RECYCLING PROGRAM
CHAPTER IV
4- Description and Design of the Recycling Program
4.1 Characteristics:
The proposed project consists of two components, which are the creation of a Recycling Program in which the residents or residents of the Santo Domingo Oeste Municipality participate and the construction and commissioning of a Recyclable Materials Reception Plant that are collected from the participants in the Recycling Program through trucks and personnel provided by the Municipality.
4.2 Social and Economic Benefits:
The installation of a Plant and a Recycling Program will bring multiple benefits to the Dominican Republic, especially to the municipality of Santo Domingo Oeste, since recycling protects and expands jobs in the manufacturing sector, increasing the global competitiveness of the Dominican Republic..
4.2.1 Benefits of Recycling:
Recycling reduces the need for landfills and the incineration of waste.

In addition, residents of the municipality of Santo Domingo Oeste will receive special container bags to store recyclable waste that will be collected regularly.
4.2.1.2 The Municipal Authorities:
The City Council of the Municipality of Santo Domingo Oeste will invest fewer resources in terms of time and money in the transport of the garbage collected by virtue of the fact that according to estimates by the Municipal Authorities, 40% of the waste collected is recyclable and therefore, as neither the Collection companies or City Council trucks will have to take them outside the municipality. The City Council may negotiate a lower fee per ton of garbage collected.
The City Council may also negotiate a reduction in its spending on the payment for discharge at the Duquesa Landfill, which according to data obtained from the City Council authorities amounts to half a million pesos per month.
4.2.1.3 The Dominican Government:
The Dominican government will benefit because in the construction and installation of the Recycling Plant, resources will be invested in both capital goods and personnel expenses.
Another benefit to the government is that, as a result of recycling, imports of materials in our country will decrease, which in turn will contribute to obtaining a positive result in the trade balance and greater growth in the national economy.
The operation of the Recycling Plant will generate at least twenty direct jobs and about 60 indirect ones, in addition to the fact that this new company will pay the treasury the taxes for the benefits it generates.
In addition, the government, in a general sense, will obtain a positive international assessment in its efforts to protect the environment and reduce sources of pollution.

It will be managed that the City Council identifies with paint the trucks that will collect the recyclables.
4.10 Design of the Recycling Program:
4.10.1 Systems for the Collection of Recyclables:
The proposed system for the Collection of recyclables would be based on a strategic alliance between the City Council of Santo
Domingo Oeste and the company responsible for the recycling plant.
Under this agreement, the Company responsible for the Recycling Plant, with the support of the municipal council, will manage through community organizations that residents and companies in each sector separately compile recyclable waste and take it out to the sidewalks on certain days. In turn, on those same days the specialized trucks designated by the City Council will collect these materials and transfer them to the Recycling Plant located within the same Santo Domingo Oeste Municipality.
This scheme assumes that the Santo Domingo Oeste Municipality City Council will be responsible for directing, coordinating and controlling the routes and schedules of the trucks specialized in the collection of recyclables, just as if they were the garbage collection trucks; The only difference with the system that currently governs is that there will be coordination with the Recycling Plant, which in turn will coordinate with the residents of the municipality so that there is a synchronization between the placement of recyclable waste in the sidewalks by those who produce them and timely collection by specialized trucks.
4.10.2 Outline of the Education Plan for Recycling:
The scheme in which Education for Recycling will be structured in the Municipality of Santo Domingo Oeste includes three aspects that are "Promotion of the Recycling Program", "Participatory Education" and "Environmental Encounters".
All the activities contemplated within this scheme entail adequate planning and a timely evaluation which will measure whether the results obtained have been in line with what is expected in the planning or whether it will be necessary to redirect said activities.
Each of the aspects contemplated within the Recycling Education Scheme of this project are detailed below:
4.10.2.1 Promotion of the Recycling Program:
The Promotion of the Recycling Program will be the initial form of communication through which the municipalities of Santo Domingo Oeste will be reached.
The channel to be used to spread the message and attract the participation of the municipalities towards the Recycling Program will be based on community organizations and essentially on their leaders who will be the first to receive the guidelines and at the same time they will act as multipliers, in addition materials will be used printed. In this sense, the list of community organizations coexisting within the Santo Domingo Oeste municipality will be managed with the City Council, the representations of the Political Parties in the area and other entities.
Other channels to be used will be wall painting, radio, television, cell phone messages and the Internet.
As for the Message to be promoted, it will be coded based on the results obtained in the research carried out both in the community and in the entrepreneurs and whose essential characteristics are the brevity, precision and consistency with which the ideas are presented.
