SUBJECT: Alhambra Environmental Services, Inc. �
Application for Refuse Transporation Vehicle Permit
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Grant permit number 133 to Alhambra Environmental Services, Inc. to collect and transport industrial
waste within Contra Costa County. Contra Costa County Code, Section 418-2.004 requires that no person shall
collect or transport any refuse on the public streets or highways of this county without first having obtained a
permit from the Board of Supervisors. The permit is recommended subject to the following conditions:
1. Post the $2,000.00 bond with the Board as required by Section 418-2.006 of the code.
2. Every vehicle used in the business of refuse collection shall have painted on the outside of each side
wall of the hauling body in letters not less than four (4) inches high and one (1) inch wide, the
following legible information in a color contrasting with the body color.
a. Name of Refuse Transporter
b. Permit Number Issued by the Board of Supervisors
C. Number of vehicle if more than one vehicle is operated by the transporter in Contra Costa
County
3. A means shall be provided to cover and contain refuse securely within the hauling body of every
vehicle so that no refuse shall escape.
4. Transporting vehicles shall be kept clean, and no nuisance of odor committed.
5. Must comply with the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 13,
Article 5.
6. Must comply with government ordinances and regulations that may be revised from time to time
concerning commercial and industrial waste collection and transportation.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 418.2 of Contra Costa County Ordinance defines "refuse" as garbage, combustible or
noncombustible waste, and putrescible solid or concentrated liquid wastes originating from household, business,
commercial, or hauling municipal and recreational refuse. The proposed recommendation for the permitting of
these types of solid waste haulers in Contra Costa County goes beyond the original intent of the code.
However, Alhambra Environmental Services, Inc. is mandated by Section 418-2.008 to obtain a permit to
transport refuse on the public streets or highways of this county.
