SUBJECT: REPORT ON NEWSPRINT AND WHITE OFFICE PAPER RECYCLING PROGRAMS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Request the Community Development Director to invite the
publishers of newspapers in the Bay Area, representatives of
the firm considering building a recycled newsprint or paper
mill in the City of Richmond, appropriate representatives of
the City of Richmond and the West Contra Costa Solid Waste
Management Authority to meet in an effort to reach agreement
on the economic advantages which might be achieved by having
a recycled newsprint plant in the County from which
newspapers in the Bay Area could purchase recycled newsprint
which will insure their compliance with the provisions of AB
1305 , which sets goals in terms of the percentage of
recycled newsprint which newspapers must use, beginning
January . 1, 1991. The Community Development Director is
requested to report the results of this effort to the 1990
Internal Operations Committee by February 1, 1990 and for
this purpose this issue is referred to the 1990 Internal
Operations Committee.
2. Request the Community Development Director to contact the
waste haulers serving the West Pittsburg and Discovery Bay
areas and request clarification of their plans for achieving
curbside recycling throughout their service area by December
31, 1990 and request the Community Development Director to
report their response to the 1990 Internal Operations
Committee by February 1, 1990 and for this purpose refer
this issue to the 1990 Internal Operations Committee.

3 . Request the Community Development Director and County
Counsel to consider ways in which the County can regulate or
prohibit the disposal of corrugated cardboard and wood waste
to landfills in Contra Costa and report their
recommendations to the 1990 Internal Operations Committee by
February 1 , 1990 and for this purpose refer this issue to
the 1990 Internal Operations Committee.
4. Request the Community Development Director to outline a
detailed program by which current white office paper
recycling programs in County offices can be evaluated, a
determination can be made of the number of offices not
currently served by a white office paper recycling program,
an analysis of the existing waste stream can be made and
additional offices considered for the white office paper
recycling, how an expansion can be made into the areas of
recycling confidential documents and determine the cost and
process for developing a multi-material collection program
system using Work Alternative Program participants and a
processing center for multi-material at the Marsh Creek
Detention Center. Request the Community Development
Director and Sheriff-Coroner to report their findings and
recommendations, including potential financing mechanisms
for this recommendation, to the 1990 Internal Operations
Committee by February 1, 1990 and for this purpose refer
this issue to the 1990 Internal Operations Committee.
5. Remove this item as a referral to our Committee.
BACKGROUND:
Our Committee has continued to follow the problems associated
with the recycling .of white office paper throughout 1989. The
major problem is that recycled paper continues to be more
expensive than virgin paper and is often unavailable in a timely
manner.
Our Committee was very pleased to see that AB 1305 was passed by
the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor this year.
AB 1305 requires users of newsprint to meet specified goals for
the use of recycled newsprint in the future, with the percentage
figure increasing until by the year 2000, 50% of all newsprint
used in California must be made from recycled paper. We recently
conducted a survey of newspaper publishers who publish papers
which are distributed in Contra Costa County. The Tribune
reports that 580 of their newsprint tonnage comes from recycled
newsprint which is composed of 50% recycled paper. USA Today
reports that they currently use 11% recycled newsprint. The San
Francisco Newspaper Agency, which prints both the Chronicle and
the Examiner, uses about loo recycled paper. While Lesher
Communications does not currently use recycled paper they have
agreed to undertake a test to see how it will work in their
presses.
Most newspapers in the Bay Area which were surveyed buy their
recycled newsprint from out of state or outside the country due
to the lack of a local recycling mill and the relatively short
supply of recycled paper. There has been discussion about a firm
locating in Richmond to build a recycled newsprint mill. We
believe that the Board of Supervisors can serve a valuable
function by getting the newspaper publishers and the
representatives of the firm which is considering building a
recycled newsprint plant in Richmond together to discuss the
mutual economic advantages of having such a firm available
locally to serve the growing needs of the newspapers,
particularly in view of the need to comply with AB 1305 within
the next 14 months.
The attached chart shows which areas of the County have curbside
recycling and which do not. We are particularly concerned with
those unincorporated areas of the County which are not franchised
by any of the Sanitary Districts and which do not have curbside
recycling available or even in the planning stages. We are
therefore asking that the waste haulers in the two largest of
these areas, West Pittsburg and Discovery Bay, be asked how they
plan to meet the Board' s objective of having curbside recycling
collection programs available countywide by December 31, 1990.
