MEMORANDUM
Municipal Service Committee (MSC)
FROM: Tony Olmos, P .E., Director of Public wo'V, fJ,
August 9, 2022 DATE:
SUBJECT: Organics Program - Informational Item
On March 14, 2022, City Council adopted the SB 1383 organic recycling enforcement ordinance No. 7386. The ordinance formalized the organic recycling program in the City. However, as part of the action, City Council directed staff to bring the item back to the Environmental Advisory Commission (EAC) to discuss the organic program processing options and inquire if there are any recommended changes to the adopted ordinance.
On June 14, 2022, Public Works presented the City's organics program and ordinance to EAC.
The memorandum entitled "Climate Action Plan - Solid Waste Reduction Update" describes the organics program and ordinance (see Attachment). The organics recycling programs discussion included the following:
• Residential curbside organics recycling
• Backyard composting
• Community composting hubs
• Commercial & multifamily organics recycling
• Outreach & education
• Enforcement ordinance
EAC was very supportive of the City's current organics recycling program and did not have any comments on the adopted ordinance. EAC members felt that City is well ahead of the curve by being one of the few cities in the region to be compliant with the SB 1383 State mandate and providing organics recycling to all residential customers effective January 1, 2022. EAC recommended that staff work with community organizations such as churches, fraternities, sororities and public libraries to enhance the education and outreach. EAC also recommended that staff partner with the MASH program to supplement the work of volunteers for maintaining the community compost hubs and turning the compost.

Climate Action Plan (CAP) - Solid Waste Reduction Update The Pasadena Climate Action Plan (CAP) is an initiative to confront the issue of climate change. The purpose of the CAP is to analyze GHG emissions at a programmatic level, outline a strategy to reduce and mitigate municipal and community-wide GHG emissions, demonstrate Pasadena's commitment to achieving the statewide emissions reduction targets and serve as a GHG reduction plan. The CAP identified Solid Waste Reduction as a climate strategy to reduce Pasadena's GHG emissions. The Solid Waste Reduction strategy is to minimize waste by improving waste management and promoting reuse, recycling and composting.
The Public Works Department is making significant progress in implementing the following CAP measures:
WR-3.1 Implement a city-wide composting program to limit the amount of organic material entering landfills
WR-3.2 Implement 3-bin compost systems, in addition to recycling and landfill bins, at public parks to compost all trimmings and waste on-site to divert organic materials from the landfill and increase locally available compost
BACKGROUND
Organic waste consist of solid waste containing material originated from living organisms, including food, green material, landscape and pruning waste, lumber and sludge.
In October 2014, AB 1826 was signed requiring businesses to recycle their organic waste effective April 1, 2016 depending on the amount of waste they generate per week. AB 1826 phased in mandatory recycling of commercial organics, requiring businesses that generate four cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week to arrange for organic waste recycling services by January 1, 2019.
In 2016, SB 1383 was signed and expands organic waste recycling, reduces the amount of organic material going to landfills, and thereby reduces greenhouse gases
13 such as methane that significantly contribute to climate change. SB 1383 requires a 50% reduction in organic waste disposal by 2020 and 75% by 2025. Given that statewide disposal of organic waste was not reduced by 50% below the 2014 baseline disposal level in 2020, the organic recycling requirements on businesses were expanded and currently cover businesses that generate two cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week. In addition, SB 1383 requires that the City provide adequate resources for the implementation of the following programs. • Organic waste collection service to all residents and businesses • Establish edible food recovery and donation programs for commercial edible food generators
o Tier I (supermarkets wholesale food vendors) and
o Tier 2 (hospitals, large venues, large restaurants)
• Conduct education and outreach to all organic waste generators • Procure certain levels of recyclable and recovered organic products • Monitor compliance and conduct enforcement (January·1, 2024) Final rule making under SB 1383 was completed in November 2020 with regulations that were to go into effect January 1, 2022. Under the new law, cities in California are required to provide organic waste collection service to all residents and businesses.
Cities are required to adopt an ordinance to mandate the organic waste generators, haulers and other entities subject to cities' authority comply with SB 1383 regulatory requirements, including residents, businesses, institutions and food recovery organizations.
On March 14, 2022, City Council adopted the organic recycling ordinance No. 7386.
The ordinance formalized the organic recycling program in the City. However, as part of the action, City Council directed staff to bring the item back to the Environmental Advisory Commission to discuss organic processing and inquire if there are any recommended changes to the adopted ordinance.
RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE ORGANICS RECYCLING
The City launched the Residential Organics Recycling Program on January 1, 2022.
