Source Reduction and Recycling Studies

Regional Recycling Rate Benchmarking Study - 2007 [PDF]

In June 2006, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) retained R. W. Beck, Inc. to conduct the Regional Recycling Rate Benchmarking Study. The purpose of this Study is to develop recycling rates for the 16-county North Central Texas region. R. W. Beck has developed residential, ICI (industrial, commercial, and institutional) and overall recycling rates to serve as a benchmark to measure the success of future recycling initiatives.

Phase III Construction and Demolition (C&D) Material Recovery Facility Study- 2007

This study looked at amounts of C&D materials disposed of at a North Texas landfill, including the C&D waste volume, waste sources, and type of C&D waste generated . A twenty-year C&D waste generation planning forecast for the areas served by the landfill was done in order to get a better idea of how projected growth will impact the amount of materials that could potentially be processed at a C&D MRF. A market analysis was conducted within the North Central Texas Region for the sale of possible C&D materials that would be processed at a MRF. Site selection criteria was developed to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages for potential locations and a conceptual MRF was developed.