The pilot programs being planned for the Shadelands Business Park
and Bishop Ranch both have the potential to become model
recycling programs which will serve as a guide to other
industries as to how both white office paper recycling programs
and multi-material (paper, glass and aluminum cans) recycling
programs can be operated successfully.
A major contributor to the bulk of landfill disposal is
corrugated cardboard. This is unfortunate and unnecessary since
there is a ready and available local market for this waste
through the Gaylord Corporation in Antioch. We are asking for an
indication from staff as to how the Board of Supervisors can
contribute to eliminating or substantially reducing the disposal
of corrugated cardboard into landfills.
There is a great deal now being done through the County' s white
office paper recycling program - much more can be done. In the
past year, over 33 tons of paper were collected and sold,
returning more than $3000 to the County General Fund. However,
many locations in the County do not participate in the white
office paper recycling program, because of the cost of picking up
small quantities of paper and other related constraints. It may
be feasible to consider a multi-material collection and recycling
program, centered at the Marsh Creek Detention Center and
utilizing Work Alternative Program participants. However,
Community Development reports that designing and implementing
such a program could almost be a fulltime assignment for one
staff person, at least for a while. We are, therefore, asking
Community Development and the Sheriff to outline a process,
budget and timeline for such a program along with an analysis of
possible revenue sources.
Attached are a number of staff reports on this subject which are
incorporated herein by reference.

1:00 p.m. ; Item 1 and 5. Report on Percentage of Newspapers in the Wastestream;
Responses from Newspaper'Publishers and Market
Development Strategies for Old Newspapers.
Introduction
Old newspapers comprise a significant part of the Contra Costa County
residential waste stream (approximately 9 percent or 74,500 tons per year) . It
is estimated that about 28-32% is recovered from the waste stream. County waste
reduction efforts can be benefitted by diverting the ONP from the waste stream
followed by effective recycling. A complete newspaper recycling program is
dependent upon the development of markets that will increase the capacity and
demand for waste paper. Concurrently, the State of California legislature
recently passed AB 1305 which promotes market development for old newspaper.
One scenario for recycling old newspapers would involve establishing a
cooperative market "loop", involving local recycling centers, deinking newsprint
mills, and local newspaper publishers.
Assembly Bill No. 1305
This bill was strongly supported by the Board of Supervisors in July 1989. The
legislation declares:
1. The recycling of old newspapers (ONP) saves landfill space, reduces energy
consumption and preserves timber.
2. Adequate markets for the ONP is a critical component for increased
recycling.
3. Increasing the demand for newsprint made from ONP will stimulate
manufacturers of newsprint to use larger amounts of ONP in• their
production.
4. The development of ONP markets is beneficial to the state and the use of
recycled content paper should be encouraged to the maximum feasible amount.
The bill requires that on and after January 1, 1991, all consumers of newsprint
use at least 25% recycled content, calculated on a ton per year basis. The
percentage requirement increases in a set time frame:
30% on and after January 1, 1994
35% on and after January 1, 1996
40% on and after January 1, 1998
. 50% on and after January 1, 2000
Newsprint consumers are required .to certify to the Department of Conservation on
or before March 1 of each year the tons of newsprint with recycled content
percentage used during the preceding calendar year. The bill also requires that
suppliers of newsprint certify the amounts of recycled-content newsprint
shipped to newsprint consumers. Violations will be monitored by the Department
of Conservation and civil penalties assessed.
The Cooperative Market Loop
In a successful cooperative market loop, newspaper publishers purchase ONP from
recycling collection programs. In return for an equitable discount on
recycled-content newsprint, the publishers supply the ONP to the deink newsprint
mills from which they purchase their printing paper. The mill trucks obtain the
pre-purchased ONP from the local recycling agencies after delivering finished
newsprint to the publisher. In this back-haul system, mill trucks deliver
product and obtain supply in the same general area, eliminating an empty return
to the mill .
This scenario requires that a firm agreement be reached between the newsprint
publishers, the deinking newsprint mills and the recycling programs regarding
all price and logistical details. The first step toward reaching this goal
would be negotiations to determine the willingness of the parties to set up the
cooperative system. The mills and publishers must be encouraged and informed of
the overall benefits of such a system. These benefits would include: 1)
publisher contribution to county waste reduction plans and subsequent
involvement in community improvement; 2) publisher meets social demand to
produce environmentally sound product; 3) deink newsprint mill can develop new
markets in the County for its recycled newsprint; and 4) the County recycling
program obtains new markets for ONP.
