FOREWORD
Solid waste management systems are an integral part of the
environment of nearly every citizen in the United States. Yet
until recent years, these systems have not received the attention
other visible residential services have enjoyed. This historical
neglect has resulted in systems which may not be cost-effective,
especially with respect to the rising cost trends encountered in
solid waste management activities. These trends arise from two
principal factors:
* Environmentally sound disposal methodology is being
enforced or strongly encouraged; as a result, disposal
sites and needed equipment are now expensive to procure
and operate.
* The collection function is highly labor intensive.
Thus, the costs of unskilled labor, which have been
rising to meet socioeconomic demands, have had
enormous impacts on local agency budgets.
This rise in cost pressure has forced all levels of
governmental organizations to consider more closely the management
and costs of solid waste management activities.
Because efforts to upgrade solid waste management practices
are in their infancy, there is still an obvious lack of data
bases for evaluative and comparative analyses. This case study
is one in a series of case studies of solid waste management
systems which has been conducted under the sponsorship of the
Office of Solid Waste Management Programs, U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency. Kenneth Shuster and Cindy McLaren served as
EPA project officers on the case study reported herein. The
purpose of these case studies is to fill in this data gap with
actual case histories of how cities are handling their solid
waste problems.
Concerned agencies at all government levels, as well as
private firms, will be able to assess information of the following
types:
* The management and operating characteristics of
public sector solid waste management systems.
* The institutional forces which give rise to these
characteristics.
-------
* Those techniques that have been or are being applied
to enhance the measures of productivity, aesthetics,
level of service, and environmental control.
These agencies and firms can then use these comparisons
to upgrade their systems according to the norms achieved in other
cities of similar size, geographical locations and operational
and institutional characteristics.

INTRODUCTION
The solid waste management system of Kansas City, Missouri,
has had its structure radically altered since 1955 as a result of
environmental statutes, public sector leadership, and private
citizen participation. The collection function has transitioned
from a wholly private sector garbage only operation (under con-
tract to the city) through a public and private sector operation
in which the city collected garbage and private haulers collected
trash, to the current mix of public sector and private sector
combined refuse collection (under contract to the city) opera-
tion. Labor-management negotiations have resulted in upgrading
the city collection force's wages, fringe package and other
benefits.
The most visible and historically recent issues have related
to the disposal function. After extended disputes with a citizen
organization, the city agreed to both suspend plans to open a new
landfill site and to raise capital for a new disposal system by
means of a bond referendum during a city charter revision elec-
tion. Passed on August 8, 1972, the 8.45 million dollar issue
provides for land and facility acquisition once the various
factions resolve the issue of site selection. Resident objections
to site locations, structural problems of landfilling above mined
areas used for storage, need for engineering/economic site
-------
evaluations, problems of locating sices in rv near flood plains,
and political impasses are some of the f-ctors complicating the
site selection issue.
EPA and HUD have recently had some influence on the evolu-
tion of the Kansas City region's solid waste disposal system. By
supporting the design and operation of a model landfill in Kansas
City, Kansas and by involvement in the passage of the Kansas City,
Missouri bond issue for a solid, waste disposal system, these
agencies have helped to pay the groundwork for improved landfill
site selection and operation.
A recently passed Missouri state law, requiring counties to
develop comprehensive solid waste management plans, will also
have impact on the evolution of a regional approach to solid
waste disposal. Kansas City must now coordinate its disposal
function planning with the three counties in which it lies and
with the Mid-America Regional Council, which has the power,of
final approval of the county plans.
The case study of Kansas City, Missouri was performed using
a carefully structured interview technique. Initial contacts
were made by both the Office of Solid Waste Management Programs
and Applied Management Sciences' personnel, and interviews were
scheduled at the convenience of the city personnel. The study
team also interviewed EPA Regional Office personnel. During these
interviews, notes were taken and tape recordings were made after
obtaining permission from the interviewees, Extensive efforts
were made to require a minimum of city personnel time and whenever
possible, existing documentation was solicited to support the
general discussions. Figure 1 presents the titles of the people
interviewed in Kansas City, the dates of these interviews, and the
types of information obtained.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The solid waste management system of Kansas City has several
interesting characteristics. First, is the nature of the service
operation. Collection occurs on a four-day, ten-hour basis for
city forces. Second, the outer, less dense areas are collected
by private sector contractors who bid for these routes on an
annual basis. Third, to improve system efficiency, the city
operation has gone to mandatory use of plastic bags for refuse
storage, resulting in a high rate of voluntary citizen curbside
setout. Fourth, the city uses a shuttle system in which full
trucks are driven to the landfills and crews continue to work
with other trucks in the collection zone. Crew time is thus
optimized. Also a large extra-board labor pool is utilized to
provide for absentee replacement and to minimize direct labor
expenses, as city forces are paid time-and-a-half for overtime".
Passage in 1968 of local laws banning open burning and of
state laws in 1954-55 prohibiting collection of wet, uncooked
refuse for livestock feeding have greatly impacted the evolution
of the system. A state law passed in 1972 requiring the creation
of county solid waste management plans is stimulating the current
search for acceptable solid waste disposal sites.
Lack of acceptable disposal sites, lack of sufficient cover
material, and strong citizen reaction to their initial exclusion
9
-------
from city disposal system planning are factors which have con-
tributed to the current problems of disposal site selection.
Two of the three city landfills have recently been closed as
they were filled to capacity: no replacement sites have yet
been opened. The need for economical disposal sites, the need for
for a state plan, and the recently passed 8.45 million dollar
disposal system bond issue are pressures which will eventually
force solution of this issue.
The 'city sanitation administration is well-staffed with
highly professional personnel. A large amount of detailed opera-
tional data is kept on a weekly basis. Management is intimately
involved in committee efforts for disposal system planning and
has undertaken detailed alternative systems comparisons and
solid waste generation projections. Coordination is maintained
with the regional council of governments (MARC) regarding plan-
ning efforts. In effect, Kansas City has one of the most closely
managed systems of the cities studied.
The city is under strong pressure to ccntinuously improve
system efficiency, as the system costs are high.—' The use of
plastic bags, the 4-10 workweek, the extra-board labor pool, and
the evaluation of one-man packer vehicles are some of the major
aspects of the city's efforts to improve efficiency. Also, the
use of contractors for residential collection provides both
flexibility and pressure for improvement of city collection
efficiency. The city has taken an innovative stance towards the
solution of its problems.
- System costs include provision of plastic bags, collection and'
disposal operations, and an overhead burden. Thus, while costs
are relatively high, level of service and burden must be
considered.
10
-------
The relatively close working relationship between the city
and the union enhances the city's ability to implement change.
Wages are competitive, time-and-a-half is paid for overtime (an
exception to the rule in Kansas City), labor demands generally
have been met, and the fringe package is comprehensive. It is
expected that the city will soon move to adopt an ordinance
permitting it to enter into a contract with the union.
From a financial perspective, Kansas City is one of the few
cities where solid waste activities are financed rather directly
from an earnings tax. Based on the city's commitment to improve
the level of service of refuse collection, a tax increase was
passed as part of an overall package of increased city services
and that commitment has been met. The city now picks up mixed
refuse and bulky wastes from all residential dwellings containing
six or less dwelling units and, on a quarterly basis, provides
plastic bags for refuse storage. The major problem with bags
appears to be attack from domestic animals, and too few bags for
higher waste generation stops. The cost of the total system is
not inexpensive. Collection costs per ton appear very high com-
pared to other sites studied: however, this situation is
apparently linked to a relatively large administration force,
low waste generation per dwelling unit, high equipment mainten-
ance costs, the cost of plastic bags (purchase, storage,
delivery) and, a general overhead burden billed against the
system operation by the city. However, citizen satisfaction is
high, complaints are quickly handled and the labor force is
stable.
Major future problems are the need to locate acceptable and
economically feasible disposals sites and the need to develop a
solid waste management plan acceptable to MARC, the three contig-
uous counties and the state. If the city opts to purchase one-
man trucks, the labor force will have to be adjusted and
11
-------
an unfavorable union reaction is likely to occur. However,
rising labor costs and the acceptance of plastic bags and curb-
side collection make such an option attractive. Disposal site
selection and solid waste management plan development are two
sides of the same coin. Both sets of issues will have to be
simultaneously resolved, a difficult task given the current
political situation with respect to citizen involvement and
disposal site contraints.
Solid v/aste management activities in Kansas City are suc-
cessful because of the innovative and open-minded positions
taken by both management and labor. Innovative programs are
implemented because management takes care to plan its approach
carefully and to provide incentives for the acceptance of new
methods. Labor is generally cooperative and willing to listen
and negotiate. Citizen reaction has resulted in inclusion of
interested citizens in the disposal system planning process.
The private sector has been responsibe to contracting opportuni-
ties and the bid cost per stop has decreased each year since
contract service was initiated in 1971. While some difficulties
are clearly facing the system, it is also evident that the able
and aggressive management will be capable of resolving the issues
and servicing the city.

BACKGROUND OF THE SYSTEM
Incorporated in 1850 as the Town of Kansas by the Jackson
County Court, the City of Kansas City, Missouri, today is the
second most populous city in the state. Kansas City lies within
the boundaries of three counties; Jackson, Clay and Platte, and
is located on the western boundary of the state at the junction
of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, 140 miles south of the Iowa-
Missouri border. The Kansas City Standard Metropolitan Statis-
tical Area (SMSA) consists of six counties, four in Missouri
(Platte, Clay, Jackson and Cass) and two in Kansas (Johnson and
Wyandotte). This region had a total 1970 population of 1,291,900.
Often referred to as the "Heart of America", Kansas City is within
250 miles of the geographic center of the U.S. and also the center
of population.
4.1: Location, Demography, Economic Base, and Climate
Kansas City, Missouri, largest city of the Greater Kansas
City Area, and covering 316 square miles, is situated on the
western border of Missouri Rivers — 94 degrees 35' west longi-
tude, 39 degrees 08' north latitude. Topographic variations range
from a minimum elevation of 745 feet along the river-floor plain
to a maximum elevation of 1005 feet. The rivers are a prominent
topographic feature with the greatest variation in topography
occurring adjacent to the flood plains. Consolidated rock occurs
at shallow depths throughout the region, limiting the amount of
13
-------
cover materials available for landfill operations. There are
more than 3,740 acres of parkland in the city, connected by a
150-mile park drive and boulevard system. The Country Club
district, in the southern part of the city, has gained inter-
national attention as a model for city planning.
Kansas City, Missouri, is the twenty-sixth largest city in
the United States. The SMSA population is projected to reach
1,324,000 by the end of 1973. Kansas City's 1972 population was
estimated at 513,887, up 38,000 from 1960 and 57,000 from 1950.
Total SMSA employment was 596,000 as of the spring of 1973, with
the rate of unemployment remaining in the 4.5 percent to 4.8
percent range. Approximately 86 percent, of the city's population
lives in the Jackson County portion of the city. Household
median income is $9;165 and the racial distribution for the SMSA
is 87 percent white, 13 percent black and other races.
The Kansas City SMSA has a net effective buying income of
$5,233,652,000. Fifty-seven percent of the households have an
income greater than $8,000 per year. For the seven county
region, the 1990 population is projected to be almost three
million, up 1.7 million from the 1970 population level. Approxi-
mately one-half of the region's 1970 population resided in
Jackson County, Missouri.
The primary source of public revenues for Kansas City is
the real estate tax. This revenue is used to finance the city
and county government operations and the operations of respective
school districts. Kansas City also has a 1 percent earnings tax
based on gross income. A proposed increase in this earnings
tax, from i to 1 percent, was considered and passed in 1970 and,
as part of the total new revenues generated, it served as a means
of financing an expanded and combined refuse collection service,
including the use of plastic storage bags supplied by the city at
a rate of ten bags per residence per month.

