Phoenix Announces Winner of Design Contest for Resource Innovation Campus https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/public-works/3304Public Works (Trash and Recycling)12/19/2024 11:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/3304/Newsroom_RIC.jpgPhoenix Announces Winner of Design Contest for Resource Innovation Campus <div class="ExternalClassDED5A38C31FA41298A2CF82ED371494E"><html> <p>​Phoenix City Council selected Arizona-based architectural firm Krause as the winner of the C40 Cities Reinventing Cities Initiative to develop Phoenix’s Resource Innovation Campus. <br></p> <p>The Council voted to enter into a contract with Arizona-based architectural firm Krause to develop Phoenix’s <a target="_blank" href="/publicworks/ric">Resource Innovation Campus</a>. Through its design, Krause and their collaborators will target a fully carbon-positive building and Living Building Challenge certification, the most rigorous sustainability certification in the world. The campus's design will move the needle for the City of Phoenix’s goal of achieving 50% waste diversion by 2030 and zero waste by 2050, becoming a lynchpin to Arizona’s future, serving as an incubator for public-private partnerships and fostering sustainable business growth in the region.<br></p> <div><p>​“Phoenix has been a national leader in developing circular economy solutions that divert materials from landfills and turn waste into resources. This is an exciting step forward that builds upon this leadership and promises transformational, sustainable development in an important part of our city,” Mayor Kate Gallego said. “Twenty acres of unused land at the 27th Avenue transfer station will be designed for the Resource Innovation Campus, redefining how the built environment and the circular economy can be interwoven in a transformation development that celebrates the beauty of the Rio corridor and provides amenities for our community to enjoy. Combining state-of-the-art technologies with an innovative, community-minded design creates a new vision for a resilient desert business park that our residents can be proud of.”</p><div><br></div><span id="ms-rterangepaste-end"></span><img src="/publicworkssite/MediaAssets/RIC%20rendering.jpg" alt="Another rendering of the proposed RIC campus that gives a closer look at the area surrounding the building." style="margin:5px;width:485px;height:302px;vertical-align:baseline;" class="" /><br></div> <p>The 20-acre site of the future RIC is just south of the central business district at the 27th Avenue Transfer Station campus in the Estrella Village community. Estrella Village has been a manufacturing hub in Phoenix for more than half a century. The RIC provides an opportunity for job growth and economic revitalization in this historic area, and intersects with Senator John McCain’s legacy project, Rio Reimagined, which was created to restore and strengthen more than 55 miles along the Salt River and Gila River and create educational and promotional opportunities to protect the river's ecosystems. <br></p> <p>“Our design approach to Phoenix’s Resource Innovation Campus begins where the typical approach ends. Rather than seeking incremental improvements, we went beyond checklist-minded sustainability certifications in an effort to truly give back to the community and our environment through design,” said Michael Krause, Partner & Senior Designer at Krause. “RIC’s design will provide companies the opportunity to develop and research new technologies, ultimately creating a circular economy that benefits local business and residential communities alike.” <br></p> <p>The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.c40reinventingcities.org/">C40 Reinventing Cities​</a> competition strives to promote the development of zero-carbon developments worldwide and support local economies by repurposing underutilized sites and integrating innovative solutions to environmental and urban challenges. <br></p> </html></div>https://phoenix.gov/publicworksNewspublic-worksPublic Works
Don't Fuel Truck Fires: Valley Coalition Works Towards Keeping Hazardous Materials Out of Garbage Canshttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/public-works/3252Public Works (Trash and Recycling)10/24/2024 9:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/3252/Truck fire_Newsroom.jpgDon't Fuel Truck Fires: Valley Coalition Works Towards Keeping Hazardous Materials Out of Garbage Cans<div class="ExternalClass127E8F0D28D94912A1AA5F6A1C686D39"><html> <p></p> <p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> <span lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto">A coalition of valley cities and towns is reminding residents about the danger of throwing hazardous items in their trash cans. Things like pool chemicals, tiki torch canisters, and hot coals should never go in the trash. These and many other items can start fires inside garbage trucks, at transfer stations, or at the landfill.</span> <span style="" data-ccp-props="{}"> </span> </span> </p> <p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> <span style="" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="none">There have been </span> <span style="" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto">dozens</span> <span style="" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"> </span> <span lang="EN-US" data-contrast="none">of truck fires across the valley in 2024, including 12 in</span> <span lang="EN-US" data-contrast="none"> Phoenix. All of these trash fires (also known as hot loads) were caused by hazardous material inside trash or recycling containers -- common household combustibles like paint, batteries, electronics, and pressurized canisters. Each fire puts solid waste operators in danger, slows the collection process, harms the environment, and can cause damage to heavy equipment that must be repaired using either taxpayer or ratepayer dollars.