Newspaper Publisher Survey
Six newspaper publishers surveyed were Lesher Communications which publishes the
Contra Costa Times, West County Times, Valley Times, Antioch Daily Ledger,
Pittsburg Post Dispatch, San Ramon Valley Edition, Oakland Tribune, USA Today
(Ganette Publications), and San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner (SF Newspaper
Agency) . The survey was designed to obtain information concerning: newsprint
purchase policy, newsprint suppliers, history of use of recycled newsprint, and
the interest in using newsprint with a high recycle content.
Lesher Communications reported that they currently purchase virgin fiber
newsprint. However,- they have planned an experiment in the pressroom with 500
tons of 40 percent recycled newsprint produced by STORA, a Swedish company which
owns a mill in Nova Scotia. A Lesher Communications representative reported
that he believed that this company had perfected a method that used an amount of
old magazines as well as ONP in the production of recycled content newsprint.
The magazine stock is added to create a higher tensile strength for the
newsprint. The Lesher representative reported that they are definitely
interested in using recycled content newsprint and complying with the AB 1305.
The Oakland Tribune reported that currently 58 percent of their newsprint
tonnage comes from Stone Container Newsprint of Snowflake, Arizona. Stone
Newsprint currently produces 50 percent recycled content newsprint, therefore
the company believes they are already in compliance with AB 1305.
USA Today reported that they currently use 11% recycled, which they recognize as
the North American production percentage of recycled newsprint. The
representative stated that their policy is to use this percentage as a guideline
as to the amount of recycled newsprint used in their total newsprint
consumption. Regarding to AB 1305, the representative stated that the company

Dear Mr. Hearst:
The Board of Supervisors is interested in action to increase the market for old
newspapers in Contra Costa County. We are aware that the current market for
newspaper has declined considerably. A major use for the collected newspaper is
in the re-manufacture of newsprint at mills.
Therefore, we would like to inquire about the recycled paper content of the
newsprint used in your publication and whether you have considered or would
consider increasing the use of recycled newsprint. We are aware of several
newsprint paper mills on the West Coast that produce paper with high proportions
of recycled fiber. We also know of a number of newspapers which use such paper.
If you are not now using this, can you tell us why you are not?
Would you be kind enough to provide this information to Sheila Cogan, the
County's Resource Recovery Specialist, at the Community Development Department,
Administration Building, 651 Pine Street, 4th Floor - North Wing, Martinez, CA
94553-0095, or telephone at 646-4196. We would be pleased to receive your
response by September 29, 1989.
Sincerely,
Tom Torlakson, Chair

County Administrator's Office
(Ganette Publications) is currently developing plans for compliance. Under
consideration is a plan for west coast production of USA Today with recycled
content newsprint manufactured by either STORA of Nova Scotia or Quebec/Ontario
Paper of Therold, Ontario, Canada. Reportedly, brightness and color production
quality that meets their advertiser standards are the main concerns in the use
of recycled newsprint.
The San Francisco Chronicle and the San Francisco Examiner have a cooperative
production agreement through the San Francisco Newspaper Agency. The agency
consumes approximately 160,000 tons of newsprint per year. Currently
16,000-20,000 tons per year of recycled content paper are . purchased from
Jefferson Smurfitt of Oregon City, Oregon. An agency representative stated that
more is not used because of lack of availability and lack of sheet quality
necessary for high speed printing. The representative stated that the quality
clause of AB 1305 is going to make it an extremely, complex issue. Certain
printing operations require certain standards that are currently unattainable
with high content recycled newsprint. Also, supply was reported as a major
obstacle: the west coast does not have the supply of recycled newsprint to meet
the demands of AB 1305. The representative stated that AB 1305 did not take
into consideration the operational dilemmas caused by mandatory quotas of
recycled newsprint use by newspaper publishers.
The appropriate representative for Gibson publishing company (Martinez News
Gazette) was unavailable for survey. The appropriate representative for the New
York Times was also unavailable. The information will be obtained as soon as
possible.
Newsprint Manufacturer Survey
There are three deinking newsprint mills in the western United States: Smurfitt
Newsprint Corp. , Oregon City, Oregon; Golden State Newsprint Co. , Inc. , Pomona,
California; Stone Container Corp. , Snowflake, Arizona. These mills were
surveyed to determine: a) the recycled content of the newsprint; b) the amount
of newsprint processed and produced daily; c) price competitiveness relative to
virgin fiber newsprint; and d) newsprint quality relative to virgin fiber
newsprint.