Within the region, the seven counties (including Leavenworth
County, Kansas) contain thirty cities with populations greater
than 2,500. Of the total region, less than one-third (or 920
square miles) is expected to be urbanized by 1990. As of 1971,
twenty-one land disposal sites, not including the EPA-sponsored
MARC demonstration landfill, served the region. In addition
to contributing to a shortage of cover material, the presence
of bedrock at shallow depths impedes the downward flow of ground-
water, causing lateral water travel. The Kansas City landfill
lies in the Blue River flood plain behind a levee and is a possi-
ble water pollution problem, as the Kansas and Missouri Rivers
are the major water supply sources for the region.
The Kansas City area is subject to the wide seasonal
temperature variations common to the midwestern plains. The
mean annual temperature is 56.8 F, July is the warmest month
with a mean temperature of 81.5 F, and January is the coldest
with a mean temperature of 31.7 F. The average annual rain-
fall is 34.07 inches, June being the wettest month. Regional
climatologic and topographic conditions are favorable for
pollutant dispersion in the atmosphere. Photochemical smog
has not yet been prevalent in the metropolitan area. Particu-
late matter has been the major atmospheric pollutant.
4.2: Form of Government and Organization
4.2.1: Form of Government
The government of Kansas City is considered a "home rule"
type of government under the Missouri constitution. That is,
it has framed and adopted a home rule charter rather than
operating directly under state law adopted by the state legis-
lature for various classes of cities. Kansas City has had three
charters for home rule; adopted in 1889, 1908 and 1925. The
1925 home rule charter established the "council-manager" form
of government under which Kansas City now operates.
15
-------
The powers of administration are vested in the City Council,
composed of a mayor, elected at large, and twelve councilmen.
All are elected for four-year terms. Six councilmen are elected
from districts and six are elected by all the voters (each of
the councilmen-at-large must come from one of the six districts).
The mayor has all the powers and duties of a councilman
and is president of the Council. He is the official head of
city government and serves as city spokesman and host. He
appoints members to advisory boards and commissions, is an ex-
officio member of the Board of Police Commissioners, signs all
Council ordinances and authorized contracts and bonds.
The current home rule charter, Sections 20, 21 and 22, set
forth the conditions, qualifications, salary, responsibility,
and duties of the city manager. He is the professional chief
administrative officer who serves at the pleasure of the Council,
appoints department directors, and supervises the administrative
affairs of the city's operation. Under the charter, the Council
also appoints the City Clerk and the City Auditor.
4.2.2: Organization
Figure 2 depicts the organizational structure of the
Kansas City government. The administration of the city's
solid waste management system is the responsibility of the Public
Works Department, one of the largest segments (over 800 employees)
of the city government. In addition to the solid waste
system, the Public Works Department is responsible for a broad
range of services and functions.
Figure 3 presents the organization of the Department of
Public Works. The Department consists of four major divisions,
each having its own area of responsibility. Solid waste collec-
tion and disposal functions for residential and some commercial
clients are the responsiblity of the Refuse Division, directed

by a sanitary engineer who serves as Chief of Solid Waste
Services. Street cleaning is the responsibility of the Super-
intendent of Street Maintenance, and is located in another
division. The Refuse Division's chief reports to the Operations
Engineer, who is also responsible for enforcement of building
codes, dangerous building removal, motorized equipment mainte-
nance, and street lighting design and maintenance.
It should be noted that the Department of Public Works main-
tains relatively extensive data collection activities to monitor
its solid waste functions. While not automated except for
financial statements, the data are apparently quite accurate and
up-to-date.
The organization chart of the Refuse Division is presented
in Figure 4. It should be noted that the Administration branch
is a relatively large group but is' responsible for its own
payroll/personnel/purchasing records, for receipt of customer
complaints for both city and private contractor collection
functions, and for inspection of private contract operations.
This branch provides the excellent data acquisition and analysis
services to the division.
The Collection branch maintains its own office operations
and manages the city's collection operations for mixed refuse, '
bulky items, and dead animals. It is also responsible for the
distribution of plastic bags to all city residents for refuse
storage. The only exclusion are those residential associations
which contract directly with private haulers for higher levels of
service. The associations are reimbursed by the city for the
estimated costs to be incurred if the city or one of its contrac-
tors were to collect their refuse. The reimbursement contracts
are administered by the Refuse Division. A labor pool is avail-
able to this branch for extra personnel as needed.

