14 CCR section 18984.4 Recordkeeping Requirements for Compliance with Organic Waste Collection Services Continuing Violation # 1: The City has not yet implemented recordkeeping for organic waste.

The City has been working closely with its franchise haulers to implement requirements under section 18984.4 pertaining to recordkeeping and organics waste collection services. The City is currently in the process of rolling out its residential food waste program and anticipates that full rollout may take until October 31, 2022. SB619 allows flexibility for the jurisdiction to develop and implement local programs that achieve the state’s organic waste reduction goals effectively and efficiently.
14 CCR section 18984.5 Container Contamination Minimization 14 CCR section 18984.6 Recordkeeping Requirements for Container Contamination Minimization Continuing Violation #2: The City has not yet implemented the monitoring of contaminants being placed in a collection container by a generator through route reviews and/or waste evaluations, although the City has container contamination warning notices stipulated in the Sixth Amendment to Commercial Non Exclusive Solid Waste agreement .

Ongoing; the City plans to significantly expand efforts by April 2022 and will continue with substantial outreach efforts on a (minimum) quarterly basis thereafter.
Action: Proposed Schedule:
Explanation:
The City has continued to work with its commercial franchise haulers towards full compliance with SB 1383; however, as a result of ongoing impacts to labor and the supply chain the haulers have expressed difficulty in expanding services during these challenging times. Additionally, the City anticipates it may become necessary to extend the rollout of its residential food waste program to October 2022 and that full implementation of commercial and multi family programs will need to occur in December 2022. In this respect, SB619 allows flexibility for jurisdictions to develop and implement local programs that achieve the state’s organic waste reduction goals effectively and efficiently. The City’s ordinance requires all commercial businesses/multifamily to have collection service unless they are eligible for a waiver. The 6th amendment to the Franchise Agreement requires haulers to provide collection to all covered generators (i.e., any business or multifamily residential property subject to the provisions of AB341, AB1826, and SB1383).
Automatic or mandatory service means that the haulers will determine the level of service needed, assess if the commercial business meets a waiver threshold for either the blue or green container service, and then will provide the needed collection service to that commercial business or multifamily complex. 14 CCR section 18985.1. Organic Waste Recovery Education and Outreach Continuing Violation # 3: The City has not fully implemented Organic Waste Recovery Education and Outreach sufficiently for compliance.
