$ 445,000 $ 445,000 Refuse Trucks
The Public Works Department Solid Waste Division operates a fleet of automated refuse trucks to pick up residential trash, recycling, and green waste from residences throughout the City of Riverside. Each year the Solid Waste Division replaces automated refuse trucks; however, replacement of vehicles has not been consistent enough over the years. A large number of the City’s current fleet is due for replacement based on vehicle age, mileage and maintenance costs. Each vehicle will be replaced in accordance with the division’s equipment
replacement plan and federal, state and local environmental regulations.
$ 4,000,000 $ 4,000,000
Refuse Non-Payment Loss
The Refuse Division has had many challenges during the past few years, including an aging fleet, a 15% increase in the amount of residential waste picked up by City crews,
implementation of State mandated and unfunded programs
including residential organics recycling, dramatic costs for processing recycled materials, lost revenue from the Street Sweeping Sign Replacement effort, and additional revenues lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the COVID-19
Pandemic there was a substantial increase in delinquent accounts. The Refuse fund anticipates lost revenues in excess of $1M as a result of these delinquent accounts, and is not eligible for the same State-funded revenue replacement programs as other utilities including water and sewer services.

This does the same thing as the large scanner but is used for smaller indoor scenes and takes a fraction of the time that the large scanner takes.
