Discussion:
The City of Placentia and Republic Services have reached an agreement to execute an Amended and Restated Exclusive Franchise Agreement for solid waste collection services.
This agreement is expected to go to Council in June 2026. To provide more efficient and effective solid waste collection services, Republic Services may request earlier pickup times for specified commercial customers and locations. These earlier pickup times can be beneficial for commercial customers because it minimizes traffic during the morning commute 1 and empties dumpsters for businesses with earlier operating hours.
This item pertains to the Placentia Municipal Code Section 8.04.120 (Hours of Collection) of Chapter 8.04 (Solid Waste Collection). The current Section language is as follows: There shall be no collection of discarded materials before 7:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. in any area of the city. It is recommended that this Section be amended to: There shall be no collection of discarded materials before 7:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. in any area of the city. However, the City Administrator may authorize a hauler to collect discarded materials from specified commercial customers or specified commercial locations as early as 6:30 a.m., if the City Administrator determines such collection would be in the public interest.