Public Works evaluated several options for recycling organic waste generated by residential customers. Options for recycling organics are limited since there are a lack of organics processing facilities/infrastructure to receive organic waste in Southern California. The following table compares the main two options considered, observations and recommendations for implementation:
Alternatives
Anaerobic
Digestion/
Criteria Compostina Compostina Cost Difference
Method Bagged Food Waste Mixed Food Waste --
and Yard Waste and Yard Waste (i.e.
no baas)

Equipment 5 Side Loaders 10 Side Loaders $2.SM capital
Personnel 5 Operators 1 0 Operators $540K annual
Food Recovery More Beneficial Less Beneficial --
Hierarchy
The anaerobic digestion/composting alternative was the preferred option since the transfer facility is 20 miles closer. This allows the collection operations to be unchanged and avoid the need to increase the size of the solid waste truck fleet and operators.
In addition, anaerobic digestion is higher than composting on the Food Recovery Hierarchy. The Food Recovery Hierarchy (i.e. see image below) prioritizes actions organizations can take to prevent and divert wasted food. Each tier of the Food Recovery Hierarchy focuses on different management strategies for wasted food.
The top levels of the hierarchy are the best ways to prevent and divert wasted food because they create the most benefits for the environment, society and the economy.
0���''°"""'" Food Recovery Hierarchy
15 BACKYARD COMPOSTER
Pasadena residents may compost at home by purchasing a backyard composter at cost ($53) from the Public Works Department. Residents may receive a free backyard composter if they attend a compost workshop conducted monthly and show proof of residency.
COMMUNITY COMPOSTING HUB
In collaboration with the community, Pasadena is establishing community compost hubs in City parks. The goal is to site the hubs in every Council District. Residents will be able to drop off vegetative food scraps that will be turned into soil amendments. The hubs are ideal for residents who do not have a backyard or time to compost themselves.
Each compost hub will have sufficient capacity to process food waste from 70 households. The compost hubs are divided into 3 bins. First, food scraps are placed in bin number one. Once the first bin is filled, volunteers transfer all 1,200 pounds of rotting food into bin number two. Finally, when the first two bins are full, the material is transferred to the third bin for curing. The table below list the proposed locations of the community compost hubs.
Park Sites Council District
Brookside 1
La Pintoresca 1
McDonald 2
Memorial 3
Victory 4
Villa Parke 5
San Rafael 6
Allendale 7
Public Works has begun the initial groundwork for establishing the compost sites. Staff has met with Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, MASH and Council District Liaisons to review specific site locations. Community outreach meetings are being scheduled to receive feedback from the neighbors located in the vicinity of the proposed sites.
COMMERCIAL & MULTIFAMILY ORGANICS RECYCLING
All commercial businesses and multifamily complexes are required to arrange for organic waste collection service through an approved Pasadena franchise hauler. The service may be provided through a three, three-plus, two or one container collection service. The type of service depends on the service offered by the franchise hauler, availability of space for containers and customer preference.
OUTREACH
Staff has been conducting outreach to businesses and residents to prepare for the new organics recycling program. Staff partnered with the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce,
\
16 Old Pasadena Management District, Playhouse Village and South Lake Business Association to host virtual SB 1383 workshop for Pasadena businesses. The Chamber of Commerce recorded a webinar and provided it to its members. The City also sent a description of the food waste recycling program to our residents using the utility bill insert. Staff is excited and appreciates the efforts of the residents that are already participating in the program and will continue to educate and encourage more participation as SB 1383 continues to roll out. There is also a significant amount of information regarding our program on our website.
Public Works teamed with the Pasadena Media Foundation to create an instructional video that shows residents how to recycle by bagging food waste and placing it in their existing yard waste container. The video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XlwdcF2G4A&t=35s
To amplify its efforts, the City is seeking the services of a consultant to provide strategic recommendations to identify campaign focus and messages to resonate with various customers within Pasadena. Consultant, in coordination with Public Works staff, will develop an advertising and awareness campaign to help the City achieve goals outlined in SB 1383 and the Zero Waste Strategic Plan. The campaign will raise awareness of Pasadena's organics program and motivate customers to participate by recycling their food waste. A key data point for the strategy will be feedback collected from stakeholders in order to develop the messaging to encourage recycling and as needed at later points to fine-tune the message.
ORGANICS ENFORCEMENT ORDINANCE
As mentioned, on March 14, 2022, the City Council adopted Organics Recycling Ordinance No 7386 included as Attachment A. The ordinance is required by SB 1383 to mandate that organic waste generators, haulers and other entities subject to cities' authority comply with SB 1383 regulatory requirements including residents, businesses and food recovery organizations. The ordinance is intended to be a regulatory document that will require enforcement to begin on January 1, 2024. The ordinance does not discuss the specific form of organic recycling since that is left to the individual cities to determine.