4.3: Solid Waste Management History
Prior to 1955, all residential garbage was collected by private
haulers on a city-hauler contract basis. In 1955, the city bought
thirty-five, thirteen-yard packer trucks and ran them for thirteen
years with the original chassis and packer bodies. They were re-
placed in 1967 with the current fleet. The city's entry into sepa-
rate garbage collection in 1955 resulted from a state law which re-
quired that garbage used for hog feeding be cooked. The private
contractor wouldn't do this. Also, the city charter was modified am
the contract period for garbage collection was reduced from ten
years to an annual basis.
Since 1964, the city's solid waste management system has un-
dergone extensive operational modification. In 1964, the city
manager appointed a new Director of Public Works and, in 1965 a
new Operations Engineer was appointed. Solid waste systems im-
provement was one of their major objectives. In 1964, the city
collected only "wet" garbage on a once a week basis. Household
storage was in cans either at ground level or in sunken pits.
Trash was privately collected on an individual homeowner-
contractor basis and was stored in 55 gallon steel barrels. Open
dumping was the disposal technique and burning refuse was quite
common. The dumps were covered on an irregular basis and cover
material was in short supply. Backyard burning of both wet garbage
and trash was commonplace. Also, the city had maintained a prac-
tice of collecting commercial garbage stops on a daily basis. Flat-
bed trucks were used to pick up full 35-gallon barrels and replace
them with empties. This operation was stopped by the Department
of Public Works in July of 1970 and no commerical stops have been
collected since that date.
21
-------
The first stage of transition began in July 1968 when the
City council imposed a ban on open burning both at the dumps and
in backyards, The Department of Public Works had to bring the
three city-operated landfills into compliance. Fund shortages
and lack of readily available cover material for the site then
operated were the major problems. Over the next two years, the
city operated two interim (short life) sites and continued the
operation at one long term site. The interim sites were com-
pleted and closed between May 1972 and August 1973. The long
term site is expected to reach capacity by the spring of 1974.
All of these efforts were financed from the General Fund.
In December 1970., the City Council passed an Ordinance to
increase the local earnings tax from its current level of J- per-
cent to 1 percent of taxable income (wages and salaries). This
step represented the second stage 'of transition in that a portion
of the incremental funds of the tax increase were earmarked to
provide for a combined refuse and trash collection service, with
disposal bags to be supplied to the residences by the city at a
rate of ten bags per month. The earnings tax increase was
actually an alternative funding mechanism to a service charge of
$2.50 per residence per month passed by the Council in 1969 but
rescinded shortly after passage. The service charge propositi9n
was delayed and later rescinded when the voters turned down a
December 1969 Bond Proposal package that would have resulted in
a general tax increase (proposition called for a tax increase and
issuance of bonds).
On March 1, 1971 the city began its combined collection
service on a dual basis: part of the stops (approximately half)
were to be collected by the city crews and part of the stops were
to be collected by the private sector under contract to the city.
Also, a number of areas were organized as homes' associations
22
-------
which contracted directly with the private haulers for refuse
collection and received rebates from the city for the city's
estimate of the cost of their service. The city had defined
routes to be serviced by one truck on a weekly basis and had ad-
vertised for bids. Nineteen such routes were established and
private haulers could submit bids for any set of routes they
wished to service. Contractors were and are now required to pay
disposal fees to the city if they use city disposal sites.
As an aside, the Metropolitan Planning Commission of
the Kansas City Region (Metroplan) undertook a study to develop
a regional solid waste plan, using services from the Aerojet
General Corporation and Black and Veatch Consulting Engineers.
The study was published in May, 1971 and was sponsored by a
Federal grant received in March, 1968 from the U.S. Public Health
Service under Section 206 of the 1965 Solid Waste Disposal Act.
The city's Department of Public Works actively participated in the
study effort as part of a Technical Advisory Committee on Solid
Waste. The study recommended new ordinances, planning require-
ments, and an "optimal" regional solid waste system. To the
extent ascertainable, few if"any of the study recommendations
have been implemented. Metroplan's successor organization,
the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) has received HUD and EPA
funds for a demonstration model landfill located in Kansas City,
Kansas.
Upon initiation of the combined refuse collection service
(March, 1971), the city also began city-wide use of plastic bags.
Pilot testing of plastic refuse storage bags began in April,
1969 with their experimental use by 500 residences in a medium
income area for a period of three months. In December 1968, a
second experiment involving 7,200 homes in low income areas was
initiated for a two-year period following the 1968 civil disorders
23
-------
This experiment was funded through Interim Assistance funds re-
ceived from the Federal government for repair and cleanup
operations. From July 1970 through February 1971, 13,400 homes
in the low income Model Cities area began a third, one-year test
of the plastic bags. Model Cities paid the actual cost of $26
per year per dwelling unit.
Currently, the city accepts bids for plastic refuse storage
bags on an annual basis and maintains a three-month inventory on
hand in case of transportation or production delays or strikes.
The city has developed detailed bag specifications used as a
basis for bid solutions from potential suppliers. Currently,
Union Carbide provides 2 mil polyethylene bags at a current cost
to the city of $0.9899 per package of thirty bags. While commer-
cial bags experience a failure rate of 200 per 1,000 bags, the
city-supplied bags experience a failure rate of only 10 to 20 per
1,000 bags used. Bags are distributed continuously to each stop
on a quarterly basis by city bag delivery crews. The city has
instituted a random sample quality control plan to ensure bag
quality by inspection upon delivery.
While curbside pickup is not mandatory in Kansas City, it is
interesting to note that 87 percent of the residents now volun-
tarily set their bags out at curbside. This gradual shift to-
curbside pickup has certainly contributed to the productivity
of both private and city crews. Private contractor bids have de-
creased each year for the three years of combined collection
operations. Also, the city collection crews and disposal work-
force gradually evolved from a conventional 5-day, 8-hour week
to a 4-day, 10-hour week interval from October 1969 to March of
1971.
Perhaps the most visible current and historic public solid
waste issue concerns the disposal function. In January of 1971,
the city began operation of the Raytown Road landfill site on
24
-------
the Municipal Farm property, The site was filled by May 1972 and
city operations were shifted to expand the Chouteau site inside
the levee system. In the fall of 1971, the city began to look
for a new disposal site. The Municipal Farm, west of Interstate
Route 435, had an available area of 100 acres and in December
1971 the City Development Department designated it as a future
fill site. The site was to be developed out of a current operating
budget and plans were prepared "in--house." Site improvements,
needed by 1972, were not made as the funding was not available.
These planning efforts were precipitated by state law requiring
the counties to develop solid waste management plans by January
1974. (See Appendix A.)
In early 1972, the Mayor appointed a Bond Issue Advisory
Committee to study the city's capital needs for refuse disposal.
Initial committee recommendations were too large a,nd the Council
wanted the bond issue scaled down. Of the final figure of 30
million dollars, 8.45 million dollars were earmarked for acqui-
sition of land and facilities for solid waste disposal.
In early 1972, when the city attempted to begin development
of the Municipal Farm landfill site, residents of the Eastwood
Hill's area, through an established neighborhood organization
(Eastwood Hills Homes Association), waged a highly publicized
campaign to prevent the 100-acre Municipal Farm site from being
used for landfill. Public relations efforts, data from the
Metropolitan study, local university expertise, and informa-
tion from the Army Corps of Engineers (which showed that the
proposed site was prone to flooding) were used to prevent site
implementation. By June of 1972, the Association had effec-
tively blocked use of the Municipal Farm site and had managed
to influence the Bond Committee to earmark 8.45 million dollars
of the August, 1972 bond referendum for solid waste disposal
25
-------
purposes. The Association agreed that it would campaign for the
total bond issue referendum if the city agreed to postpone the
use of the Municipal Farm acreage as a landfill. The Council
agreed to this on June 23, 1972. (See Appendix B. }
The interesting political aspect of the bond referendum was
that it was being held as part of a City Charter Revision election,
In city history, no bond issue had ever passed during a primary
election. The Bond Promotion Committee and the Association both
campaigned for bond passage, which included municipal court bonds.
Interestingly, the strategy for the Bond Promotion Committee was
formulated by a coalition of industry, local officials, and EPA
representatives. The disposal bonds passed by 71 percent of the
vote, while the municipal court bonds failed to carry.
Following passage of the bonds, the primary issue became
selection of disposal sites. The City Council considered but
did not pass an ordinance to release some $78,000 for a local
consultant's study of site and facility options. The city
established a working taskforce consisting of personnel from
Public Works, Budget, City Development, MARC, and EPA, who
would work under a guidance committee (consisting of the Director
of Public Works, 2 Councilmen, the Director of City Development,
the Executive Director of MARC, and an Assistant City Manager.
While the initial studies of the working taskforce were being
carried out, the representative of the Eastwood Hills Homes
Association lobbied extensively for citizen participation in the
disposal system planning effort. In January, 1973, the Council
passed a resolution creating a Citizens' Advisory Committee
on Solid Waste, with each Councilman's district being repre-
sented by two appointed citizens. This citizens' committee
began operation in April, 1973, and included representation from
the Eastwood Hills Homes Association, the Apartment Owners'
Association, the Citizens' Environmental Council, the private
refuse haulers, and the League of Women Voters.
26
-------
From April to June; 1973, the working taskforce and the
citizens' committee studied fourteen alternative disposal systems
identified by city personnel and presented recommendations to
the City Council. The recommendations were that sanitary landfill
was the only viable disposal method and that recycling was not
economically feasible at this time. However, it was recommended
that sites include space for future use of shredding and recovery
equipment. The groups then reviewed thirteen potential landfill
sites and identified three final sites for consideration. These
sites were:
(1) Hoover Site - 640 acres, now a limestone quarry, which
would serve as a long-term site
(2) Great Midwest Site - 360 acres of a 440-acre
partially mined quarry, which would serve as a long-
term site (would need extensive engineering study
to evaluate the strength of mine pillars, approximately
$100,000: appraisers won't set market Value without
the study); site is opposed by a number of residents.
(3) Hidden Valley Park - a two-year site owned by the city,
now partially parkland.
Engineering studies are needed to determine structure feasibility,
accessibility and haul costs, cover material availability and
i
costs for all the sites. However, the Council has not yet
authorized any engineering studies. Some members of the Council
have demanded that the Municipal Farm site and one other site
(Jerry Smith's Farm site) also be considered along with the
three recommended sites. Essentially, a political impasse is
blocking further site selection action.
As the city plan becomes finalized, it is expected that the
three counties will incorporate the city plan into their state-
required county plan, due in January, 1974 for Jackson County
27
-------
and six moptfts larer for Clay and i-latte Counties. While
Counties have the vlght to disapprove the city plan, it is not
likely they would do BO, Ihe MARC must approve the set of five
county plans by June 30, 1974, per state law. In terms of the
city plan, the city feels that the residential collection function
is now well under control and is therefore focusing its efforts
on the disposal function. The city will "look at" better regula-
tion of the commercial and industrial sectors' waste collection
within the next two to five years, in response to hazardous waste
statutes as they evolve. The city does monitor the privately
owned southeast Jaadfill, but expects to turn that responsibility
over to the state iu 1974. The city plan is being developed by
the Director of Public Works, the working task force of the Solid
Waste Committee, and the City Planning and Development Department.
MARC staff attend all planning meetings "by invitation."
In summary, the evolution of the Kansas City solid waste
management system in the last twenty years has been both multi-
faceted and complex. Changes in level of service, public sector-
private sector mix, use of bags, shift to a 4-day, 10-hour work
week, and the highly public Issue-oriented disposal system planning
effort have all contributed to this system's sporadic but continu-
ous modernization. Federal and state laws have stimulated a number
of the changes incurred. Finally, the private citizens of the" city
have taken a very aggressive role in guiding the system evolution,
especially disposal function implementation.
4.4: Agencies Impacting the Solid Waste Management System
There have been a number of agencies on the Federal, state,
county and local levels which have directly or indirectly affected
the operations of the Kansas City Refuse Division. The following
subsections summarize the nature of their influence.
28
-------
4.4,1; Federal Level Agencies
The EPA, in promulgation of Federal statutes concerning
air pollution had an effect in the eventual state ban on open
burning. The "no burning" ban resulted in an Increased volume
at two sites and decreased their useful life. The Chouteau
burning dump was converted to a sanitary landfill operation. Also,
EPA Regional Office personnel have been have been involved in the
development of plans for the city's disposal system. Federal
"solid waste regulations also have had an impact in terms of the
state's promulgation of its own solid waste regulation act, which
requires county plans for solid waste systems.
A model sanitary landfill demonstration project, developed
by MARC, was jointly sponsored by HUD and EPA. The 46-acre
landfill is located in Kansas City, Kansas and is used, to some
degree, by Kansas City, Missouri collection agencies. Prelimi-
nary site analysis studies were funded by the U.S. Public Health
Service in 1965, under a 2/3-1/3 (Federal-local) grant authorized
by the 1965 Solid Waste Disposal Act, Section 206. HUD under-
wrote the funding for land acquisition and relocation of families
on the site. EPA and Kansas City, Kansas have jointly funded
the site's operating costs. EPA is providing approximately one
million dollars over the three-year design life of the project.
The site charges disposal fees and currently accepts 575 tons per
day.
Both Model Cities and Interim Assistance funds were used
by the city to upgrade services to low-income and riot-torn
areas of the city. By using these funds to test the feasibility
of plastic bag mixed refuse storage, the city was able to achieve
sufficient experience to move towards city-wide use of plastic
bags at the time of the March, 1971 shift to combined refuse
collection by both city forces and by private haulers under
contract to the city.
29
-------
It Is apparent that the city is already aware of the probable
future impact of hazardous waste regulations, once these are imple-
mented by Federal and state statute. This is the obvious future
impact to be felt by the city in terms of Federal agency stimu-
lus .
4.4.2: State Level Agencies
The State Division of Health, as of June 30, 1973, has the
responsibility for issuing permits for operation of solid waste
processing facilities or disposal areas. The law (Appendix A-l)
also provides for state monitoring and regulation of facility
design and operation.
In addition to various restrictive provisions, the law
also requires all counties, or combinations of cities and counties,
to provide for collection and disposal of solid wastes within their
boundaries. Governmental units are given taxation and user charge
powers to finance such services. Of primary importance is the
requirement that counties containing all or part of a city of
450,000 or more in population must adopt a plan by January 1,
1974 for a county-wide solid waste management system. By
June 30, 1974, the officially adopted plan must be submitted
to the Division of Health. Sections 5 and 6 of the law specify
the plan's requirements and the division's responsibilities,
respectively.
Special guidelines have been established by the state for
the MARC area (Appendix A-2). Besides defining criteria for the
MARC area system, the guidelines require that both MARC and the
State Division of Health review and approve the plans of the
counties within the MARC area. The five Missouri counties in
the MARC area are: Jackson, Platte, Ray, Clay, and Cass.
4.4.3: Regional Level Agencies
MARC (Mid-America Regional Council), the successor to the
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission and the Mid-America
30
-------
Council of Governments, is an umbrella agency responsible for
area-wide planning. A HUD funded A-95 review agency, it includes
in its membership five counties in Missouri and three in Kansas.
Also members of MARC are the cities of: Kansas City, Missouri;
Kansas City, Kansas; Independence, Missouri; and Overland Park,
Kansas. It took over the two years of landfill planning effort
by its predecessor, Metroplan, and is responsible for the demon-
stration landfill operation. It is responsible for a wide range
of regional planning activities and for implementation of a
number of public services on an area-wide basis. MARC has the
authority to both review and approve the Missouri county solid
waste plans, which will include the plans for the three counties
containing sections of Kansas City, Missouri. MARC began formal
operation in early 1972.
It is expected that MARC will have a broad impact on the
nature of solid waste services in the region. Primary effects
will be on the nature and location of landfill disposal sites.
There is no clear indication of the extent to which collection
operations will be affected by MARC's activities and state-
assigned review and approval powers.
4.4.4: County Level Agencies
As noted, Kansas City, Missouri, is contained in three
counties: Clay, Jackson and Platte. The Blue River basin,
in which the city's Raytown - Municipal Farm Landfill is located,
runs through the western portion of Jackson County. The follow-
ing table lists the total 1970 population of each county and
the population from each county residing in Kansas City.

-------
As is apparent, Jackson County contains over half the land
area and over 85 percent of Kansas City's population. Kansas
City residents are a majority of the residents of Jackson County.
The major solid waste planning activity in response to the state
requirements is being carried out by the city. The counties
are attempting to carry out some planning activity, but appear
to be following the lead of the city in these efforts. The city
is providing nominal assistance to the counties, primarily Jackson,
.for solid waste planning purposes. For these reasons, the primary
county contact made by the study team was with Jackson County's
Department of Puclic Works.
The Jackson County Department of Public Works is responsi-
ble for administering all county roads, highways, streets, sewers,
bridges, and dams. It operates and maintains all county buildings,
physical facilities, and equipment. With the passing of the
Missouri Senate Bill 387 (the solid waste regulation and planning
act), this department became responsible for preparing a county
solid waste management plan which must receive approval from the
Mid-America Regional Council.
Currently, Jackson County operates its own sanitary land-
fill. This landfill was started in March, 1973, and evolved
from a series of burning dumps, first on the Blue River, and
then on Quarry Road. These were under the supervision of the
County Highway Engineer, an elected official. In 1970, Jackson
County changed to a charter (home rule) form of government and
now the administrative functions of the county are managed
by appointed directors. The Jackson County landfill handles
approximately 17 tons per day of refuse brought in by county
residents including those from Kansas City. One caterpillar D-6
tractor with two men operate the 30-acre site. There is no
charge for this service, which is designed to alleviate the open
dumping on roadsides in the county.
32
-------
A significant factor in locating landfills in Jackson County
is the Little Blue Valley flood plain. The Little Blue Valley
is the drainage basin of the Little Blue River and covers one
third of Jackson County as shown in Figure 5. It covers 224
square miles, ranges from 2 to 13 miles in width, and is 30
miles in length. The flood plain contains about 15,000 acres
which are subject to flooding. A planned comprehensive flood'
damage prevention program is being sponsored by Jackson County.
Metropolitan area development is rapidly expanding into the
valley and subsequent solid waste generation in this area will
pose a future collection and disposal problem.
4.4.5: Local Level Agencies
At the local level, there are a number of organizations which
have had impact on the Kansas City solid waste system. These
organizations include the local union which represents the blue
collar workforce, two local associations organized to focus on
solid waste issues, and the League of Women Voters.
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees
Local No. 500 of AFSCME is the recognized bargaining agent
for all "classified" or blue collar workers in Kansas City, except
for mechanics and police and fire personnel. The union member-
ship includes 90 percent of the city's refuse collection workforce.
The local's president is a city employee. Presently, the union
has no contract with the city, as state law does not make such
bargaining mandantory. State law also prohibits public employees
from going on strike. The union does have a dues checkoff pro-
cedure with the city. The city's "Personnel Rules and Regula-
tions" establish a standard grievance procedure for all employees.
In July, 1972, the union presented a series of demands during
a one-day meeting with the Director of Public Works. The issues
were:

