Inventory Sheets for Backhaul
(from the Integrated Solid Waste Plan Template for Alaska Native Villages, by Zender
Environmental Health and Research Group www.zendergroup.org)
Note that the text in red is for filling in. Replace the red text/numbers with your community’s
information.
The table below is to estimate how many backhaul-able special wastes you have stockpiled or
sitting around your community right now. You can use this to plan for backhaul or for Spring
Cleanup. If you are interested in backhauling, you must let the transporters know how much
waste you have, and what type. For the excel version of this table (that calculates column D
automatically), see http://www.zendergroup.org/docs/SWM_Plan_tables_2010.xls

For the below table, list the types and amounts of materials that are planned to be
backhauled. Remember:
The total amount of wastes available for backhaul =
your stockpiled wastes + your annual generated wastes.
Refer to your stockpiled waste table and the appropriate annual generated wastes table for
these numbers.
NOTE- the annual waste generation estimates how much waste is generated. Depending on
your program and your community, some of the wastes generated may be difficult to recover for
backhaul. For example, most of the lead acid batteries that are discarded in the trash instead of
dropped off at a storage area probably won’t be available for backhaul. Recovering batteries
from dump cleanups is difficult, and some won’t be found.
Also, remember your waste generation happens each year. So if you plan for backhaul in 3
years you will have your stockpiled wastes plus 3 x your annual generated wastes.
And you may not be able to backhaul all of the stockpiled wastes at once. Try to be realistic
about what can be accomplished in a backhaul effort. For example, maybe only way you can
get white goods backhauled out is by taking advantage of cargo planes returning back to
anchorage from a construction project. If so, you would estimate how often you have
construction projects (which is work you researched in Chapter 4 for community development
and in the construction waste table). (Let us say that is every 2 years). And you would estimate
how many white goods each plane could carry (let’s say that is 10 white goods). Then under
“estimated date(s) for backhaul you could write fall 2011, fall 2013, fall 2015, etc. 10 at a time.
For the first column, the weight per item is available in the stockpiled waste table.
For future backhauling, note when the environmental program in your community should contact
the barge company to check if a backhaul is planned for the upcoming year for your community.