</span> </span> <span style="font-size:16px;background-color:window;color:windowtext;"> </span> </p> <p></p> <p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> <span style="" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto">“When I saw the smoke, I thought, ‘Oh my goodness! This is a big-time hot load!’” said Anthony Guzman, a solid waste equipment operator with the City of Phoenix who has witnessed or been involved with four hot loads in just the last two years. “I was a little bit terrified, a little bit nervous. But at the same time, I’ve got to stop and think. This is very serious. You’ve got to think about the residents and the people around you – including yourself.”</span> </span> </p> <p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> <span lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto">All Phoenix garbage truck drivers, including Guzman, are trained to dump burning trash in a safe place (in the street, for example) as soon as they know a fire has started, and call 911. This practice helps prevent injury and vehicle damage while they wait for firefighters. Each garbage truck is also equipped with a fire extinguisher. Still, the best way to keep these employees safe is to keep all hazardous waste out of curbside trash and recycling bins to begin with.</span> </span> </p> <p></p> <p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> <span style="" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="none"></span> <span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":0}">The proper way to dispose of hazardous items is to use the <span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span>https://www.phoenix.gov/publicworks/recycling/household-hazardous-waste<a href="/publicworks/recycling/household-hazardous-waste" target="_blank">Household Hazardous Waste Collection​</a><span id="ms-rterangepaste-end"></span> program, which allows you to set an appointment for Public Works employees to collect the items directly from your doorstep.</span> </span> </p> <p>​<br></p> </html></div>https://phoenix.gov/publicworksNewspublic-worksPublic Works
New Bulk Trash Program Now in Servicehttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/public-works/3227Public Works (Trash and Recycling)10/2/2024 12:00:00 AMhttps://youtu.be/4xAl-6Ir7OsNew Bulk Trash Program Now in Service<div class="ExternalClassB75AF4FD0F544DD89A4593CCDE2DF3E5"><html>The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has formally launched its new Appointment-Based Bulk Trash program. The old quarterly collection schedule is now obsolete, and there will not be a quarterly schedule for 2025. From this point on, customers will get to choose when their bulk trash is collected!<br><br>Customers are reminded to <a target="_blank" href="/publicworks/bulktrash"><strong>set an appointment</strong></a> before placing large items out for collection. Customers can also call<strong><em> 602-262-6251</em></strong> if they prefer to schedule over the phone. The City is grateful for everyone following the <a target="_blank" href="/publicworkssite/Documents/Flyer_English_Appointment_Bulk_Trash.pdf"><strong>revised bulk trash guidelines</strong></a>.<br><br><strong>Community-Wide Collections </strong><br> Some HOAs, block watches, and other neighborhood organizations have already selected community-wide bulk trash collection days for their residents. Please check the list of <a target="_blank" href="/publicworkssite/Documents/bulk_trash_community_appointments.pdf"><strong>community-wide appointments</strong></a> to see if your neighborhood has a predetermined schedule. <br> <br><strong>Frequently Asked Questions </strong><br><em>How often can I schedule a bulk trash appointment? </em><br> Each customer may schedule one (1) appointment for the remainder of 2024. Beginning in January 2025, each customer will be allowed to schedule up to four (4) bulk trash collections each calendar year. Appointments must be made at least 3 business days in advance. <br>  <br> <em>When can I place my bulky items at the front of my property? </em><br> Once you have an appointment confirmed, you can place your items out no sooner than seven (7) days ahead of your selected date. Trash collection begins at 6 am each day, so we recommend you have your pile out no later than 5:30 am on your scheduled pickup date. <br>  <br> <em>How much bulk trash can I put out? </em><br> Each customer can place up to ten (10) cubic yards of bulk trash per appointment. That covers an area that's roughly 17 ft. x 4 ft. x 4 ft. <br>  <br> <em>What if I have more than 10 cubic yards of trash? </em><br> You still have options! You can either schedule an additional appointment, or take up to one ton of trash to either one of our<strong> </strong><a target="_blank" href="/publicworks/garbage/disposable"><strong>transfer stations</strong></a> each month for free. Please bring your ID and city services bill. <br>  <br> <em><strong>No Appointments on Halloween </strong></em><br> Halloween will be the first holiday period blocked off from the bulk trash calendar; there will be no appointments available on October 31 or for the 7 days immediately following. This will ensure that no trash piles are out while children and families are trick-or-treating. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day will be blocked off from the schedule in the same way. <br><br></html></div>https://phoenix.gov/publicworksVideopublic-worksPublic Works
