Ordinance Amending Solid Waste Regulations <br />March 15, 2022 <br />Page 2 <br />2 <br />4 <br />9 <br />6 <br />Implementation Efforts <br />City staff, Waste Management (the City’s current solid waste services provider), and <br />EcoNomics, Inc. (the City’s solid waste management consultant) are actively <br />implementing a business and multifamily organic waste recycling program, and have <br />implemented business food waste recycling programs as well, achieving over 30 percent <br />compliance. SB 1383 articles have been, and will continue to be, included in the Santa <br />Ana Green quarterly newsletter that is mailed to all residents in the City. <br />The new waste services agreement with Republic includes SB 1383-compliant organics <br />programs for all residents and businesses. In addition, Republic will have three City- <br />designated, full-time recycling coordinators dedicated to increasing organics recycling <br />participation. In partnership with the City, Republic has begun an education and outreach <br />effort for the new organics recycling programs, which will begin July 1, 2022. <br />To align with current state legislation and to be consistent with the State of California <br />mandates, the staff recommends repealing and reenacting the Santa Ana Municipal Code <br />Chapter 16, Article II - Solid Waste Collection Regulations (Exhibit 1). <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
