BACKGRQUNQ/REASFQR RECOMMENDATIONS
On October 6, 1998 the Board of Supervisors directed Community Development staff to
work with RSS and the WCC1 to coordinate an inaugural greenwaste program in
selected areas in the unincorporated area served by RSS, In February 1999 the curbside
greenwaste program began. The cost of the inaugural greenwaste program was balanced
by the overall cost saving from the introduction of curbside solid waste service.
Customers could request 64 gallon carts or use their own cans for which stickers were
supplied that identified the cans as greenwaste containers. Table I shows data for the two
areas served by the inaugural program, There are 848 households in the Rancho Road
and Sherwood Forest areas and 1088 households on the Montalvin and Bayview areas.
The setouts in the Rancho Road and Sherwood Forest areas rose from 10% in February
1999 to 32% in June of 1999. However this was an increase from 26% to 68% of those
customers who had indicated they would participate in the program. In the Montalvin and
Bayview, areas the percent of subscribers participating rose from 25% to 75% from
February to June and participation of all households rose from 8% to 23%.
Graph I shows Green Material set-out from February through June 14, 1999. Setouts
went from 167 to 519. Graph 2 shows the percentage increase in participation for those
who had "subscribed" (said they would participate) and the percentage of participation for
the entire service area.
RS S has indicated a willingness to continue the current inaugural program until a
greenwaste program can be instituted to cover the entire area in unincorporated West
Contra Costa County served by RSS,
On October 6, 1998 the Board directed staff to return to the Board with a status report after
six months of operation of the greenwaste and curbside programs and make a
recommendation regarding the preferred method of continuing or modifying the program.
Staff requests direction from the Board to coordinate the development of greenwaste for
the entire unincorporated service area. Staff would work with RS S and WCClWMA and
with residents before making recommendations to the Board concerning a permanent
greenwaste program.
W1MA has the capability of sorting mixed paper at its facility. Staff from WCClWMA
and RSS have been working on the expansion of recycling services to include mixed paper
in the beginning of the year 2000, Staff also requests direction from the Board to work with
RSS and WCCIWMA to include mixed paper in the materials recycled in the County's
service area and to coordinate the inclusion of mixed paper recycling with the greenwaste
program
The additions of greenwaste and mixed paper to the County's curbside recycling programs
should substantially help the County to achieve its AB939 diversion goals. The goal for
instituting the two programs is January of the year 2000.
