CITY OF SAN BERN.- 1DINO - REQUEST I R COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
To continue reducing the City's waste stream going to landfills by
25% as required by AB 939, the Department of Public Services Refuse
Division is proposing a six month pilot commercial greenwaste
recycling program for select locations in the city. Data resulting
from the pilot program will be used in planning citywide recycling
programs which must be in place prior to 1995.
This pilot program will integrate with the City's existing
commercial refuse collection program without the need for
additional kinds of trucks by substituting recyclable greenwaste
material pickup for a portion of existing refuse pickups beginning
in September 1993 .
The program will be offered to customers with appropriate waste
generation characteristics, for a rate per load which is less than
current disposal charges. The wood waste and/or greenwaste will be
delivered to local grinding companies for grinding into landscape
mulch or powerplant fuel.

RESOLUTION NO.
1 A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A COMMERCIAL GREENWASTE
2 RECYCLING PILOT PROGRAM.
3 WHEREAS, jurisdictions within the State of California are
4 mandated by the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989
5 (AB 939) to divert 25% of their solid waste stream from landfill
6 disposal by the year 1995; and,
7 WHEREAS, an evaluation of waste stream content was made in the
8 Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) and determined that
9 greenwaste exists in the commercial waste stream in sufficient
10 percentage quantity to achieve significant diversion if separated
11 from the waste stream; and,
12 WHEREAS, as examination with respect to the City of San
13 Bernardino's existing refuse collection system has been made of the
14 potential for efficiently collecting greenwaste separate from the
15 waste stream using commercial roll-off bin service; and,
16 WHEREAS, commercial roll-off bin refuse collection is currently
17 provided to many businesses in the City of San Bernardino; and,
18 WHEREAS, substitution of greenwaste-only roll-off bin service
19 at a reduced rate in lieu of a portion of commercial bin refuse
20 pickups is a foreseeable and recommended method of diverting the
21 majority of greenwaste from certain customer locations while
22 maintaining operational economy; and,
23 WHEREAS, the Department of Public Services, with responsibility
24 for solid waste collection within the City of San Bernardino, seeks
25 to test the aforementioned substitution prior to citywide
26 implementation,
