S958A-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S958A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in
relation to requiring a solar powered trash compacting garbage
receptacle pilot program

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this bill is to encourage a more efficient method of
collecting and disposing of waste in public spaces in the state of
New York.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This legislation amends the parks, recreation and historic
preservation law by adding a new section, 3.27.

JUSTIFICATION:
Trash collection is a necessary but high cost action for governments.
The goal is to reduce time, waste, and make collection of trash more
efficient. A solar powered trash compacting garbage receptacle can
store 5 times the amount of trash as a standard receptacle. with the
use of wireless technology to monitor real-time waste levels, a
manager can deploy staff as necessary to the receptacle, rather than
conducting arbitrary pick-ups, therefore reducing fuel costs, staff
costs, and C02 emissions.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.7092-A of 2010, Referred to Environmental Conservation

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