4.10.2.2 Participatory Education:
In this stage of the educational scheme of the Recycling Program, the leaders of the community with better conditions will be recruited and given the opportunity to specialize in everything related to recycling activities in the municipality, with the commitment that they are links between their communities and the Directorate of the Recycling Program.
Likewise, the communities participating in the Recycling Program will receive contributions from the Recycling Plant which will serve to support part of the activities of their organizations.
4.10.2.3 Environmental Meetings:
Finally, the education scheme for Recycling contemplates the organization of large-scale Events in which both the municipal authorities and community leaders will have exemplary participation. Likewise, the linking of these spaces to Environmental Encounters both on a National and International Scope will be encouraged.
The Environmental Encounters will constitute the highest scale in the Education for Recycling scheme, its fundamental characteristic will be that it will constitute the means through which the proposals of community organizations regarding Recycling and the environment of both the municipality and the the Dominican Republic and the world.
Documents that constitute proposals aimed at strengthening the public policies of Environmental Management in the Municipality of Santo Domingo Oeste must come out of these meetings, which will be delivered to both the Trustee (Mayor) of the Municipality and the Chapter House of the City Council.
For the preparation of the aforementioned documents, the commissions that are appointed will constitute the key to fulfill the proposed objectives. In this sense, both the participants and the topics that should be worked on in these Environmental Meetings and the entities that are responsible for these topics are detailed below:
4.10.2.4 PARTICIPANTS:
- Environmentalists and Representatives of Community Organizations Authorities and Officials of the Municipal City Council Officials of the Secretary of State for the Environment Representatives of the Directorate of the Recycling Program Representatives of the Recycling Plant
4.10.2.5 Topics to work on:
4.10.2.5.1 Municipal Environmental Policy:
Within the Environmental Policies, what is related to the topic "Water" will be analyzed, that is, both for human consumption and wastewater. Likewise, other topics to be dealt with continuously are “Air”, “Soil” and “Solid Waste”.
4.10.2.5.2 Environmental Competencies:
Regarding environmental competencies, these refer to the definition of the links that each component of environmental policy has or will have with Public, Private or Non-Governmental Institutions in order to solve or follow up on existing problems or work on preventing future ills. Examples of these entities are the Santo Domingo Oeste City Council, the Santo Domingo Aqueduct and Sewer Corporation (CAASD), the Secretary of State for the Environment and Natural Resources, among others.
4.11 Cleaning and Packaging System for Recyclables:
Regarding the Recyclable Cleaning and Packaging system, the following has been provided:
4.11.1 Cleaning system:
The aspect related to the cleaning and hygiene of the recyclables that are received at the Santo Domingo Oeste Recycling Plant will depend a lot on the technical and control requirements of the purchasing companies. To this end, this study contemplates, in a second stage, conducting market research aimed at those companies that expressed their interest in acquiring the recyclable materials collected through the proposed Program.
In this investigation, it will be studied in greater detail and specifications which types and under what conditions these companies would acquire the recyclables that will be marketed from the Recycling Plant. Likewise, the quantities and frequencies in which they will be sued will also be studied.
It is obvious to note that in order to guarantee the quality of these products, it is contemplated to implement a sanitary inspection method that meets the requirements of the General Directorate of Quality Standards and Systems of the Secretariat of State for Industry and Commerce of the Dominican Republic..
4.11.2 Packaging System:
Regarding the Packaging of Recyclables designed for this project, it is closely related to the type of machinery to be used, in this sense, through the use of the Horizontal Baler with Open End and Automatic Tying all the plastic materials and others that need to be crushed, they will be compressed, crushed and packed automatically.
In this system there will be the intervention of the plant personnel who will select, from the Internal Container of the Plant, the recyclables that need to be shredded and will place them on the Corridor Conveyor which in turn will transport them to the Packaging machine so that leave them ready for shipment and marketing.
4.12 Recyclable Marketing System.
Once the collection, sanitization, shredding and / or packaging process is completed (as applicable) this Recycling Plant in Santo Domingo Oeste will have the mission of reintroducing into the productive market the materials that were initially considered garbage or waste by households and companies located in this territory. This reinsertion into the market will be done through a simple marketing system.
The methodology conceived to commercialize recyclables will be similar to that used in any industry, in this sense, it will have a portfolio of clients to whom it will sell the amounts of recyclables that they require on credit or in cash. Likewise, a route will be designed through which the orders that are received will be distributed.
Within the marketing system, a marketing campaign is contemplated that allows the achievement of a unique position for the Recycling Plant as it is the first in the Dominican Republic based on a Program that involves a community.
The bales produced at the Recycling Plant will be marketed directly to the client companies, therefore, within the Marketing System, it will not be necessary to establish any distribution channel that involves intermediaries. What will be evaluated internally will be the quality, time and cost of delivery of the bales or batches.