FIGURE 5; LITTLE BLUE RIVER FLOOD PLAIN AREA
-------
e Time-and-a-half for overtime
• Need for three-man collection crews
• Provision of uniforms by the city and daily uniform
changes
® Shower and restroom facilities
The union was ready to defy the law and strike if these issues
were not resolved. The demands were essentially met by the city,
not by changing its operating rules, but by changing the operating
policy of the Department of Public Works.
The union began its activities in 1960 with a 22 point
program of worker needs. In 1962, a pension plan was instituted.
By 1973, all of the points were achieved with the exception of
a contract and a longevity salary bonus plan. Fringe benefits
and salary levels have been made competitive with local industry.
Sick leave, vacation time, health' and welfare benefits, retire-
ment and other fringe items have been upgraded. In essence,
the union has been very effective while negotiating under the
constraints of no contract and no strike situations.
One of the future issues from the union's viewpoint is
the changing of state law to force the city to enter into con-
tracts with the Union. The current law permits cities to
enter into contracts with unions but does not make such bar- -
gaining mandantory. The city recognizes that the law may be
changed and is preparing for labor-management negotiations.
The union appears to have developed a close working relation-
ship with the city administrator. Demands generally have not
been excessive and the city has been responsive to union requests.
As the city has reduced the areas of the city it collects (due
to closing of landfills and equipment age), the number of collec-
tors has decreased. Personnel were reduced by transfer or
normal attrition. The city has managed to keep its labor costs
35
-------
reasonable by three techniques; a shuttle system in which extra
trucks are put into collection zones and an effective crew of
three per truck is maintained; a labor pool oi temporary employees
to fill absent positions; and, the shifting of routes from city
to private contractor collection. A shift from the normal work-
week to a 4-day, 10-hour workweek, precipitated by the issue of
working scheduled overtime at straight-time rates, has reduced
absenteeism and improved morale. (The shuttle system and the "4
and 10" workweek are further discussed in Chapter 5.)
As a last facet in labor-management relations, the city car-
ries out an annual employee performance review (see Appendix C
for evaluation report form),
Eastwood Hills Homes Association
This association was formed in 1972 to fight the city's
planned expansion of the Raytown Road - Municipal Farm landfill.
The additional 100 acres would have been an eyesore to the
residents of the Eastwood Hills area, which overlooks the pro-
posed site. As previously discussed, the association success-
fully fought the site implementation, helped to pass a disposal
bond issue under unusual conditions, and managed to have the
city form a Citizens' Advisory Committee on Solid Waste. The
association has exerted a powerful influence on disposal system
planning by use of the local media, by citizen campaigns, and by
use of existing data, studies and local professionals with
environmental backgrounds.
Citizens' Environmental Council
The C.E.C. is a non-profit umbrella organization with over
300 individual members and 45 member organizations, including
other environmentally oriented groups and commercial organiza-
tions. Organized in 1970, its basic purposes are to influence
city actions which affect the environment and to serve as a
clearinghouse for other groups' activities.
36
-------
In July 1971,, it established permanent vans for newspaper
collection and recycling in five locations, primarily shopping
centers. From July 1972 to .'July 1973, this program—in coopera-
tion with the Packaging Corporation of America—collected almost
2.5 million pounds of paper. Its STEP program (Save The Environ-
ment, Please) ran for fifteen months and utilized a grinder/
baler facility to recover glass, cans and paper. Using volunteer
workers, the STEP program collected over 500,000 pounds of glass,
almost a million pounds of paper, and over 400,000 pounds of tin
cans.
The C.E.C. managed to have Black and Veatch, a local con-
sulting firm, provide two engineers for a study of recovered
material marketability. In September 1972, the report indicated
that there was no economically viable local market for recovered
materials.
The C.E.C.'s overriding goal is citizen awareness and
participation. It wants to help inform residents that landfills
can be well run and that plastic bags are a good innovation. The
C.E.C. notes, however, that plastic bags for combined refuse col-
lection thwart the concept of source separation, as the system is
now being run. The C.E.C. has representation on the Citizens'
Advisory Committee for Solid Waste.
League of Women Voters
The League has had active representation on the Citizens
Advisory Committee for Solid Waste. Unfortunately, local repre-
sentatives were not available for interview during the site visit,
so the full scope of the League's activities regarding solid
waste issues could not be determined.
Other Organizations
While not directly impacting the city, it is evident that the
engineering consulting firm of Black and Veatch has had extensive
37
-------
involvement in regional solid waste planning studies and in site
engineering studies, Mid-West Research Institute, located in
Kansas City, Kansas has also been active in both local and
national solid waste resource recovery studies.
38

SOLID WASTE SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
The Department of Public Works is responsible for the
collection and disposal of essentially all of the city's residen-
tial refuse and bulky wastes, and for street cleaning operations.
Within the department, the Refuse Division is responsible for
administration of the city's joing public-private sector collection
and disposal operations. The Street Maintenance Division is
responsible for street sweeping and flushing operations. The
Refuse Division does not collect abandoned vehicles, construction/
demolition wastes, special or hazardous wastes, commercial or
industrial wastes, or sewage treatment residues. The city's
landfill will accept sewage grip for disposal. The division's
moving equipment is services by the Motor Equipment Division,
also within the Department of Public Works.
Residential stops of less than seven units are collected
by either the city or by one of six private haulers under contract
to the city. Some 11,000 residents, belonging to thirty-six
homeowners' associations, contract directly with private haulers
for refuse collection and receive a rebate averaging $18.42
per house per year from the city through contracts administered
by the Refuse Division. The city provides and delivers thirty
plastic bags per quarter to each dwelling unit that it or its
contractors collect, and all waste must be so bagged. Mixed
refuse is collected on a once-a-week basis and the bags may be
placed anywhere as long as they are above ground level and visible.
39
-------
Currently, 87 percent of the residents voluntarily place their
bags at curbsidet The city collects all bulky items using from
two to five flat bed trucks. Lot cleaning is also carried out
by approximately six older personnel who were excess personnel
when the shuttle system was implemented,
Currently, the city operates one sanitary landfill which is
limited to accept city refuse from city vehicles only. City
packers may also use the MARC demonstration landfill and a private
fill located in the southeast sector of the city. The city had
operated three sites until May 1972 when the Raytown Road site
was closed down. The Blue River Road site was closed down in
August 1972. As previously discussed, the city is attempting
to locate and evaluate alternative disposal landfill sites under
pressure of the need for county plans and a recently passed dis-
posal bond issue. The MARC and the private southeast fill are
more convenient to certain collection zones and are used by the
city to avoid long haul distances, Flooding potential, lack of
adequate cover material, and an assortment of other problems
are inherent in site selection issues,
To perform its share of the solid waste collection activities,
the city employs one hundred and eighty men (not including labor
pool personnel) and uses eighty-one pieces of equipment, including
sweepers and various support vehicles. For disposal operations,
an additional fifteen men and nine pieces of equipment are
utilized.
Since March 1971, the city has collected mixed refuse by
means of its combined public-private system. Previous experimen-
tation led to mandatory city-wide use of plastic bags. The city
collects no commercial or industrial accounts. The Refuse Division
field workforce is on a ten hour-four day work week and was the
first city operation to receive time-and-a half for overtime.
40

5.1: Collection R e s p o n siD iii11ej. L j ^ t h e Jl e,tuse Division
The division is both directly a^c: inclj r^ctiy responsible
for essentially all of Kansas City-s residential refuse. The
city forces and the city's contractors each collect from almost
67.000 dwelling units per week. An additional 10,716 residential
units in Hhomes associations" contract for their own services with
private haulers and receive a rebate under terms of a contract
each association negotiates with the city, Financial data and
a sample homes association contract are presented in Appendix D.
Stops with more than six units and trailer parks are considered
to be "commercial" and must contract directly with private haulers
for service. Appendix E contains the City Code and related
Regulations for residential refuse collection.
5,1.1: Mixed Refuse Collection
Duties and Level of Service
City crews collect mixed or combined refuse from Monday
through Thursday on a once-a-week basis from 66,456 units.
Contractor crews collect from Monday through Friday, also on
a once-a-week basis, from 66,800 units,
The collection of mixed refuse is generally unlimited
carryout; that is, crews will pick up all tied plastic bags of-
less than sixty-five pounds each from any collection point which
is visible, at ground level, readily accessible, and outside
of any enclosure. If storage containers are used for the plastic
bags in the process of being filled, they must be of 30 gallon
capacity and must be covered. Bags are sized to fit standard
30 gallon containers and generally contain putrescibles (garbage),
cans, bottles, newspapers, clippings, grass; and small obsolete
waste items.
41
-------
The n'.ixed rei-'se collection crews will also collect other
refuse if it is placed in disposable containers or is bundled
and tied in two-foot by four-foot bundles, and weighs less than
sixty-five pounds per bundle or bag. Such refuse or "rubbish"
must be placed at curbside or the alley line for collection.
Specifications for the plastic bags purchased by the city
are in Appendix F. Included in the specifications are testing
and standard requirements. Bags now used are two mils thick,
green in color, packaged in sets of 30 bags per package; and
palletized for warehouse handling. The city maintains a three-
month inventory of bags at all times in case of transportation
or production strikes. Bids for bag procurement are let on a
yearly basis. Strict quality control procedures are used
to ensure bag performance.
Manpower and Equipment Allocation
There are currently twenty-six mixed refuse collection crews
consisting of a driver (Equipment Operator II) and two helpers
(Laborer III), responsible for collection from the city collection
*
area (see Figure 6 for city collection area boundaries). Within
this collection area, which is about one-third of the city area
but contains 50 percent of the population, the city crews
collect in four districts, Districts 30, 40, 50, and 60, as
depicted in Figure 7. Table 3 presents the number of dwelling
units by district per day. Each vertical "zone" of four districts
is collected once a week. The collection activities within each
of the four districts are under the supervision of a foreman
(see Figure 8 for detail of Refuse Division Organization),
*
In reality the ratio is eight laborers for each six trucks put
into a collection district, as will be explained later.

FIGURE 8: REFUSE DIVISION ORGANIZATION
-------
According to the city, formal collection routes are not
used. Either six or seven packer trucks are allocated to each
district within the daily zone. A shuttle system is used, in
which for each six or seven trucks, from eight to ten laborers
assist. During the first load, the drivers of the two extra
trucks assist in collection. They then begin to "shuttle" the
full trucks to the disposal site while collection continues
with the remaining packers. The six, twenty-five yard packers
are allocated across the four districts according to expected
collection volume. The eighteen yard packers make up the
remainder of the mixed refuse collection equipment. Each fore-
man is allocated a radio-equipped pick-up truck. The Refuse
Division maintains a labor pool of approximately 15 percent
extra personnel to supplement its collection labor force and to
provide replacements for vacations and absent employees. Temporary
day labor is used only if unscheduled absences become excessive.
Crew efficiency is enhanced by the use of the shuttle system,
the use of plastic bags, the degree of voluntary curbside set-out
by residents, and the 10 hour-four day work week. Crews
normally complete their district collection responsibilities in
8^ hours, thus there is an informal task incentive system in
operation: when a district is collected, its crews are done for
the day. Average route lengths were not known and the average
one-way distance to a disposal site is six miles (20 minutes
travel time). Trucks average three trips per day to disposal
sites with a daily average of 2i loads per truck.
Of some interest is the history of transition from a five
to a four day work week, which occurred in three phases. In
October 1969, the division put its disposal toll collectors on
47
-------
a ten hour day, 4 day work week to eliminate the need for pay-
ing overtime to these employees. After this, the landfill opera-
tors were also put on a 10-4 system. In December 1969, the city
began pickup of 7,200 homes under Federal Interim Assistance to
riot-torn areas. This was a combined refuse pick-up using
plastic bags and three trucks on a 5 day, 8 hour per day system.
In February 1970, the division went to two crews on a 10-4
basis. In June 1970. the city received a Model Cities contract
for combined refuse collection in an area which overlapped the
interim assistance area. Two additional crews on a 10-4 basis
were added for this expanded bag pick-up service. At the
"yard," the eight hour 5-day crews were continually exposed to
the 10 hour 4-day crews coming in not much later and leaving on
Thursday for a three day weekend.
In July 1970, the city terminated its commercial collection
activities. From August, 1970 through February, 1971, instead
of the casual spring clean-up, the city assigned six packers and
three flat-bed crews to selected areas for one week periods of
clean-up (see Figure 9 for Citizen Notice Flyer). This effort
was also scheduled on a 10-4 basis. During this period, this
force covered the city twice and eliminated the large costs of
special spring clean-up efforts. At this time, the rest of the
city was still on a separate collection for refuse and trash.
In December 1970, the earning tax increase was passed and a
total of $3.6 million was earmarked for the initiation of a com-
bined refuse collection program. Additional revenues really
amounted to $2.4 million over the $1.2 million then budgeted for
separate garbage/trash collection, and some salary adjustments
were made. In March 1971, when the combined refuse, public/
private contractor system began, all city collection forces went
to a 10-4 system and city-wide use of plastic bags .was made
mandatory.

