Agreement with Great Western Reclamation <br /> April 19, 1993 <br /> Page 4 <br /> The company owns and operates a Materials Recovery <br /> Facility (MRF) which is located in Irvine which will be <br /> used to begin the City' s recycling program. In addition, <br /> Great Western has purchased 15. 1 acres (the former Kerr <br /> Glass site) directly adjacent to their facility on Grand <br /> Avenue and has submitted the required plans to the City <br /> for developmental review. That process is not yet <br /> completed. Should the site not be developed for any <br /> reason, Great Western will utilize existing MRF <br /> facilities in Stanton and/or Anaheim. <br /> The residential recycling program will begin in July 1993 <br /> with one-third of all refuse being processed at the MRF. <br /> Two-thirds of the refuse will be processed in January <br /> 1994 and the remaining one-third will be processed in <br /> July 1994 . Residents will be required to separate only <br /> their newspapers and yard waste. <br /> The City' s composting program will coincide with these <br /> implementation dates. Separated yard waste collected <br /> from residences will be taken to a separate composting <br /> facility for processing. <br /> 2 . Large item pick-up service at the curbside for <br /> residential customers <br /> Single family residences will be allowed two on-call <br /> curbside pick-ups per year at no cost. This will allow <br /> residents to eliminate large items stored on their <br /> property and will support the City' s ongoing efforts to <br /> clean up the neighborhoods. This service will replace <br /> the semiannual large item cleanup program presently held <br /> in various City parks. <br /> 3 . Competitive contractor rates for curbside service <br /> Great Western is presently paid $9.71 per month per <br /> customer for curbside service. The rate paid to Great <br /> Western under the new agreement will be $8 .70 per month <br /> for the first 6 months of the agreement, $9 . 70 for the <br /> second six months, and $10. 70 during the second year of <br /> the agreement. These are the lowest rates proposed and <br /> include the implementation of the City' s recycling <br /> program (see Exhibit 1) . <br /> 5F 150 <br />
