BACKGROUND
On October 31, 1989, the Board of Supervisors directed the
Resource Recovery Specialist to report to the Environmental
Affairs Committee by February 1, 1990 on discussions with
franchise haulers in West Pittsburg and Discovery Bay areas
regarding their plans to have curbside recycling available
throughout their service area by December 31, 1990 . This report
should also include plans of franchise haulers to provide this
service for the Oakley and Bethel Island area, as well as a
timetable for implementing the program.
Staff reported that there are programs where certain household
hazardous wastes (e.g. used motor oil) are collected as part of
the curbside recycling program. Our Committee would like to
obtain the input and recommendations of the Joint Committee on
Household Hazardous Waste and from the franchise haulers on the
feasibility of providing this service.
