HAZARDOUS WASTE DOOR-TO-DOOR COLLECTION
PROGRAM
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to execute an Assignment Agreement with
Curbside, Inc., and WM Curbside, LLC to continue the services of the Used Oil and Household
Hazardous Waste (HHW) Door -to -Door Collection program.
BACKGROUND
On January 17, 2011, the City was informed that Curbside, Inc., was purchased by Waste
Management and will be operating under the new name WM Curbside, LLC.. Per the direction of
the City Attorney, an Assignment Agreement must be executed by the City, Curbside, Inc., and
WM Curbside, LLC so that service to our residents can continue without interruption. The
execution of the Assignment Agreement will not change the cost of the contract to the City. To
date, the agreement has been executed by both Curbside, Inc., and WM Curbside, LLC.
Since 1995, Curbside, Inc., has been partnering with the City to provide used oil and HHW
door-to-door collections. The program is offered as a free service to City residents as a safe and
convenient means to properly dispose of used motor oil and HHW materials such as paint, car
batteries, and other common household chemicals.
The Door -to -Door Collection program continues to be the most convenient and successful option
for disposing of HHW. Other than the Door -to -Door Collection program, residents have only two
options to properly dispose of HHW. Residents can either transport their materials to a permitted
collection facility in Sun Valley or the Antelope Valley or wait for Los Angeles County Public
Works Department to host the annual one -day collection event.
The current contract with Curbside, Inc., was approved by City Council on October 24, 2006.
The term of the agreement was for one year with the option to extend services for up to four
additional years. The current contract is set to expire on November 30, 2011.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with this action. The cost associated with this- contract is budgeted each
fiscal year using the Stormwater Utility Fund and the Used Oil and Filter Recycling Grant.
