G. RECYCLING AND YARD WASTE DIVERSION PROGRAMS <br /> 1. Overview <br /> During the first contract year, the first two-thirds of Santa Ana's waste stream <br /> will be diverted for processing primarily at the Sunset Environmental MRF in Irvine. <br /> Based upon the experience gained during this period, routing of the bin collection <br /> trucks will be analyzed to determine the optimum routes to enhance the recovery <br /> of recyclable materials. Diversion of the yard waste and construction/demolition <br /> (C&D) material are key in obtaining the City's diversion goals. Customer <br /> compliance with the yard waste bagging program will be closely monitored and <br /> Great Western Reclamation will work with the City staff to develop additional public <br /> education programs and compliance programs. <br /> Great Western Reclamation is currently directing about 200 tons per day of <br /> construction/demolition material to Sunset for processing recovery, and test <br /> processing has , begun at Sunset on both the residential and commercial <br /> wastestreams to determine processing methods and anticipated recovery levels. <br /> Limited wet/dry routing of the bin collection trucks has been undertaken to <br /> establish a database to determine collection costs versus added material recovery <br /> benefits. <br /> Beginning on or before July 1, 1994, the City's wastestream will be directed to <br /> the Santa Ana MRF for processing where it is expected that the experience gained, <br /> program developed and custom designed sorting systems will greatly increase the <br /> amount of material recovered. <br /> Great Western will provide consultant service, up to $20,000 per fiscal year, as <br /> necessary to modify the City's SRRE if requested by the City, based on the County <br /> of Orange AB 939 Local Task Force or the State of California requirements. <br /> 2. Sunset Environmental MRF Recycling and Diversion Levels <br /> The Sunset Environmental MRF will be able to divert up to 20%of the incoming <br /> Santa Ana wastestream in the first year of the contract. Beginning in Phase 1, July <br /> 1, 1993 - December 31, 1993, the facility will divert approximately. 15% of the <br /> 29 <br />