-------
In March 1971, when the combined refuse; public/private contractor
system began, all city collection forces went to a 10-4 system and
city-wide use of plastic bags was made mandatory.
The current mixed refuse collection fleet consists of thirty,
18-yard compactors (White, cab-over-chassis; 12, 1967 Garwoods and
18, 1967 Pack-Mors) and six, 25-yard compactors (3, 1969 Chevrolet/
Leach 2R's and 3, 1971 White/Cobeys). The three Leaches were
bought used in 1970 and have standard transmissions which have
maintenance problems. In fiscal year 1973r1974, the city will pur-
chase four 25-yard packers and will replace the three Leach chassis
Three additional 25-yard packers will be added.
Also before the Council for approval are leases for one 29.2
yard Shu-Pack (Maxon, dual-drive side-loader with auxiliary engine
for 1 man crew) and one Gulf Mechanical Bag Retriever. These
trucks will be used on an experimental basis and the areas they
serve will be required to have mandatory curbside set-out of
plastic bags. This experimentation will be carried out to
evaluate rear loader versus side load efficiencies before replace-
ment of the aged 1967 fleet. The current fleet of 18-yarders
have high maintenance costs. The shift from separate to combined
collection caused increased breakdown problems, which explains why
the city maintains a fleet of thirty 18-yarders when only twenty.
are used on a daily basis.

EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY DATA FOR KANSAS CITY
ASSUMPTIONS AND COMMENTS
_!/ Total population, based on March 1973 Chamber of Commerce
estimate, is 513,837. Since the city and its contractors
serve 143,172 of the 176,373 dwelling units, the esti-
mated actual population served is approximately 416,631.
?J 1970 Census indicates approximately 176,373 occupied dwel-
ling units, City estimates that city forces and city con-
tractors collect 66,456 and 66,800 units, respectively.
10,716 units are in homes' associations not collected by
city or city contracted services. Of these 143,172 units,
about 18,000 units are in multi-family dwellings served
by the city. Thus, a total of approximately 143,974 units
are either in homes' associations or are served by city/
city-contractor forces. Of the remaining 32,401 units
not served by city or city contractors, it is felt that
most are in facilities containing more than 6 units, which
must provide for their own collection by direct contract
with private haulers.
3/ City ordinance does not specify collection point, but an
estimated 87% of residents place plastic bags at curbside.
4/ Includes supportive equipment.
£>/ City stated that an average of 259 pounds per stop are
collected and that one-ninth of 143,172 stops are collected
each year. This yields an annual tonnage for bulky items
of 2346 tons per year collected by city forces. Private
sector under city contract collects no white goods.
6f The city uses twenty-six of its thirty-six trucks per day -
on a 4-day per week, 10-hour day basis. "Shuttle System"
is used, in which 6 to 7 packers and 8 laborers are assigned
to each of 4 daily collection zones. Six, 25-yard packers
(drivers only) are assigned across the 4 daily zones. The
extra drivers collect on the first load, while their trucks
are idle; they then shuttle the filled trucks to the land-
fill, while collection proceeds with the empty trucks. Ten
trucks are used as spares, as the fleet is relatively old
and requires frequent maintenance.
l_l Does not include labor pool complement of drivers and labor-
ers used to cover vacations and other normal absences.

Fiscal Year 1972-1973, the 43 pound figure was derived as
follows;
May 1 - Oct. 1, 1972 22 weeks x 82,000 dwelling units
Oct. 1, 1972 - April 30, 1973 30 weeks x 66,800 dwelling units

for both packer and bulky waste trucks.
13/ Costs were calculated by prorating operating costs for seven
months of operation. Approximately ten thousand dollars
per month of collection labor wages are supported by E.E.A.
funds but are included here to illustrate total cost of
operation.
14/ The $1,725,701 figure is based on'the budgeted '73-'74 costs
and not on the number of stops at bid time, which was
65,496, rather than the current 66,000. This figure
includes the costs of the plastic bags for stops collected
by contractors.
1_5/ Includes costs for city collection and bags for city col-
lection. Does not include homeowners'associations rebate
plastic bags for private collection, support costs ($425,204)
charged by city (overhead), or contract collection costs. A
more realistic current average total cost per dwelling unit
per year might be derived as follows;

various calculations. The relatively high volume of 16 tons per
crew per day is partially explained by the nominal waste genera-
tion rate of forty-three pounds per unit per week, the zone col-
lection system, and the fact that collection is performed over
a four day week. Each crew averages 639 stops per day and col-
lection occurs over a four-day period, The collection costs per
residence and per person are not unusual as they represent corn-
posit costs for mixed refuse, bulky items, dead animal collec-
tion, and the cost of the bags, Collection costs per ton per
year are relatively high, as such costs generally run in the rang
of $10 to $15 per ton for similar systems. The city does, how-
ever, have a large administrative staff (for customer service
personnel receiving requests for bulky item service, bag de-
livery and missed collection calls/for staff to administer con-
tractors) and a costly fringe package.
5.1,2: Bulky Item Collection
Duties and Level of Service
A separate set of from three to five crews collects bulky
wastes on a continued basis. Each crew consists of one driver and
one helper using 16-foot flat bed trucks equipped with hydraulic
liftgates and a bed hoist, of which the city owns three and rents
two on an as-needed basis. Bulky waste, which is heavier than"
65 pounds, too large for a packer truck, but manageable by two
men, is collected upon receipt of a call requesting such service.
Bulky items must be placed at curbside for collection. (See
Appendix E for relevant regulations.) Approximately 15,000 re-
quests for pickups are made each year.
Manpower and Equipment Allocations
Two drivers and two laborers are assigned to this operation
on a normal four-day per week basis. Additional personnel are
added when required by volume of requests. Table 4 presents
the manpower and equipment allocation for bulky item collection,
58
-------
The normal crew is two men, both of which work during a pickup.
As stated, 16-foot flat bed trucks are used. From three to five
trucks per day are used, with summer volume requiring five truck
operations. Each zone depicted in Figure 10 is picked up by the
bulky item crews in one day. Routes are based on the distribution
of requests for service.

FIGURE 10: BULKY ITEM COLLECTION
Efficiency and Productivity
Bulky item trucks make from 3 to 4 trips per day to the
disposal sites, with an average one-way distance of from 6 to 7
miles. Crews work a 10-4 work week. Tons per crew per day are
one-third that of the mixed refuse collection, and the number of
stops per crew per day average about 30. The lower crew
59
-------
productivity results from both the unscheduled (on request)
nature and the longer length of time required for service of a
bulky item stop,
5.1.3; Ash and Dead Animal_Collection
Duties and Level of Service
No special collections are made for ash collection. Ashes
are generally placed in mixed refuse bags, or in boxes or
appropriate containers, and are collected along with the mixed
refuse on a weekly basis.
Dead animal collection is also a function of the Refuse
Division. Dead animals, of a reasonable size, are collected on
request, and the city is covered on a daily basis,
Manpower and Equipment
Dead animal collection is performed by two men, working a
staggered work week, each using a pickup truck equipped with a
six foot by three foot by eight foot metal box and a hoist. On
Friday, the extra man collects any missed mixed refuse stops
carried over from the preceding day. Large animals are collected
by private haulers under direct contract to the resident,
5.1.4: Street Sweeping
Duties and Level of Service
Street sweeping and flushing operations are the responsibility
of the Street Maintenance Division of the Department of Public
Works. The central business district and heavy residential areas
are swept once per week. Areas which consist of single family
units and suburban-type areas are swept every other week. Out-
lying suburban-type areas are swept once every five weeks.
Street cleaning operations are run on a Monday through Friday
schedule from 7.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m., and, on the average, six
60
-------
hours of actual sweeping time occur for each sweeper, Currently,
flushing is done only in problem areas and construction sites.
Five years ago, budget cuts reduced sweeping efforts by 50
percent, The FY 73 budget cut another 23 percent from operating
funds. Route scheduling was quite difficult originally; only dry
sweeping is performed when temperature drops below 34 F, No
sweeping is done at temperatures below 25 , Weather caused the
loss of 36 out of a potential of 260 work days during the past
year. Routes are currently 16 to 18 street miles in length, in-
cluding 1,250 street miles or 2,700 curb miles. Up to 60 percent
error was encountered in the performance of some routes until re-
vised schedules were devised. In actuality, the sweeper opera-
tors now set up their own routes. At the end of the current four-
year equipment lease contract, if not before, the city may contract
out the entire operation,
Manpower and Equipment
Eighty-^seven men are used to operate the street cleaning
equipment and support equipment, Eighteen sweepers (13 three
wheel and 5 four-wheel) are used, each manned by one man, The
sweepers are leased and maintained under contract for a cost of
$17,555 per month and the lease is renewable for four years,
A separate contract is being used for the supply of brooms.
Street sweeping operations are supported by four support trucks
to pick up sweepings, each manned by two men. Two vacuum
machines with three-men crews are leased for eight month periods.
Finally, six street flushers, each with a one-man crew, are
operated. On an average day, fourteen loads of street sweeping
refuse are disposed of. Annual collection volume is approxi-
mately 35,000 cubic yards.
Of the operation's manpower, twenty-six men are paid for by
the Emergency Employment Act, which will expire in June, 1974.
61
-------
Of the 83 men used for street cleaning, there are: 3 General
Foremen; one clerk; 9 Labor Foremen; 34 Equipment Operators;
and 36 Maintenance Workers (laborers).
Currently, sweeper loads are left at fourteen dump sites for
pick-up by support trucks, leading to public relation problems.
Leaves are raked into streets and Park Department vehicles are
used for leaf pick-up on Saturdays. A total of 700 to 800
cubic yards are swept up every week.
5.1.5: Contract Mixed Refuse Collection
Dirties and Level of Service
Appendix G presents the "Specifications and Contract
Documents for Refuse Collection Routes" used to solicit bids
from private haulers on an annual basis for the collection of
66,800 residential stops. The city is now in its third year of
contract operation and, while it has taken bids for collection/
disposal, bag delivery, and bulky item collection, it now contracts
only for collection/disposal services and for bag delivery in
selected semi-rural areas.
Appendix H presents the bid history for each of the three
years for each of the routes put up for bid. As is apparent,
the average bid on a per-stop basis has decreased each year.
Payments are made on a monthly basis to all contractors.
Contractors are required: to have bid bonds, performance bonds,
auto and liability insurance; and, to indemnify the city from
any legal action resulting from contractor operation. Contractor
service for mixed refuse is essentially the same as the city
service.
Service provided is once per week and all residences must
use plastic bags for mixed refuse. Contractors begin operation
after 7 a.m., and are required to collect from city facilities
(fire stations and city hall annexes), when directed, at the same
cost per unit as their residential bid. Collection zone
62
-------
schedules must be submitted within ten days of contract award
for city approval. Contractors receive complaints from the
Refuse Division and must correct complaints within 24 hours or
on Saturday, if complaints are received on Friday.
Manpower and Equipment
No information was available to describe the manpower and
equipment used by the private contractors. At the time of
bids, the city request information to determine that each bidder
has sufficient manpower and equipment to adequately service
routes for which he has bid. Only one contractor, who has one
smaller route (No. 6), works a four-day week. All others work
five day schedules. Table 6 presents the number of stops, cost
per month per stop, and annual costs for the contract routes.
Contractors must dispose of their collection either at their
own sites or at other public or other private sites (and pay
disposal fees). The city no longer permits its contractors to
use the city landfill but, when it did, the contractors paid
disposal fees.
Efficiency and Productivity
Table 5 also presents some minimal data for the private
sector contractors. The total cost per year shown includes a-n
allocation for the cost of plastic bags required for their
portion of the mixed refuse collection. The costs for contract
collection are of the same magnitude as for the city operation
f
if the city collection of bulky items and dead animals is dis-
counted from city costs. The average collection cost per unit
per year is $25.83 and the cost per ton is $22.08. Data on
crew size; number of days worked, total crew, wage costs and
stops per day were not available. As previously noted, the
city and private sector tend to compete informally for routes;

