Section 1 <br />Geographic and Solid Waste Stream Evaluation <br /> <br />shown in Table 2. These calculations are based on tonnage of C&D reported in the <br />County Waste Di. sposal Report and an estimate of residential and non-residential <br />sectors provided.by county staff. <br /> <br />Table 2. Estimated Waste Disposed by Sector, FY 2000-01 <br /> <br /> PERCENT OF <br />TYPE ~)F WASTE TONS WASTE STREAM <br />Residential 31,968 17% <br />Non-r~idential 65,500 35% <br />Constr~action and Demolition 90,040 48% <br />TOTAL 187,508 100% <br /> <br />As shown above,~the county estimates that of the total waste disposed, 17% is <br />residential waste~ 35% is non-residential (Commercial, industrial, and institutional), <br />and 48% is C&D._: This represents a substantial change in the percentage of waste <br />stream compositibn compared to that reported in the 1997 version of the plan. Most <br />notable is the increase in C&D waste, which increased from 1% in FY 1996-97 to 48% <br />in FY 2000-2001. It should be noted, however, that only the C&D values are based on <br />actual recorded tonnages. Residential and non-residential tonnages (and <br />corresponding p~centage of waste stream) are based on estimates. The major <br />nonresidential waste generators in the county are Fieldcrest Cannon (now Pillowtex), <br />Phillip Morris, Ca~oarrus Memorial Hospital, Stanley Works, Pas & Seymour, and <br />Coming. <br /> <br />Land clearing and inert debris (LCID) is handled by the County and each <br />municipality. Land clearing debris is chipped by each entity and used for mulching <br />and composting. <br /> <br />The county does not have a current compositional study, at this time, of its own <br />residential waste. ! Therefore, Table 3 is taken from Volume I of the North Carolina <br />Recycling and Solid Waste Management Plan. This state study shows that the most <br />prevalent materials in the residential waste stream are paper, plastics, and organics. <br />Using the tons of residential waste that Cabarrus County and its municipalities <br />estimated were disposed in FY 2000-2001, the amounts of different materials in the <br />local waste streanl can be calculated. <br /> <br />P \Cabarrus. 1271~38870 Update Solid Wa~e Man Plan, N11~-a~menl 2t~reporls~Draff Repon~Secl~3n 1 <br /> <br />1-2 <br /> <br /> <br />
