roll-offs, but I think there will be more by the end of the day at the rate we're going. We've gone back and forth several times," said Freddie Aguirre supervisor for the SCSWA. The city also did its part to help out by providing a loader and two dump trucks for easy transit.

"We've been cleaning since 8 in the morning and we'll continue until noon. We started on Acosta Road next to the cemetery and so far we've cleaned Park, Charles and Livesay," noted Mayor Gonzalez, "I would calculate we've covered 2.5 miles so far."

The trash picked up at the site was then transported to the Anthony Gap Community Collection Center on O'Hara Road. After a hard day's work, volunteers celebrated with a cookout as a reward for a job well done!

Coupons for trash disposal at the eight Community Collection Centers in the county can now only be bought at the following locations:

Approved! Curbside Recycling

South Central Solid Waste Authority — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0600

APPROVED!

CURBSIDE RECYCLING in Las Cruces

Approved though UNANIMOUS vote of Utilities Board, SCSWA Board,

and 6-1 Vote by City Council

September 23, 2010

For Immediate Release

Contact: Suzanne Michaels (915) 588-0082

Minutes ago, the Las Cruces Utilities Board unanimously approved curbside recycling for 29,000 homes in the City. This comes on the heels of a unanimous approval for curbside recycling by the South Central Solid Waste Authority Board on Tuesday, and the Monday 6-1 approval by the Las Cruces City Council.

SCSWA Director Patrick Peck says, "We will start immediately putting together our education and outreach, so everyone knows what's happening when the bright blue bins arrive at their homes, and we begin every-other-week curbside pickup after the first of the year. This is a very exciting time for Las Cruces."

The funding option approved is an across-the-board increase of $2.59 for every residence (less than the cost of one gallon of gasoline per month).

Recycling in Las Cruces will not stop global warming by itself, but if 1000 cities like Las Cruces recycle, we will have an impact.

Las Cruces Leaps Toward CURBSIDE RECYCLING

South Central Solid Waste Authority — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0600

PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release: August 9, 2010

Contact: Suzanne Michaels 915.588.0082

Las Cruces Leaps Toward

CURBSIDE RECYCLING

Giant strides toward curbside recycling were made by Las Cruces City Councilors this afternoon during a work session that included reviewing curbside options.

Currently, Las Cruces and Dona Ana County residents drop off recyclables in bins located at 6 commercial sites, 17 schools, and 8 Community Collection Centers in the County.

Today, South Central Solid Waste Authority (SCSWA) Director Patrick Peck reported back to the Council what it would cost to implement curbside to 28,000 Las Cruces residences, with two possible options for implementation on an every-other-week pickup basis (26 times a year).

"The #1 question we are asked over and over at the SCSWA is: WHEN IS LAS CRUCES GETTING CURBSIDE RECYCLING?" says Peck. Based on today's response from City Councilors, it could be very soon, possibly by January 2011.

The current cost to Las Cruces residents for trash pickup is $15.10. Seniors get a break, only paying $11.29 monthly.

OPTION ONE to implement curbside recycling would increase the average residential bill by $1.89, bringing the total fee to $16.99 per month. Billing for seniors would be increased by $4.98, bringing their monthly bill to $16.27.

OPTION TWO would be an across-the-board increase of $2.59 for every residence, bringing the average residential bill to $17.69, and the bill for seniors to $13.88 per month.

For comparison purposes, either option is slightly less than what El Paso residents pay for trash and curbside recycling - $18.94 per month, including sales tax - but, El Paso residents have weekly recycling pickup.

Councilors approved moving forward with curbside, but are planning a public meeting during the week of August 30, to get public input about which option would be preferable. The date of the meeting will be established during the next few days.

Then, Council will choose which option to formally recommend during the Tuesday, September 7^th Council Meeting.

The issue, says Peck, "...is not whether we're running out of landfill space. The issue is what kind of impact do we want to have on our region? Based on the enormous participation we have with drop-off recycling, our always full drop-off bins, and the number of residents asking for curbside... this community wants curbside, which will dramatically increase our recycling rate. It's the best way we have locally to greatly reduce our solid waste environmental impact."

El Paso Turns Down Landfill Contract

South Central Solid Waste Authority — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0600

El Paso turns down landfill contract (4:53 a.m.)

By Marty Schladen \ EL Paso Times

Posted: 08/11/2010 04:53:15 AM MDT

EL PASO -- City Council members on Tuesday rejected a landfill contract with a New Mexico company that would have paid the city $2.5 million a year.

