Note: The City's current franchise hauler, Waste Management, offers varying levels of trash, recycling, and food waste collection services to businesses and multi-family in the City. The City currently offers commercial food waste recycling and commercial and multi-family commingled recycling services with Waste Management until 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 commercial and multi-family full 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 generators via the enforced 'opt-in' approach described in the franchise agreement. Explanation: Per Continuing Violation #1, 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. Page 8 of 8 City Council 19 –13 3/1/2022