64
-------
if a private collector can collect a route more efficiently at
a lower cost, the city is under strong pressure to put that
route up for bid. Thus, it may be assumed that city and
private hauler costs per unit are very close on the average.
5.2: Quality of Service
The Refuse Division handles all complaint calls for both
city and private contractor operations. Four Customer Service
Representatives handle all incoming calls. City complaints
are corrected within twelve hours and private sector complaints
within twenty-four hours. Telephone calls are cataloged into
the following areas:
Missed Pickups
Follow-up on Missed Pickup
Missed Bag Delivery
Follow-up on Missed Bag Delivery
White Goods Pickup Request
Day of Pickup (Request for Information)
Day of Bag Delivery (Request for Information)
Must Bags Be Placed at Curb (Request for Information)
Will We Empty Can or Take Bags From Can (Request
for Information)
Dog/Animal Problems
Home Association Calls
Miscellaneous
Appendix I contains a summary sheet of missed collection data.
In general, the number of monthly misses per thousand collections
city-wide now average about one call per thousand stops, about
half the average of one year ago. Contractors have higher miss
rates than do city forces, but they too have rapidly improved over
the last year of operation. City service complaints are radioed
to district foremen. Private contractor complaints are given to
each contractor at the end of the day. Complaint response appears
to be excellent, and the complaint rate is relatively low.
65
-------
Each quarter, the Department of Public Works conducts a
telephone interview survey of from 250 to 350 residents selected
on a random basis. Appendix J presents a tabulation summary of
data for four such surveys. While 70 percent of the respondents
prefer to place solid waste at the curbside, some 86.7 percent
currently perform this operation: twenty-three percent object to
doing so. Preference for use of bags declined 96.7 percent in
April, 1971, to 87 percent in December, 1972. Only 67.8 percent
said they were getting enough bags (ten per dwelling unit per month)
and 80 percent said they used three bags or less per week. Less
than 6 percent said their service was unsatisfactory and only 3.5
percent identified missed collection as a problem. Ten percent
said late collection was a problem, down from 56 percent in July,
1971. Approximately 40 percent of the respondents had some problem
with dogs breaking into the refuse- storage bags.
As far as collection operations are concerned, the city
has certainly taken a strong service-improvement oriented approach.
Missed collections have decreased, problem correction is rapid,
and citizen approval of service has been maintained at a 95 percent
level, at least in terms of the random sample of survey respondents.
Litter was not identified as a problem. Street sweeping operations,
however, are apparently inadequate and receive relatively low pri-
ority.
5.3: Labor-Management Relations
The nature and history of the city's relationship with
Local 500 of the AFSCME was discussed in detail in Section 4.4.5
of this report. In general, the union has an excellent working
relationship with the city and has achieved a series of improve-
ments for the classified (blue collar) workers it represents.
Perhaps the major future change in the area of city-union relation-
ships will be the eventual modification of City Ordinances to
permit the city -to enter into legal and binding negotiations
and contracts with the union.
66
-------
All city employees who complete a six month probation period
become permanent employees. A merit system based on eligibility
and examination serves as a basis for promotion of classified person-
nel .
The absence of a formal civil service system has not negatively
affected city employees as the city system is comparable to civil
service systems. Table 7 presents the employee fringe benefits
which are essentially the same for all categories of classified
personnel. In addition, uniforms and safety shoes are provided
to all foremen, skilled, and unskilled laborers.
As is evident :Zrom tenure data (Table 8), a significant
portion of the work force has been with the division for more
than five years. The work force appears to be relatively
stable and turnover is not a major problem. If the number of
skilled and unskilled workers with less than one year of tenure
represents the annual turnover rate, then the value in Kansas City
for these categories alone is only 8.1 percent, which is very low
for blue collar workers. In Kansas City, the problem appears to
be the reassignment of personnel as the labor force contracts,
due to increasing efficiencies, closing of landfills, and,
eventually shifts to one-man trucks.
Absenteeism was noted as an occasional problem. No data
were available to indicate the effects of the improved fringe
package or the 10-4 work week on absenteeism. The annual average
•
number of sick days taken by the skilled and unskilled employees
was six.

The total of fifty-two injuries resulted in 20 lost man-days

The Refuse Division has instituted a program of Safety Incentive
Awards as noted in the Table of Employee Benefits. No data
were available to assess the impact of this program on injury
rates or distribution. Injuries have not been a major issue
in labor-management negotiations.
5.4: Inner City
As previously discussed, inner city areas have had severe
clean up problems associated with the 1968 civil disorders and with
refuse collection in general. The overlapping support of Federal
Interim Assistance and Model Cities funds were used to provide
additional service to these areas and to conduct two of the
city's three experiments in use of plastic bags for mixed refuse
storage.
5.5: Disposal Methods
Disposal in Kansas City has historically been entirely
landfill in nature. Lack of cover material, difficulty in finding
politically acceptable site locations, flood plain flooding
potential, and increasing citizen reaction to disposal system
proposals are all problems which were discussed in depth in
Section 4 of this report.
Currently, the city is using three sites for disposal of
city-collected refuse. The Chouteau site; located on land bought
by the city from the Milwaukee Railroad for $135,000 in 1971,
now is limited to acceptance of only city-collected refuse.
71
-------
Under this restricted form of operation, it will accept mixed
refuse, bulky waste, trees, street sweepings, and sewage grit
collected by city forces. Volume is expected to range from 1,400
to 1,700 tons per week. Employees at the site have been reduced
to eight, and its remaining lifetime is expected to be one-half
year (45,000 tons).
The second site used by the city is the MARC demonstration
landfill, located in Kansas City, Kansas. The city now expects
to deliver from 100 to 200 tons per month to this fill, which is
owned and partially funded by Kansas City, Kansas but operated
>under contract by Browning-Ferris Industries. This fill is expected
to remain open until January, 1975.
The third site used by the city is the southeast fill, owned
by Wolf Enterprises, Inc., and operated under contract by Browning
Ferris Industries. Its remaining lifetime is approximately five years,
Figure 11 presents the locations of the three disposal sites
(MARC, Chouteau, and Wolf) used by the city forces. As is apparent,
the three sites are the ones closest to the central city area
collected by the city.
In Fiscal Year 72-73, the city accepted and disposed of
291,950 tons of refuse and bulky waste at its three operating •
fills. This included waste from private sector haulers, Parks,
the City Market, Mayor's Environmental Summer and Safety Clean-up
Program, and autos/trucks/trailer loads, and the Pollution
Control Department. Two fills were completed (Blue River Road and
Raytown Municipal Farm) in May and August of 1972. Disposal
volume at the new Chouteau site was averaging about 5,000 tons
per week, prior to going to a restricted operating level to
extend the fill lifetime. As is evident from Table 9,
during Fiscal 72-73 the city operated disposal sites generated
over $417,000 in gross revenues from the disposal of over
225,000 tons of commercial and other fee-paying disposers.

Under the restricted operating program, the one city site
(Chouteau) operates with eight men; an Area Superintendent for
Disposal; two fee collectors; three operators; and three laborers.
Equipment includes: two D-8 bulldozers; one standby loader; one
fifteen-yard scraper; one grader; one water truck; one radio-equipped
pick-up truck; one Ford farm tractor for litter collection; a
toll house and scales; and, an air compressor. No salvage opera-
tions are performed at the disposal site.
The current Chouteau landfill site consists of thirty-two
acres, most of which have been filled since its opening in July,
1972. The site is filled by the area method in which an area
is excavated ahead of the current trench for cover material. Cells
are not very deep. A twelve-inch perforated underdrain pipe
system is installed to allow collection of any leachate. Leachate
monitoring stations have not yet been built. The working face
is very large, resulting in some litter or blowing of light
materials. The fill is covered regularly and there is no evidence
of birds, rats , or other animals but insects are present. There
is no fence or ditch around the site. The site borders the levee.
The MARC landfill site is a very neat operation with minimal
exposure of refuse. The fill has been covered daily with one -
foot of cover on top and six inches on the side. A three foot
final cover is used. The site is now running out of cover
material, so minimal cover is now being used. There is no odor,
even downwind of the working face. Ten to fifteen foot deep
cells are being well-compacted and the fill is very stable. The
fill is fenced completely and is surrounded by a drainage ditch.
Monitoring wells are in place. An optimistic estimate of fill-
termination is January, 1975.
75
-------
As has been discussed in Chapter 4, the city is now seeking
to select a new disposal site from among the three to five sites
finally located by the city's working task force and the
Citizen's Advisory Committee on Solid Waste. The city and
MARC have cooperated in developing refuse waste generation
projections (see appendix K for equations and data) which will
also be used in the solid waste plan required by the State.
The summary of these projections is presented in Table 10.

The nature of the city's solid waste disposal system
is evident from these data. By the year 2000, the city will
have to dispose of a 68 percent increase in residential refuse
and a 77 percent increase in commercial refuse. If landfill
is the only current and foreseeable disposal methodology, the
city and private haulers face an enormous problem in securing
adequate and acceptable landfill sites.

5.6: Equipment Description
The Refuse Division of the Kansas City Department of Public
.Works operates a relatively uniform fleet. Table 11 presents
a description of current fleet data for refuse collection
operations. The mixed refuse crews use the older 1967 18-yard
packers and the six newer 25-yard packers. Bulky item crews
use the flat bed trucks.
At this time, the city is expanding its refuse fleet by
the purchase of four new 25-yard packers with F-800 Louisville
Ford Convertible Cabs, two with Leach 2-R packer bodies and two
with Cobey packer bodies. Also, the city plans to replace the
chassis of the three 1969 Leach 2-Rs, which were bought used.
Before the Council for approval are leases for experimental trial
of two, one-man crew packers, a 29.2 cubic yard Shu-Pak and a
Gulf MBR. The city wants to try out the one-man packers before
they replace their aging 1967 fleet of thirty Garwoods and Pak
Mors.
5.6.1: Financing, Cost and Equipment Replacement
The existing fleet is replaced by use of the depreciation
charges accumulated in a revolving fund. Replacement expenditures
do not have to be budgeted. Replacement decisions are made
by upper management of the Department of Public Works Budget
Office personnel, and Motor Vehicle Maintenance Division Superin-
tendent. The MVMD puts out bids and purchases the equipment.
The Refuse Division essentially leases the equipment from the
MVMD at the rates indicated in Table H. For additional equipment
purchase, Council approval of supplementary budget requests is
required. Old vehicles are sold at auction.

