Note: The City's current franchise hauler, Waste Management, offers varying levels of trash, recycling, and food waste collection services to residents, businesses and multi-family complexes in the City. The City currently offers commercial food waste recycling, and residential, commercial and multi-family commingled recycling services with Waste Management through June 30, 2022. Additionally, the City underwent an RFP process for a new hauler agreement that aligns with SB 1383 and selected Republic Waste Services as its new franchise hauler in 2021. The new franchise agreement, which contains all SB 1383-required programs including residential, commercial and multi-family organics recycling programs, will be effective July 1, 2022. Mandatory collection of all waste streams is required under the City's mandatory ordinance that will go into effect April 2022. The City will need until December 31, 2023 to implement organics recycling programs at all non- compliant commercial and multi-family generators via the enforced 'opt-in' approach described in the franchise agreement. The residential organics program will automatically begin on July 1, 2022 when residential yard waste carts effectively become the new organics carts. Explanation: Until the new franchise agreement is effective on July 1, 2022, the City is unable to provide a full menu of compliant organic waste collection services to commercial businesses and multi-family accounts, that meet the requirements of Section 18984.1 - 18984.3. Ongoing program roll-out and container delivery for commercial businesses and multi-family accounts will take an estimated 18 months using the enforced 'opt-in' approach described in the franchise agreement. Rollout of programs are estimated to be significantly onerous for the City and franchise hauler due to limited container supply and order delays. Description: The City has not yet implemented recordkeeping requirements for compliance with organic waste collection services as the City's new hauler contract will not begin unil July 1, 2022. SB 1383-compliant reporting standards are included as a requirement in the new agreement. Explanation: Until the new franchise agreement is effective on July 1, 2022, the City is unable to include all of the information in its Implementation Record as required by Section 18984.4 as it pertains to compliance with the organic waste collection services. City will provide all current available data and will continue to do so when the agreement is in place and when all programs are executed. Description: The City has not implemented compliant organic waste collection services to divert organic materials from the landfill. Explanation: The new franchise agreement, which contains all SB 1383-required programs including residential, commercial, multi-family and industrial organics recycling programs, will be effective July 1, 2022. Collection of all waste streams is required under the City's mandatory ordinance that will go into effect April 2022. The residential organics program will automatically begin on July 1, 2022 when residential yard waste carts effectively become the new organics carts, which will include processing and diversion. The City will need until December 31, 2023 to implement organics recycling programs at all non-compliant accounts for commercial, multi- family, and industrial generators via the enforced 'opt-in' approach described in the franchise agreement.