Recommendations for Increasing ONP Recovery
Planning began last spring to develop and build a recycled newsprint or papr
mill in the city of Richmond. With the increased demand fostered by the new
legislation, such a mill will be appropriate. Councilmember Rosemary Corbin is
pursuing this concept with the city's Economic Development Department.

1:00 p.m. ; Item 3. Status of Plans to Implement Commercial Recycling in
Business Parks
To support commercial waste reduction and recycling efforts in_ the county,
the objective is to support establishment of several model commercial
recycling programs as examples for local groups, other businesses and the
press. The first of these is a multi-material collection program to include
paper, glass and aluminum cans at Shadelands Business Park in Walnut Creek.
Several firms located at Shadelands will soon begin separation programs.
These include Dow Research Center and its neighbor Del Monte Corporation, and
the Lennon Lane office complex. Equipment and service will be provided by
Pacific Rim Recycling as this company is now the city's designated commercial
recycling collector.
The second model program is located at Bishop Ranch; over 17,000 people are
employed there. The lead company is Pacific Telephone. They, with the
support of the City of San Ramon and Pacific Rim Recycling (or another
collector) , are organizing recycling activities within the Business Park. A
survey is being circulated by Pacific Telephone to all interested businesses
to gauge the current level of recycling activity and interest in expanded
recycling. Those businesses include: Beckman, Chevron, Davie McKee, IBM,
Nynex, Marriott Corporation, Metropolitan Life, Northern Telecom, Sunset
Development, Toyota Distributers, Toyota Credit, Union Carbide and Pacific
Bell . This program was highlighted in a major feature article that appeared
in Business Times of September 18, 1989 (attached).
In our effort to encourage the collection and recycling of white office
paper technical assistance to various business groups. More than 500 copies
of the "Recycle Your White Office Paper" brochure have been distributed.
In order to increase activity in the business sector the Contra Costa Council
has formed a task force on solid waste. The group is planning a major
information campaign on recycling for February, and that issue of their
magazine, Contra Costa Update, will focus on solid waste issues.
Another major component of commercial recycling activity in the County is the
Phoenix Program sponsored by the California Glass Recycling Corporation.
This organization was formed by the glass packagers in the state. Under the
program, Contra Costa is served by Mt. Diablo Paper Stock and Richmond
Sanitary Service. To date the county has produced the greatest tonnage of
glass collected from eating and drinking establishments in the state. This,
despite the fact that our county has fewer liquor licensees than other
similar counties. Later this month the California Restaurant Association and
the Department of Conservation Division of Recycling will be expanding that
program to encourage restaurants and bars to recycle not only glass, but
aluminum and plastic beverage containers as well .
A major concern in the county is the continued dumping of old cardboard
cartons and woodwaste at the landfill , especially as the major market for
these materials is located in Antioch. The Gaylord Corporation mill is
expanding to increase its capacity 25% and will have an even greater need for
corrugated cardboard to make liner board used in manufacturing new cartons.
In addition, tons of woodwaste are used as fuel to power the plant. The
woodwaste is processed for use by commercial firms, then sold to Gaylord.
It would be appropriate to consider action to prohibit the landfilling of any
corrugated cardboard or woodwaste, both in export agreements as well as at
the interim transfer station. The reasons for this action are as follows:
o Currently, considerable amounts of the corrugated cardboard are being
landfilled. No accurate date is available, as a waste audit has not
been done, but the total could be as much as 20 to 45 per cent of the
commercial wastestream.
o Prohibiting materials from being landfilled is a more effective method
of removing them from the wastestream than establishing costly and
complex collection systems. When the prices for cardboard are high,
small entrepreneurs can collect large amounts of it to sell , but usually
most of this cardboard is landfilled as is now the case. This method of
collection cannot be relied upon for recovery of cardboard. . The current
collection system is inadequate and to put a more complicated system in
place would be too costly.
o There is a readily available market while at the present time the
collection of local materials is woefully inadequate, forcing the
Gaylord Corporation to purchase waste cardboard from as far as 1,500
miles away. Prohibiting land-filling of cardboard would be reasonable
way to substantially reduce waste being exported, while at•the same time
supplying the demand of the local market.
