Purpose of Report
This report has been prepared at the request of the Fishers Island Waste Management District
to assist in meeting the following goals:
1. The District desires to modernize its facilities and methods for how wastes and
recyclables will be handled in the future and, where appropriate, processed on the Island.
Its goal is to maximize the on-Island management of materials and thereby, to the extent
possible, reduce reliance upon the Ferry District and corresponding hauling costs for off-
Island transportation of waste and recyclables;
2. Prepare a concept level plan that shows how these new facilities and programs can be
implemented at the District’s sites; and,
3. Prepare an estimate of the costs of the improvements that would contribute to meeting the
goals. This has considered implementing the improvements under two alternative
operating conditions: on-going use of two locations, or combining all activities at the compost station.
