CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FO%R COUNCIL. ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUMMARY
The City must update its original recycling plan and add a new
planning element to show where recyclables may be sent. Staff has
prepared documents and has received favorable State and Regional
Waste Advisory Task Force review. These documents are consistent
with current plans for citywide recycling and are ready for
adoption through a public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
That the public hearing be closed and that the resolution adopting
the nondisposal facility element (NDFE) and the letter of addendum
to the City's source reduction recycling element (SRRE) be
approved.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with the California Integrated Waste Management Act
of 1989 (AB 939) , the City of San Bernardino adopted an SRRE in
1992. Subsequently, Assembly Bill 3001 was adopted which requires
an additional planning document, NDFE. The NDFE must be formally
adopted and submitted to the California Integrated Waste Management
Board (CIWMB) by August 31, 1994. Along with the NDFE, any
revisions to the SRRE must be submitted as a letter of addendum by
the same date.
DISCUSSION
At the meeting of August 1, 1994, the Mayor and Common Council set
a public hearing specifically on this date (August 15th) for the
purpose of adoption of a Non Disposal Facility Element (NDFE) and
a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) letter of addendum.
Information was distributed at the August 1st meeting outlining the
anticipated use of the following facilities: future recycling plant
to be developed, ' intermediate loading center for recyclables,
recycling plant which processes the City's pilot program materials
and a greenwaste processor which accepts the City's commercial
greenwaste material.
The Mayor and Council were also informed that a letter of addendum
to the SRRE had been prepared by staff describing the City's plan
to shift the lower greenwaste and commingled recycling system ahead
of the more expensive Material Recovery Facility (MRF) to meet the
1995 goal to reduce the waste stream by 25%.
IMPACT ON THE BUDGET
There is no impact on either the General Fund or Refuse Enterprise
Fund budgets.

Re: Letter of Addendum to the City of San Bernardino's Source Reduction and Recycling
Element
Dear Ms. Yandell:
This letter of addendum amends the final draft of the Source Reduction and Recycling Element
(SRRE) adopted by the Mayor and Common Council on March 2, 1992. The amendment
pertains to the selected alternatives listed in the SRRE Recycling and Compost Components
(Chapters 4.4 and 5.4 respectively) as described below. These programs will be implemented
throughout 1994, 1995, and 1996.
RECYCLING COMPONENT PROGRAM SELECTION (CHAPTER 4.4, PAGES 4-25
THROUGH 4-27)
• Omit Alternative 4 (Drop Off Centers) and Alternative 5 (Buy Back Centers) and add
Alternative 6 (Multifamily Collection).
Due to a general decrease in market value and available local outlets for recyclables,
drop off and buy back centers will not be used. However, the City will include
commingled recycling for multifamily dwellings as its successful pilot residential program
is expanded citywide. This will provide all residents the opportunity to recycle a
maximum variety of materials.
• Postpone Alternative 9 (Mechanized Material Recovery) until the Medium Term Planning
Period (online for the year 2000) and add Alternative 7 (Commercial/Industrial Collection
Programs).
Based on the findings of a regional (East Valley Coalition) study on siting Material
Recovery Facilities (MRFs), the City is able to defer capital intensive MRF development
until the year 2000 in favor of citywide greenwaste collection for the short term
PRIDE

planning period (1995). Although citywide greenwaste collection will be implemented
as described in Chapter 5.4, the City will accomplish additional waste diversion through
various commercial recycling programs. These may include cardboard, glass, office
paper, tires, woodwaste, and demolition waste recycling.
COMPOSTING COMPONENT PROGRAM SELECTION (CHAPTER 5.4, PAGE 5-13).
• Omit Alternative 2 (Drop Off Facility) and Alternative 4 (Regional Composting Facility)
and augment Alternative 1 (Greenwaste Collection).
Due to the unexpected yet encouraging development of nearby composting and
greenwaste operations, the City no longer anticipates developing the centers listed in the
original SRRE. The City has successfully implemented a commercial greenwaste
collection program and will provide citywide, residential, automated greenwaste
collection. The City anticipates greater participation and waste diversion through this
program as compared to the one originally listed. This is due to the convenience and
ease of monitoring with the automated system as opposed to residents furnishing their
own bags or containers.
The City anticipates meeting the 25% diversion goal once these programs are fully operational
during late 1995. Future revision of the SRRE will be done after these and other unchanged
programs listed in the SRRE are implemented and adjusted to provide city residents and
businesses with efficient solid waste management.
Sincerely,
Mayor Tom Minor
