STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER ', A
Nl •
DATE: SEPTEMBER 29, 2021
SUBJECT: SENATE BILL 1383 ORGANIC WASTE REDUCTIONS POLICY AND
PROGRAMS DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
SUMMARY
On July 13, 2021, the City Council discussed Senate Bill 1383 statue, which imposes significant
organic and recycling waste reduction requirements to existing City waste collection policy and
programs. Cities are responsible for implementing Senate Bill 1383 regulations in their
communities and must coordinate with relevant county agencies, waste haulers, waste processing
facilities, recyclers, commercial businesses, residents, and edible food recover organizations. In
the same discussion, the City Council made a motion asking the City's existing Franchise Hauler
to submit a proposal to address and achieve compliance with Senate Bill 1383 during the existing
term of their agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council direct staff to proceed with the following:
1. The City Council accept the proposal submitted by Republic Services to achieve
compliance with Senate Bill 1383 during the existing term of agreement; or
2. The City retain an independent oversight through the procurement of a consultant to
develop, implement, and administer Senate Bill 1383 Organic Waste Reduction Program
at a cost of $65,000 for year one. This expense is not included in the 2021-2022 adopted
operating budget. Therefore, if this option is selected, a budget amendment will be
necessary. The amendment will be presented with the 1St Quarter Budget Report.
FISCAL IMPACT
Option 2 will require an amendment to the current Franchise Waste agreement. A confidential
proposal was provided to the City Council. Option 3 will require a $65,000 General Fund budget
amendment.

Republic Services SB 1383 Programs for the City of Rosemead
Republic Services has proudly serviced the residents and businesses in the City of Rosemead for many
years and has kept the City in full compliance with all California applicable laws and solid waste diversion
requirements. We strongly value our working relationship with the City of Rosemead and remain
committed to our longstanding partnership.
Republic is one of the most experienced solid waste service providers in Los Angeles, the state of
California, and the nation. We are fully equipped to continue providing excellent service to the City and
offer full compliance with all statewide recycling initiatives, including AB 939, AB 341, AB 1826, AB 1594,
and SB 1383.
About the Law
In 2016, Senate Bill 1383 was signed into law to combat climate change and reduce landfill methane
emissions. Methane is a climate super pollutant, 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Statewide
Targets include:
• Reduce organic waste disposal 50% by 2020 and 75% by 2025.
• Rescue at least 20% of surplus food currently disposed of by 2025 to feed hungry people.
SB 1383 goes into effect on January 1, 2022.
This law requires that jurisdictions contract with their waste hauler, Republic Services, to collect organics,
including food waste, and process it as a unique and separate material stream.
Who is affected?
Everyone. Residents, multi -family properties and complexes, businesses, schools, and public agencies will
all need to comply with the law and enroll in an organics recycling program.
How is it processed?
The law requires a significantly higher level of processing of organic material than current standards.
Processors are required to monitor, track, and ultimately limit the amount of organic material sent to
landfills after processing, requiring additional processing and the development of new systems to remove
contaminants and excess organic material that may have previously been sent to the landfill as residue.
�R�A REPUBLIC
SERVICES
Republic's programs to keep the City of Rosemead in compliance with the requirements
of SB 1383 include:
SB 1383 Item
Solution
Residential
Residential Service. Effective January 1, 2022, Residential (Single or Multi -Family)
Collection for
Customers receiving Carts -only service to commingle Green Waste, Food Waste,
Single Family and
food -soiled paper products, clean wood, in Carts designated for Green Waste and
Multi -Family Cart
will process such waste at an Organic Waste Processing Facility that complies
Service
with SB 1383
Commercial Bin
Republic's program includes using a 3 -container solution as described similarly for
Service
residential collection. The City currently has commercial food waste and single
stream recycling programs; thus, Republic Services will focus on enhancing
existing AB 1826 organicfood waste collection & AB 341 source separated
programs to all commercial customers. Customers will have access to various
sizes of bins and carts depending on space restrictions and material types
Record Keeping
Republic's cloud -based recording keeping system will maintain records on each
for Compliance
customer and any enforcement action and exemptions as required by SB 1383.
The City will have access to use this online tool.
SB 1383
Republic's contamination minimization program will include:
Contamination
Monitoring
• Route Reviews: Carts randomly selected and inspected along each route
annually
• Notify Customers: Cart tags will inform customers of proper material
separation
• Contamination Fee: Contamination fee will be charged to customers with
contaminated carts after an education period and warning system.
Republic will also dedicate a Recycling Coordinator and/or Route Auditor to
perform contamination monitoring requirements.
Container
Rosemead's current carts and commercial bins are compliant with SB 1383 lid
Labeling
color requirements. New containers requested of Republic will include graphic -
Requirements
based labels identifying the acceptable materials permitted within each source -
separated cart.
Republic will design labels and the City will approve the design of labels to be
affixed to all newly requested containers.
Education and
Republic will provide ongoing annual outreach and educational materials for all
Outreach —
residents and businesses, including a start-up education campaign informing all
Organics Program
customers about changes to their collection services and compliance with SB
1383
Edible Food
Republic will provide public education and outreach and coordinate with local
Recovery
food rescue organizations to help customers donate edible food to people in
need and meet the 20% recovery requirement. Republic will also manage the
data collection as required by SB 1383.
REPUBLIC
�V SERVICES
Monthly Rates
The proposed residential and commercial rates are as follows:
Enhanced Levels of Service for Greater Generator Participation
Republic's proposal offers a SB 1383 compliant program for commercial and multifamily dwellings with a
64 -gallon organics cart option at $66.00 per month, and a 1.5 -yard bin option at $146.81 per month.
The existing commercial recycling program currently includes a 3 -yard bin size. Republic proposes
enhancing the existing recycling services to include a 96 -gallon recycling cart size to provide commercial
customers greater flexibility in compliance.
Facilities
Republic Services is proud of our facilities, their capabilities, and our ability to achieve compliance with SB
1383. The City of Rosemead has the benefit of guaranteed capacity at our Republic -owned facilities
meeting SB 1383 compliance. We invite the council and staff to take a tour of our Anaheim Materials
Recovery Facility to see firsthand how we process the materials collected from businesses and residents
in the City of Rosemead.
Conclusion
Republic Services has had a widespread presence within the Rosemead community, and our employees
feel closely connected to your residents and businesses. Our intent with this proposal is to address the
City Council's motion by achieving compliance with SB 1383 during the existing term of our agreement.
Our goal is to get Rosemead fully educated and actively engaged in the new SB 1383 programs to help
drive success in partnership with the City
