hat the City Council approve the purchase of organic waste products from Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. to satisfy 2024 SB 1383 procurement target and authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase order. 2) A

ACKGROUND
T
he City of Jurupa Valley (“City”) is required to comply with various State mandates for the purpose of achieving landfill diversion. Diversion is the process of redirecti ng waste away from landfills so they may be recycled or reused. The State of California (“the State”) relies on the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, known as CalRecycle, a department within the California Environmental Protection Agency to develop regulations associated with waste and recycling laws passed by the legislature.
O
n September 19, 2016, Senate Bill 1383 (“SB 1383”), the Short -lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act, was signed into law and established statewide methane emission targets and is the most significant waste reduction mandate to be adopted in California in the last 30 years. The statewide goal under SB 1383 is to reduce organic waste disposal by 75 percent and increase edible food recovery by 20 percent by the year 2025. In addition to establishing these statewide goals, jurisdictions were required to adopt an organic recycling ordinance, which the City adopted in December 2021 as Ordinance No. 2021-
27. This legislation requires businesses, multi -family dwellings, and single -family residential properties to have access to recycling programs that collect food waste, green waste, wood waste, and fibers, such as paper and cardboard.
RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2
ANALYSIS
To comply with SB 1383, the City implemented organic waste collection services to all residences and businesses. Organic waste includes green waste, wood waste, food waste, fibers, etc. In addition to implementing an organic waste recycling program, cities are required to procure organic waste products such as compost, renewable gas, and mulch. The quantity of organic waste products to be procured by each jurisdiction is dependent on the population multiplied by .08 tons per resident. Based on this calculation, the City will be required to procure 8,648 tons of organic waste products annually.
Given the magnitude of organic waste to be procured, CalRecycle is allowing jurisdictions to procure in phases. In 2023, the City was required to procure 1,505 tons of compost.
On December 7, 2023, the City Council approved an agreement between the City and California Wood Recycling, Inc., also known as Agromin. Agromin successfully fulfilled the procurement target and the compost was delivered to a farm in Corona, California.
In 2024, the regulations require the City to procure 3,260 tons of compost . On July 18, 2024, the City Council approved the fourth amendment to the solid waste franchise agreement between the City and Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. (“Burrtec”). Included in the fourth amendment is a procurement provision which allows Burrtec to act as the City’s director service provider and assist the City in meeting its recovered organic waste procurement as required by SB 1383. During rate negotiations, the City also requested Burrtec to fulfill 30% of the City’s required procurement target. Burrtec satisfied its obligation and delivered compost to a farm located in Winchester, California and provided free mulch to Jurupa Valley residents in April of this year.
To satisfy the remaining procurement target, City staff approached Burrtec and other companies that work with organics facilities to produce compost.
Proposer Total Amount
Zero Food Print $33,345.00
Burrtec $35,100.00
Agromin $40,448.36
While Zero Food Print provided the lowest quote, there is no guarantee that the procured organic waste will remain in the Inland Empire. Zero Food Print provides compost throughout California depending on the need. For this reason, Staff is recommending the City partner with Burrtec to supply the organic waste product. Burrtec will distribute the compost to a regional park located in nearby Chino, California . In addition, Burrtec will supply compost and mulch at the City’s bulky item clean up events at Patriot High School.
There is no additional agreement needed to partner with Burrtec to supply the organic waste products. The fourth amendment provides Burrtec the ability to act as the City’s Page | 3
direct service provider. Pending Council approval, the City will issue a purchase order to Burrtec for $35,100.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If approved, the organic waste product will be purchased using CalRecycle grant funds from the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant program, account number 285-2850-58024. No general fund monies will be used.
ALTERNATIVES
1) Elect not to fulfill 2024 procurement target.
2) Provide alternate direction to staff.
