2. Recycling and Special Waste Programs Overview
2.1 Residential and Commercial Recycling Program Statistics
2.2 Comparison with National Trends
Over the last few decades, the municipal solid waste industry has changed from a focus on
waste management to sustainable waste management and material reuse. Since the 1980s,
recycling has grown considerably as a method of materials disposal. This growth in recycling
can partly be attributed to evolution of materials collection methods and the advent of single
stream recycling in the 1990s. Single stream recycling simplifies the process for users to
dispose of recycling materials without the need for sorting, leading to a growth in volume.

According to the EPA, “recycling rates have increased from just over 6 percent of MSW
generated in 1960 to about 10 percent in 1980, to 16 percent in 1990, to about 29 percent in
2000, and to over 34 percent in 2015.” It is not uncommon in 2019 for community recycling
programs to achieve waste diversion rates of 30% or more. The highest recycling diversion rate
in the country is the City of San Francisco, which achieved a diversion rate exceeding 80% in the
last five years.
When Augusta’s curbside single‐stream recycling program launched in 2015, staff projected
that usage would mirror national and regional averages with diversion rates near 30%.
However, Augusta has consistently hovered around 16% or less of our total tonnage transferred
to recycling facilities instead of the landfill. In 2018, this number dropped to 14% and is
currently trending near 11%. In short, Augustans have not embraced recycling in the way that
many other communities have, despite the ease of disposal.
2.3 Summary of Existing Curbside Recycling Program
The City of Augusta operates an automated curbside single stream recycle collection system.
Collection occurs once each week on the same designated collection days as trash pickup.
Citizens are also able to drop off recyclables and metal at the recycle drop offs located at 400 S.
Grove. The city’s service is “single‐stream” meaning that all recyclable materials may be
commingled (or mixed) in the same cart.
The city offers blue 96‐gallon Toter carts for curbside collection. An informational sticker
providing instructions regarding eligible recyclables is embedded on the cart lid. The carts used
for the curbside recycle collection system are city property. Each cart has a serial number
assigned to your address. The recycle carts shall not be used as a second cart for trash; the lid
lists all acceptable recycle materials. If non‐recyclable materials are found in the recycle cart,
the cart will not be picked up until the materials are removed or the user of the cart pays a
special pickup fee. Only loose items may be placed in the cart. Participation in the curbside
recycling program is voluntary, but opting out does not reduce a customer’s monthly fee.
2.4 Landfill Coupon Program
In 2013, the City in partnered with Butler County to implement a landfill coupon pilot program
to replace the City’s annual Spring Cleanup event. This program has been extended for the past
six years. The landfill coupon system has the following features:
Automated Curbside Recycling Services Plan
October 2019
City of Augusta, KS 6 | P a g e
Only residential customers within the City limits are eligible
Customers pay no additional cost for the landfill coupon service
City provides plastic coupon cards similar to swimming pool passes
Customers must obtain coupon cards from Utility Office
Coupon cards may be used at any time throughout the year
Customers will transport and dump their own materials at the Butler County landfill
Butler County Landfill will bill the City the following amounts:
- Maximum of $2.00 per coupon used (minimum of $0.50 per load up to $2.00 for up
to one ton of material)
- $0.50 per passenger tire collected—limit of five (5) per customer per year
- $5.00 per appliance w/ refrigeration unit—limit of one (1) per customer per year
Cards expire December 31st each year and cannot be carried over and used in
subsequent years
Butler County will return used cards to City monthly for tracking purposes
Residents will receive two (2) coupons annually—one (1) red card and one (1) blue
card
Each red coupon card can be used to dispose up to a maximum of one (1) ton of
material plus up to five (5) passenger car tires
Each blue coupon card can be used to dispose up to a maximum of one (1) ton of
material plus one (1) appliance with a refrigeration unit
In order to get the coupons your utility
The primary advantage of the landfill coupon system for City residents is that the coupons can
be used throughout the year, whereas the traditional Spring Cleanup event is only available for
two weeks in April. The coupon system is also advantageous in that it extends the landfill’s
nominal cleanup event pricing for the entire year. For example, if citizens took the same
amount of materials allowed by the coupons to the landfill without the coupons during the
County’s annual cleanup, it would cost them $11.50 to dispose of the materials. If citizens took
that same material to the landfill any other time during the year outside of the annual clean up
event, it would cost them an estimated $89.00 to dispose of the materials.

