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. 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 and empties dumpsters for businesses with earlier operating hours. 1 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.
On May 19, 2026, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 0-2026-09. After the first reading of the Ordinance, it is recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 0- 2026-09, to amend Section 8.04.120 (Hours of Collection) of the Placentia Municipal Code to allow the City Administrator to authorize commercial customer trash collection services as early as 6:30 a.m. If adopted, the Ordinance will take effect 30 days after adoption.
Financial Summary:
