MANAGEMENT TO INCLUDE COMMERCIAL ORGANIC WASTE

PRESENTER: Darin Seegmiller
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council introduce and pass to second reading an ordinance entitled, "AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
AND RESTATING CHAPTER 15.44 INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT"
BACKGROUND
In October 2014, Governor Brown signed AB 1826 Chesbro (Chapter 727, Statutes of 2014),
requiring businesses to recycle their organic waste on and after April 1, 2016, depending on the
amount of waste they generate per week. This law also required that on and after January 1,
2016, local jurisdictions across the state implement an organic waste recycling program to divert
organic waste generated by businesses, including multi -family residential dwellings that consist
of five or more units. Multi -family dwellings are not required to have a food waste diversion
program at this time, but are required to recycle all other organic wastes. Organic waste, for the
purposes of AB 1826, means food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, non-
hazardous wood waste, and food -soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food waste.
The law phased in the requirements for businesses over time. On April 1, 2016, businesses that
produced eight cubic yards of organic waste per week were required to either donate their edible
food waste, or subscribe to organic waste recycling services provided by the City's exclusive
commercial franchise hauler, Burrtec. On May 24, 2016, the City Council approved an
amendment to the exclusive Franchise Agreement with Burrtec to allow rates for organic waste
services to be charged in conjunction with standard waste rates for businesses to voluntarily
recycle food waste.

In February 2020, CalRecycle required a formal plan for the implementation of AB 1826 be
submitted. Staff submitted the plan on February 28, 2020, which included information regarding
increased outreach, amended franchise agreements to accommodate organics recycling, and an
ordinance requiring commercial organics programs by 2021. CalRecycle approved the plan in
April 2020, determining it was sufficient for compliance with the organics laws passed by the
State of California. The City was one of many municipalities in Southern California to receive
this notification from CalRecycle. As a result, staff is recommending to Council to adopt the
changes in the municipal code to implement the approved Cal Recycle program.
As of September of 2020, CalRecycle has reduced the threshold to two cubic yards of solid
waste per week to fall under AB 1826 requirements. For the purposes of this law, solid waste is
the total of trash, recycling, and organics generated by covered businesses.
Since May of 2018, Environmental Services staff has conducted in -person outreach to 103
businesses that produce organic waste to discuss the requirements of AB 1826 and the methods
that could provide compliance with the law. In addition, Burrtec has sent numerous notifications
to all of their customers via quarterly newsletters, and an annual co -branded letter regarding the
requirements of the organics statute and how to satisfy those conditions. Waste Management, the
City's residential franchise hauler, has likewise notified multi -family complexes via letters,
emails, and phone calls to encourage participation in the green waste and landscape waste
program.
On October 29, 2020, exemption request forms were sent to all applicable businesses served by
Burrtec to allow for companies who do not qualify as organics waste producers. Approximately
300 exemption requests have been submitted, and staff are processing the requests to determine
which businesses qualify for the exemption. At this time, there are 70, out of approximately
1,500 total Burrtec customers, that are in compliance by either recycling their organic waste or
donating edible food to charity. Out of the remaining businesses, seven have qualified for
exemptions in accordance with AB 1826 guidelines. As for multi -family complexes, there are
currently 103 compliant locations, with 70 needing to either obtain green waste services or an
exemption.
The recommended action pertains to only the requirements of AB 1826. Later this year, staff
anticipates bringing additional items for the Council's consideration that will fulfill the
requirements of SB 1383, another organics -based diversion law. These future items will include
amendments to ordinances and franchise agreements to establish new organics recycling
programs with the intent of reducing the negative effect of greenhouse gasses on the
environment.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
None by the action.

WHEREAS, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, commonly
referred to as Assembly Bill (AB 939), codified in substantial part at Public Resources Code §
40000 et. seq., requires each local jurisdiction in the State to divert 50 percent of discarded
materials (base year 1990, state methodology) from landfills, and transformation facilities; and
WHEREAS, AB 341 (Chesbro) was enacted by the California Legislature making it a
policy goal of the State to divert 75 percent of solid waste away from the landfills by 2020,
through source reduction, recycling and composting; and

business that generates more than two cubic yards of commercial solid waste per week, including