2.5 Bulky Item Pickup
The Augusta Solid Waste division offers a bulky item pickup service to help residents dispose of
bulky items such as furniture, appliances, etc. that will not fit in the 96‐gallon containers for
regular trash pickups. The City offers free landfill coupon cards to dispose of up to four tons of
waste for free at the Butler County landfill if you haul the materials yourself or have someone
else haul it for you.
If residents need the City of Augusta to pick up and dispose of bulky items, the City charges
$20/individual item. No hazardous materials are accepted. No construction debris/roofing
materials are accepted under the bulky item program. Examples of eligible bulky items include
the following:
Mattresses, Bed frames
Furniture (i.e. chairs, sofas, tables, etc.)
Appliances (i.e. refrigerators, microwaves, televisions, etc.)
Lawnmower
Up to five (5) extra bags (that don't fit in the 96‐gallon Toter container) = one bulky item
Up to five (5) standard wood pallets
2.6 Temporary Dumpster Rentals
The City of Augusta offers 2‐yd and 3‐yd commercial dumpsters for rent on a temporary
basis to supplement for smaller projects that do not require a large roll off container.
The dumpsters measure roughly 6'x 6' x 4' and work well for cleaning out your garage or
getting rid of extra rubbish around the house. These containers are not to be utilized
for construction debris, yard waste, hazardous material, or furniture.
2.7 Roll Off Containers
The City offers 10, 20, 30, and 40‐yd roll off containers for larger cleanup projects and
construction & demolition (C&D) debris. The containers are delivered and collected
using a roll off truck.

Automated Residential Curbside Recycle Guide
About the Service
The City of Augusta is implementing a new automated curbside recycle collection system. Collection will occur once each week on the same designated collection days as your trash. With the new automated curbside recycling, the city will no longer provide a drop off point in the Dillon’s parking lot, but citizens will still be able to drop off all recyclables, e-waste, and metal at the recycle center located at 400 S. Grove. The City’s service is “single-stream” meaning that all recyclable materials may be commingled (or mixed) in the same cart. About the Recycle Carts
The carts used for the curbside recycle collection system are City property and assigned to your address. The recycle carts shall not be used as a second cart for trash; the lid lists all acceptable recycle materials. If non-recyclable materials are found in the recycle cart, the cart will not be picked up until the materials are removed or the user of the cart pays a special pickup fee. DO NOT BAG OR PACKAGE RECYCLABLES. ONLY LOOSE ITEMS MAY BE PLACED IN THE CART. Opt Out
Participation in the curbside recycle program is voluntary. To opt out, please contact the Solid Waste Division at 316-775-4560. Placement for Collection
General placement of the recycle carts is shown below. At least 3 feet of separation shall be maintained between the carts, and the area shall be clear of trees, shrubs, mailboxes, parked vehicles, etc. Drivers need an unobstructed path for emptying the carts. Carts may be placed in the curb and gutter pan if the yard grade is too steep for carts to stand upright.
Your cart should be facing the street with the lid fully closed and shall not block the driveway or be away from the curb.
Carts shall be placed for collection between 5 p.m. the day before collection and 6 a.m. the day of collection and removed from the curb the same day as collected.
Automated Residential Curbside Recycle Guide
Caring for Your Recycle Cart

Recyclables shall be prepared by the customer for collection in the following manner:
(a) Aluminum, Tin and Steel Cans. All contents from cans shall be removed and the cans rinsed. Metal lids may remain with the containers, provided they are placed inside the container with all open ends flattened to keep the lids inside. Labels may remain on the containers.

Q: What if I don’t have a truck to haul waste? Try coordinating with your neighbors or other family members to see if you can add your waste to a load they are already planning to haul. There are also several church organizations in town that have assisted with hauling for past Spring Cleanup events that may be willing to help. You can give them your coupons and they will be able to dump the waste for you using your coupons.
Q: Do unused coupons carry over? No. Coupons expire December 31st and cannot be used in subsequent years. The pilot program was extended for additional years, so new coupons will be issued at the beginning of each year in 2014, 2015, etc.
Q: Are there any eligibility requirements? Yes.
