22 . Will medical waste be specifically excluded from commercial or for that matter curbside disposal? Medical waste is currently considered a hazardous material. Generators of medical waste are responsible for the proper disposal of such wastes normally utilizing a company that specializes in medical wastes disposal. Medical waste will be specifically excluded from bin, roll-off and curbside disposal. 23 . Compost facilities - Several compost facilities in Orange County have all the currently required permits to operate and are not violating any permits or regulations. Does the City require or expect any permits beyond what is necessary for these facilities to operate in Orange County? The City expects that compost facilities will have all permits required by state law. 24 . Can temporary roll-off haulers operate until contract expiration date of 7/1998? How about thereafter? Temporary roll-off haulers will be permitted to operate within the City five years from the date that notification of the City' s intent to grant exclusive rights for temporary roll-off service is provided. Notification is expected to be given in July, 1993 . 25. Please explain intent of Agreement Section 24 . (b) which limits landfill increase pass-throughs to 75% for tonnages taken directly to the MRF? The City is assuming a 25% diversion on all refuse taken to and weighed going into the MRF. Thus the contractor will receive 75% of any increase in the landfill component of the rate should the County increase landfill fees during the term of the agreement. The 75% pass-through also serves as a financial incentive to the Contractor to recycle in excess of the 25%. 26. Will City require source separation of newspaper along with yard waste? All customers will be requested to separate their newspapers. At this time the City has not decided whether or not to request bundling of such newspapers. This will be done through public education efforts.