The city instead will continue with a plan to require that all commercial waste be hauled to landfills in El Paso County, even though the plan will require an $18.5 million investment. The money is needed for additional equipment at the Clint Landfill and to reopen the McCombs Landfill in the Northeast.

City staff members had recommended that the council accept the New Mexico deal.

The council also voted Tuesday to increase a fee used to clean alleys, traffic medians and the like by $1 a month for residents and $3 for businesses. It also raised the residential fee for a second garbage can from $10 a month to $16 and the commercial fee for a second can from $16 to $26.

The city's attorneys will rewrite the ordinance to direct commercial garbage to city landfills and introduce it next week.

Waste Connections Inc. hauls some commercial waste in El Paso, and it owns the Camino Real landfill in Sunland Park. If, as it plans, the city directs all garbage away from the New Mexico landfill, Camino Real will lose 75 percent of its business.

So Waste Connections offered a package that would pay that city $2.5 million a year and allow it to dump 75,000 tons of garbage at the New Mexico landfill annually at a rate of $19 a ton. The city charges $26 a ton at the Clint landfill, and city staff members estimated the city would save $337,000 a year under that part of the Waste Connections proposal.

Fresh off weeks of sessions in which deep cuts were made to the city's 2011 budget, City Manager Joyce Wilson seemed frustrated that the council rejected the Waste Connections offer.

"It would have been in lieu of a significant capital investment," Wilson said, adding that private companies could operate all landfills and possibly save the city money. "I don't know that government should be the one expanding business in this area."

But city Rep. Susie Byrd said that directing all commercial trash to city landfills would create the volumes needed to undertake waste-to-energy and other programs.

"The Waste Connections proposal is only about this year's budget," Byrd said.

In the end, only city Rep. Ann Morgan Lilly voted to accept the Waste Connections Proposal, while the other seven members of the council voted against.

City Rep. Steve Ortega said he decided to change his vote when he learned that Teresa Montoya, a public relations consultant working for Waste Connections, was rallying the public in Clint against expansion of that landfill. New cells will have to be opened there if the city is to direct all commercial trash to Clint and McCombs. A number of Clint residents attended the meeting with Montoya and spoke against the plan.

Montoya said she is doing work for Waste Connections on the commercial-waste issue, but that is not why she was warning Clint residents of the expansion. She also works to get water to Clint-area residents who don't have it, she said.

George Wayne, divisional vice president of Waste Connections, said he did not know if his company had directed Montoya to lobby Clint residents on Waste Connections' behalf.

The City Council is expected next week to consider an ordinance that would direct all commercial garbage to city landfills starting Sept. 1, 2011.

Curbside Recycling

South Central Solid Waste Authority — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0600

Las Cruces Leaps Toward

CURBSIDE RECYCLING

Giant strides toward curbside recycling were made by Las Cruces City Councilors this afternoon during a work session that included reviewing curbside options.

Currently, Las Cruces and Dona Ana County residents drop off recyclables in bins located at 6 commercial sites, 17 schools, and 8 Community Collection Centers in the County.

Today, SCSWA Director Patrick Peck reported back to the council regarding what it would cost to implement curbside to 28,000 Las Cruces residences, with two possible options for implementing curbside on an every other week pickup basis (26 times a year).

"The #1 question we are asked over and over at the SCSWA is: WHEN IS LAS CRUCES GETTING CURBSIDE RECYCLING?, says Peck. Based on the response from City Councilors today, it could be very soon, possibly by January 2011.

The current cost to Las Cruces residents for trash pickup is $15.10. Seniors get a break, only paying $11.29 monthly.

OPTION ONE to implement curbside recycling would increase the average residential bill by $1.89, bringing the total fee to $16.99 per month. Seniors would pay an extra $4.98, bringing their monthly bill to $16.27.

OPTION TWO would be an across-the-board increase of $2.59, bringing the average residential bill to $17.69, and the bill for seniors to $13.89 per month.

Either option is very comparable to what El Paso residents pay for curbside recycling - $18.94 per month.

Then, Council will likely formally recommend curbside recycling during the Tuesday, September 7^th Council Meeting.

The issue, says Peck, "...is not whether we're running out of landfill space. The issue is what kind of impact do we want to have on our region? Based on the enormous participation we have with drop-off recycling, this community wants curbside, which will dramatically increase our recycling rate. It's the best way we have locally to greatly reduce our solid waste environmental impact."