-------
For the older packer trucks, labor represents about 43
percent of the total of labor and parts expenditures. For
the 25-yard packers, labor represents about 46 percent of
this total. On a per truck basis, the 1972-'73 repair costs
were $5,530 for the older trucks and $5,719 for the newer,
larger trucks. On a per truck basis, the average total per
truck costs were $11,811 for the older trucks and $13,205 for
the 25-yard trucks. Since the city essentially operates only
twenty of the thirty older trucks, the average annual repair
costs for these older trucks may be as much as 50 percent
higher, if no work was done on the standby equipment. The
repair costs in Table 11 include internal parts and labor,
external repair costs, accident costs, and towing and lease
replacement costs; thus, the average repair costs may be
slightly inflated. Annual repair 'costs are in the range of
five to six thousand dollars per truck, the rate is high
but not uncommon for a fleet that is six years old.
The 25-yard trucks are depreciated on a five year deprecia-
tion schedule and the 18-yard trucks are depreciated on an
eight year schedule. The original 1955 fleet was depreciated
on an eight year schedule and replaced after thirteen years.
Straight line depreciation is used. Equipment rotation is not -
practiced to equalize true depreciation.
5.6.2: Vehicle Maintenance Policies
The Division of Motor Vehicle Maintenance of the Department of
Public Works provides maintenance services for the Refuse Division
vehicles. It performs both the preventive maintenance and
repair maintenance needed for these vehicles.
79
-------
The preventive maintenance system encompasses three levels
of service. Level A, done every 30 days, includes 32 specific
check points, e.g., oil change, grease and lubrication, lights
check, etc. Level B, performed every sixty days, includes all
the items covered in Level A, plus an additional 12 items, e.g.,
oil filters, brake adjustments, tire changes, etc. Level C,
performed quarterly, includes A and B service, plus an additional
12 items such as alignment and suspension checks, brake drums
and linings, hydraulic pressure system, packer chain check,
and general tune-up. After each servicing, a road test of the
vehicle is performed.
All preventive maintenance work is done on the second
shift, from 11:30 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Daily repair work is
performed on the first shift, from. 3:30 p.m. to 12:00 midnight.
The Refuse Division garage conducts its own preventive maintenance
work, while repairs may be done at any of six city garages. For
breakdowns, a service truck is on-call for all sanitation vehicles,
while two other trucks, which service all city operated vehicles,
are available for tire problems.
Currently, there are thirteen employees in vehicle
maintenance work for all sanitation vehicles. These include
one heavy equipment foreman, two auto mechanics, two auto
servicemen, one equipment operator, and seven heavy equipment
mechanics. The work week is five days - eight hours, although
extensive overtime is presently required. Although delays
are not a serious problem, an inability to obtain parts often
results in a delay of one to ten days.
The division is currently experimenting with automatic
lubrication systems, which would entirely eliminate the
need for periodic lubrication. Also, it has conducted a year-
long experiment with foam-filled tires in an effort to reduce
the number of flats. To date, this test has proved quite successful
80
-------
In addition, an agreement has been made with Kansas City Junior
College to provide in-service training and instruction on heavy
equipment maintenance.
5.7: Financial Reports of the Kansas City Solid Waste Manage-
ment System
Kansas City operates on a unconventional May 1 to April 30
fiscal year. Well in advance of the beginning of the fiscal
year, each department prepares estimates of its program opera-
tions and budget requirements on standard forms distributed
by the Budget Division of the City Manager's office. These
estimates are reviewed and compiled by the Budget Division,
and presented to the City Council by the City Manager. By
the third Tuesday in April, the City Council must have finished
its review, and approve the budget either as submitted, or
with revisions. This, the adopted' budget is in place at the
initiation of the fiscal year and department heads face no
uncertainty about the exact amount appropriated for each program
activity. During the fiscal year, a supplemental budget is
prepared, detailing areas for expanded services and estimated
costs. If additional monies are available the City Council
may approve these additional program activities (see Appendix
L for 1973-74 supplemental budget).
The Budget Division monitors the expenditure patterns
throughout the fiscal year, primarily by means of a formal
quarterly budget report. An analysis of appropriations,
expenditures to date, and projected yearly expenditures is pre-
pared. The results are reviewed in a formal meeting with each
department head and budgetary adjustments are made as required.
The city has moved to utilize the program budget approach
to budget development in the last fiscal year, moving away
from the line-item, accounting budget. In addition, it has
allocated its indirect administrative costs, termed "support costs,"
81
-------
to direct program activities for the last two fiscal years,
in an effort to identify all the real costs of each program
activity•
5.7.1: Sources of Revenue
All operations of the solid waste management system are
financed out of the General Fund. Several revenue sources
are utilized for the General Fund, the major ones being:
earnings and profits taxes; licenses permits, and franchises;
and property taxes, which together accounted for 86 percent
of all revenues for the General Fund in the 1973-74 budget.
No revenue source in the General Fund is earmarked for a
specific program or department; all appropriations are made
from the General Fund without reference to revenue source.
However, a portion of the revenues received from the
earnings tax may be regarded as a direct source for the solid
waste management operations. In December, 1970, voters approved
an increase in the earnings tax from one-half percent to one
percent. This increase was authorized with the public under-
standing that a portion of the additional revenues would be used,
among other things, to allow the city to initiate a city-wide
mixed refuse collection service. Of the anticipated $15.5
million in additional revenues, $3.6 million was committed to
cover the cost of both the existing solid waste operations and
the expanded solid waste collection service. As required by the
authorization, the city-wide service had to begin within 90
days. On March 1, 1971, the expanded service was initiated.
Table 12 presents the General Fund Account and the major
revenue sources that relate to the solid waste management
system for the previous six years. As shown, the revenues
available in the General Fund Account have grown bv more
than $34 million during this period, a 69.4 percent increase.
Much of this growth is accounted for by the earnings tax,

All other figures are actual revenues received
-------
which rose by more than $21 million during the six years. The
near doubling of revenues that occurred in 1071-72 reflected
the earning tax increase to one percent, authorized at that
time.
Both the landfill use charges and the sanitation permits
and fees are revenue sources that are available through the
operation of the city solid waste system. As shown, the
revenues from landfill fees decreased dramatically, from a
high of $770,109 in 1970-71 to the expected $73,800 in the current
fiscal year. This reflects the closing of two city sites and
restriction of the remaining city-owned landfill site to only
city-collected solid waste. This significant loss of revenues
is not likely to affect the operations of the solid waste
system since, presumably, other General Fund revenues will
be utilized to replace the landfill use charges. However, since
the city is now required to pay private landfill owners for
disposal rights (until the city decides what new disposal
system to adopt) the cost of disposal may become increasingly
expensive.
The sanitation permits and fees include the revenues received
from private collectors for the rights to operate within the
city. As shown, this revenue source has experienced a mild
increase in recent years.
In addition to the local sources of revenues, the city
has used various Federal funding sources for its solid waste
program. The Federal programs that have funded aspects of
the solid waste system include: Federal Revenue Sharing;
the Emergency Employment Act; and the Model Cities program.
Revenue Sharing monies are presently budgeted for the purchase
of three additional packer trucks. Emergency Employment Act
funds, used to employ additional personnel, were also available
in earlier years before 1973-74, but the amounts were not
84
-------
identifiable from available data. The revenues received
from the Model Cities program resulted in the experimental
plastic bag program undertaken from July, 1970, to February,
1971, just prior to the initiation of the city-wide service.
For financing its capital program, the city uses both
debt instruments and a sinking fund. Motorized equipment
is now generally depreciated over a five year period; monies
accumulated in the sinking fund are then utilized for the
purchase of replacement vehicles. During the past year, an
$8.45 million bond issue was approved for the acquisition of
additional disposal sites. However, the bond has not been
issued, awaiting the results of the study committee investigation
into appropriate disposal sites. ..
5.7.2: Expenditures
As mentioned above, the expenditures of the solid waste
management division are monitored by the Budget Division, using
monthly and quarterly financial documents comparing appropriations
and actual expenditures to date.
In Table 13, the expenditures for the collection and disposal
activities for the previous six years are summarized. Of note
is the near doubling in expenditures for collection that
occurred in 1971-72 when the city adopted the city-wide collection
program. Since that time; expenditures for collection have
increased at a relatively slow pace, rising about $100,000 in
1972-73, and an additional $350,000 in the 1973-74 budget. The
latter increase does not include the $194,500 budgeted for disposal
fees at private landfill sites that were a part of the collection
activity in the adopted budget. Since this cost is more accurately
a cost of disposal operations, in this analysis it has been
re-allocated to that activity. Therefore, since the city-wide
service was initiated, collection expenditures have increased
at an moderate average annual rate of 4.9 percent.

-------
For disposal operations, the closing of the disposal
sites is reflected in the sharp decline in expenditures for
1973-74. As noted above, the cost for disposal fees paid to
private landfill owners has been re-allocated to the disposal
activity to provide a more accurate picture qf actual disposal
costs. However, the decline of more than 34 percent from the
previous year is still recorded. If actual volumes of refuse
collection continue on the same level from year to year, than
it would seem likely that real disposal costs would be at
least as high as in the proceeding year. It would appear
that the $194,500 budgeted for disposal fees may be insufficient
to cover the actual costs, and that additional funds may be
needed by the end of the fiscal year.
In Table 14, the expenditures for the past three years
are detailed by object categories. As in the previous Table,
the $194,500 charged to the collection activity, under contractual
effort in 1973-74 , have been more properly allocated to the
disposal activity under the same object category. For the
collection activity, a moderate rate of increase is noted for
each of the object categories. The disposal activity shows
a sharp decline in the personnel and labor costs, and commodities
and supplies costs, which is not offset by the additional con-_
tractual effort expenditures.
To analyze the nature of the city's solid waste collection
operation, the identifiable budget figures pertaining to the
private sector operations must be excluded. As shown in Table 15 ,
the Refuse Collection contracts, the Homeowners Association,
and the Plastic Bags expenditures used by the contract collectors,
are all budget items that pertain strictly to the private
sector collection service. When these items are isolated, the
expenditure pattern for the city collection operations can be
identified, as shown in Table 16.

is highly labor intensive; personnel and labor costs averaged
nearly 60 percent of total expenditures during the last two years.
In comparing the total costs between the private and city operations,
it is significant that in serving approximately 60 percent of
the dwelling units, the city collection operation incurs about
60 percent of the total cost of collection. It follows, of
course, that the private sector serves 40 percent of the dwelling
units, at 40 percent of the total cost. Both the city and private
sector are operating their collection activities at approximately
the same cost per unit.
Street Cleaning expenditures are presented in Table 17.
As part of the earnings tax increase in 1971, an incremental
$237,600 was allocated to the street cleaning program, a 35
percent increase. This allowed for a 50 percent increase in
equipment, with the addition of six street sweepers and four
street flushers. However, it was not until October, 1972 that
a complete, city-wide street cleaning program could bt.
initiated.
Under the present system, the city has a lease arrangement
with Liberty Leasing Company for the supply and maintenance of
18 street sweepers and two vacuum machines, at a montly rate
of $17,555. A penalty of $200 per day is assessed for a delay
of more than 24 hours in providing all the required number of
vehicles. The actual sweeping, pick-up, and disposal operations
are performed by city employees. As shown, the cost of operations
has decreased significantly, even though the city has attempted
to move towards city-wide service. This results from the
contractual arrangement that allows for the use of new vehicles,
thus reducing maintenance and other costs caused by frequent
breakdowns (see Appendix M for detailed cost of operations
from October, 1972 to April 1973).

Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plans

Tiif: DIVISION OK TlKAi.Tii
OF MISSOURI
GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF COMPREHENSIVE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS
(For the Mid-America Regional Council Area Only)
Section 4.2. of Senate Bill No. 387 of the 76th General Assembly requires
that "The governing body of each county of the first class containing all or
part of a city having a population of 450 thousand or more and the governing
body of each county which has joined with it in forming a regional planning
commission shall on or before January 1, 1974, adopt a plan for the disposal of
solid wastes generated within its boundaries. The plan for each such county
shall provide for a solid waste management system for the entire county,..."
The guidelines contained herein will be used by the Missouri Division of Health
to determine approval or disapproval of a county plan and are being provided to
the counties and the Mid-America Regional Council to expedite the planning
process.
S.
Basically, county solid waste management plans will be reviewed for con-
sistency with (1) Section 4.2. of Senate Bill No. 387, (2) Section 5 of Senate
Bill No. 387 which lists eight items to be included in a plan, (3) the goals and
objectives of the Missouri Solid Waste Management Plan, and (4) the remaining
sections of Senate Bill No. 387, especially 4.1. which states "...each city and
county or ;.-. combination of cities and counties shall provide individually or
collectively for the collection and disposal of solid wastes..." Chapter VI of
the Missouri Solid Waste Management Plan lists objectives for storage, collection
and transportation, processing and disposal, etc. Chapter VII indicates methods
in which the objectives of Chapter VI can be attained. These two chapters contain
very valuable information and insight into the recommendations for an acceptable
solid waste management system and hence an acceptable solid waste management plan.
Solid waste management plans are required simply as a method to attain the end
result - a good solid waste management system. Considering this and the fact that
the plans, must by law, be implemented, these solid waste management plans should
be very practical and easily implementable.
All of the criteria mentioned in the above paragraph will be used, but some
of the more important guidelines are as follows:
A. Storage recommendations must provide for:
1. Solid waste containers which provide for complete enclosure of the
contents for protection from weather, prevention of scattering and
exclusion of vectors and domestic animals.
100
-------
2. Reusable containers which are durable and cleanable, or single
service containers must be durable enough to withstand a single use.
3. Containers to be manually lifted should not exceed 35 gallons in
capacity or weigh more than 75 pounds when full.
4. Regular 'leaning and maintenance of community containers such as
bulk containers used by several families and provided by the local
government or private contractor. The frequency required will de-
pend upon the type of waste, the extent of the use of single service
bags, the season of the year, etc.
B. Collection and Transportation recommendations should basically assure
that all of. the solid waste generated will enter the collection system
and be transported to a processing facility or disposal area which has
a Division of Health permit.
1. In cities, achieving this objective will involve providing the col-
lection service to everyone, not an optional system where the resi-
dents choose whether or not to use the; service. It has been shown
many times that when a uniform collection service is not provided
that those residents who choose not to use the service may dispose
of the waste in unauthorized areas or allow the solid waste to
accumulate on their property, thereby causing a neighborhood problem.
In accepting their responsibility for collection and disposal under
Senate Bill No. 387, cities must assure that everyone receives the
collection service with public forces or by a contract with private
enterprise or other public agencies. Recognition must also be given
to potential problems of commercial and industrial waste accumula-
tion and city ordinances should have provisions requiring routine
removal of such wastes and relative enforcement provisions. Once per
week collection would be a minimum unless an unusual waste is in-
volved which does not cause odors, vector breeding and attraction,
fire hazards, or unsightliness.
2. In rural unincorporated areas, it is often not economically feasible
to collect solid waste on a door-to-door basis, therefore, it would
be acceptable to use a container service in these areas with contain-
ers conveniently located to assure the use of the containers rather
than promiscuous dumps. This type of service could also be used in
small incorporated towns in which local factors suggest the contain-
er service approach to be the most practical and feasible.
3. Adequate collection frequency is necessary to prevent odor problems,
fly and other insect breeding, rodent attraction, etc. A minimum of
once per week collection (twice is preferable) must be provided for
household solid waste and any other type which contains putrescibles.
Community bulk container systems should receive at least twice per
week service due to the fact that waste deposited in the containers
may already have been stored at the household for a prolonged period
of time and therefore the waste may cause fly and odor problems if
not collected at such frequencies. If containers are serviced fre-
questly, there will be fewer problems with containers which could be
overflowing for long periods of time without collection.
101
-------
4. A good household collection service will provide for removal of all
of the waste that meets the storage standards and that the collec-
tion vehicle can accommodate. Limiting the number of containers or
volume that is permitted to be collected defeats the basic purpose
of the collection system to remove the solid waste from the resi-
dential premises. The plan recommendations should acknowledge how
the bulky wastes will be collected and disposed of also.
5. Solid waste collection vehicles must have covered bodies which are
leakproof, cleanable and prevent blowing and scattering of refuse.
A compactor type body is preferable because it meets this criteria
and because more waste can be hauled per trip thus reducing hauling
costs and travel time to processing and disposal sites.
6. In some metropolitan areas, backyard burning of household solid waste
is a violation of the regulations of the Missouri Air Conservation
Commission, Commercial solid waste must not be subject to open burn-
ing anywhere in the State. In areas where open burning of household
solid waste I" not illegal and house-to-house collection is provided
or planned, the solid waste plan should recommend prohibiting back-
yard burning of general household solid waste. This undesirable
method of volume reduction is.'not necessary when a collection service
is provided.
C. Processing and Disposal recommendations must provide for processing and
disposal in a manner which will not cause public health and safety hazards,
nuisances, air and water pollution, degraded land values and unsightliness.
To accomplish this will require:
1. Phasing out and properly closing of open dumps.
2. Establishment of acceptable processing facilities and land disposal
sites (sanitary landfills) which are located, designed and operated
in accordance with rules and regulations developed under Senate Bill
No. 387.
3. Recommendations for the processing and disposal of hazardous wastes
such as pathological and infectious wastes, poisonous and toxic chem-
ical wastes, dead animals, etc., which are present in the planning area.
4. Consideration of population projections and future solid waste genera-
tion. The recommended processing method(s) and disposal area(s) must
have the combined capacity to provide for processing and disposal for
a minimum of ten years.
D. Management recommendations must provide for:
1. Legal actions to be taken in cities and counties to implement the
county plan such as copies of existing or proposed ordinances, con-
tracts, court orders, etc.
2. Appointment of adequate staff and designation of responsibility in
the areas of operation, regulation, administration, and future planning-
3. An explanation or chart of where*the solid waste management responsi-
bilities lie with respect to local government.
102
-------
4. Hie method(s) of financing the system - both capital and operating
expenses,
E. A Timetable for Implementation is a very important feature of a workable
solid waste management plan. Section 4.2. of Senate Bill No. 387 requires
that the county plans shall provide a method whereby the solid waste man-
agement system will be extended to all areas of the county no later than
January 1, 1976. The timetable must be specific in indicating:
1. The dates by which each legal action will be taken such as adoption
of ordinances or court orders, contract letting, etc.
2. The dates by which service will be made available in specific portions
of the planning area.
3. The date that personnel will be hired and/or responsibility delegated
to existing personnel.
4. The date by which the operational authority will be formed (if the
plan callc- for establishment of a new management structure not al-
ready existing as a city or county government).
5. The longevity of any contracts,
6. The length of time the existing disposal areas can receive the antic-
ipated volume of waste and dates by which action will be taken to
acquire new disposal sites.
7. Any other dates significant to the full implementation of a solid
waste management system for the entire planning area.
As previously stated, the end result (a good solid waste management system)
of the planning effort is the subject of most importance - not the planning itself.
Therefore, if the county or the cities within the county have already implemented
system(s) meeting the guidelines contained herein, the plan would need only to^
contain a narrative to that effect with supporting legal documents plus a descrip-
tion of the planned management system for at least a ten-year period. If portions
of the system(s) are acceptable and others are not, then a description of the
existing system(s) with a timetable for implementing improvements in the remainder
of the system(s) would be necessary.
Senate Bill No. 387 requires that the plan be "officially adopted" by the
county, therefore, a 'formal resolution of adoption by the county government must
,• accompany the final solid waste management plan to be submitted. The legislation
requires that the plan must be reviewed and approved-by both the Mid-America Regional
Council and the Missouri Division of Health. Two copies of the plan should be sent
to: The Division of Health, Bureau of Solid Waste Management, P.O. Box 570, Jeffer-
son City, Missouri 65101, and also copies to the Mid-America Regional Council. The
Division of Health will review the plan and consider the region's comments. If the
plan is not approved an explanation of the deficiencies will be furnished.

fied as non-collectible items out for collection.

materials, rocks, bricks, fence posts, and other
similar small items wasted in the minor maintenance
of a house, and
196

problems to be expected.

/
tag system (tags being furnished by the City) the Contrac-
tor will notify the City and the customer of the customer's

It is anticipated that the Milwaukee site will be
closed approximately by the end of June, 1973. Should the
Southeast site continue to be available, which is subject
to the approval of the City Board of Zoning Adjustment,
the City has a contractual arrangement whereby City Refuse
Contractors will be allowed to deposit city residential
refuse at the rate of two. dollars twenty-five ($2.25) per
ton commencing October 16, 1973. Unexpected modifications
because of state or federal requirements could cause con-
tracted Landfill rate to increase.
Should the Contractor be required to haul longer dis-
tances during the term of this contract because of availa-
bility of landfill sites noted above, the City will reimburse
the Contractor for such longer hauls on the basis of $0.25
per ton-mile, computed from the centroid of the origin-
destination zone (as designated by the Missouri State
Highway Department) to the nearest approved sanitary land-
fill, less the distance from the origin-destination zone
to the closed facility.
The City of Kansas City, Missouri has no c-.ntrol of
the operations of other governmental landfills, and therefore,
cannot comment on their operation.

over the prosecution of the work, enter into agreements with
/
others for the work, or to use such other methods as in his
opinion may be required for prosecution of the work in an
acceptable manner.

/.

SUMMARY OF REFUSE PROGRAM SURVEY RESPONSES
The following tabulation is a summary of responses to selected ..questions by
personnel of the Refuse Division to householders with listed telephone numbers in
Kansas City, Missouri during calendar year 1971 and 1972. Efforts were made to
insure that the respondents vere selected in a random manner from the population
by geographic zone and in a uniform proportion to the total universe of customers
served. In the AI -il 1971 survey, some householders were called that vere not
customers therefore their answers were not recorded. In the July and December
1971 and 1972 surveys' only customers with telephones were called (surveyed).
Persons called in each survey were as follows, April 250 j July 26lj December
1971, 325; and December 1972, 368. The April survey had 11 questions and the July
and December survey had lU basic questions each.

Computation of Kansas City
Waste Generation Projections

-------
COMPUTATION OF REFUSE WASTE GENERATION PROJECTIONS
(1) RESIDENTIAL WASTE GENERATION
The following data for each origin and destination zone
(OD zone) projected residential waste generation:
1. OD zone number:
2. Population 1970
on 1970 census.
3. Population 1980
4. Population 2000
5. Waste per day,
Assigned
(POP1970)
(POF1980)
(POP2000)
1972 (WPC)
by MARC.
Figures
fron MARC based
Prediction by MARC.
Prediction by MARC.
Assumed to be 2.2 Ib
The procedure for computing the projected generation
follows :
!• Estimate the interuediate population figure. This
is done by assuming a straight-line increase'or
decrease in population between the gTve~n~ ye a r s , 1970,
1980, and 2000. The average increment in population
is determined and multiplied by the year needed. For
example, the 1985 population (POP1985) is:
POP1985 = POP1980 + 5/20{POP2000 - POP1980)
To illustrate, for
334, and POP2000 =
= 742. '
OD zone 287, POP1970 = 211, POP1980 =
1967. POP1985 = 334 + 5/20(1967 -334)
2. Estimate the projected waste per capita per day.
Waste per day is increased by 1% yearly. In 1985,
it is 2.504 Ib./day, compounded annually.
3. Convert the waste per capita per day figure in Ibs.
to waste per capita per year in tons. This is done
by multiplying by 365 and dividing by 2000. In
the example, 2.504 Ib/day equals .457 tons/year.
4. Compute the projected waste generation. This cal-
culation is the product of the population and waste
per capita figures. Population for OD zone 287
was projected at 742 for 1985, and the waste per
capita was calculated at .457 tons/year. Waste per
year for OD zone 287 for 1985 is therefore projected
to be 339 tons (742 * .457) .
(2) COMMERCIAL WASTE GENERATION
The technique used for computing projected commercial
waste generation is analogous to that for residential. The
following input data are used:
1. OD zone number: Assigned by MARC.
2. Employment 1970 (EMP1970): Figures from MARC based
223
-------
on 1970 census.
3. Employment 1980 (EMP1980): Prediction by MARC.
4. Employment 2000 (EMP2000): Prediction by MARC.
5. Waste per day, 1972 (WPE): An estimation based
on figures from MARC giving the. proportion of
employment in several industrial categories and waste,
per employee in each category. An aggregate waste
per employee figure was calculated as a weighted
average for the types of commercial activity pre-
sent in 'Industrial Analysis Areas', and this figure
was assigned to each OD zone in each area. See the
next page for further information.

NOTE: To assign this difference to 1973, whether the difference is an increase or a decrease,
the following computation is made:
Construction: 21 * 27 = 0.77 incremental (increase) per year
0.77 x 10 years = 7.7 incremental change for year 1973.
This amount is added on t-> the figure of the base year 1963.
In this case 41+8 (round off from 7.7) = 49 employees undar the Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) '"Contract Construction".
The annual waste generation developed in the Urban Market Analysis Area
of "Contract Construction", is the product of:
49 employees x 4.07// x 260 days/year e 25.48 tons'/year
NOTE: Each columnar difference would undergo the same development.
-------
The procedure for determining the projected commercial
waste generation is identical to that for residential waste
generation. Employment is interpolated between given years,
the waste per employee factor is increased by 1% annually,
and the two are multiplied together to give the projection.
Annual waste generation is based on 260 working days per year
