RECONllIENDATION
Indicate that the Board of Supervisors continues to SUPPORT AB
3749 by Assemblyman Sher which would impose a surcharge of 5
cents on each quart of oil sold in the state and establish a used
oil recycling program funded from the surcharge.
BACKGROUND:
On March 27, 1990 the Board of Supervisors voted to support AB
3749. On April 18, 1990 the bill was amended.
Existing law requires the California Integrated Waste Management
Board to prescribe guidelines for providing facilities for the
deposit of used oil by persons possessing not more than five
gallons at one time at no cost to those persons. Existing law
also requires manufacturers of containers for lubricating oils or
industrial oils for sale to consumers in California to label the
containers or provide specified signs or other written material
to retailers. Existing law regulates used oil as a hazardous
waste and prohibits the disposal of oil except at a facility or
by a recycler .or hauler certified and with a permit issued by the
State Department of Health Services.
Assemblyman Sher has introduced AB 3749 which, as amended April
18 , 1990 , would enact the California Oil Recycling Enhancement
Act, under which every oil manufacturer would be required to pay

i
a . recycling deposit of five cents to the Integrated Waste
Management Board for each quart of oil sold or transferred to a
dealer for sale in this state on or after July 1 , 1991 , excepting
oil on which a recycling deposit has been paid.
The bill would require these revenues to be used for. specified
purposes related to the recycling of used oil. These would
include the adoption of a used oil recycling program which
promotes and develops alternatives to the illegal disposal of
used oil and which shall contain at least the following elements:
1. A deposit and refund system as described below.
2. The awarding of grants or loans to nonprofit and
governmental entities and businesses which collect or
recycle used oil.
3 . Local government projects may include one or more of the
following programs or activities:
* Curbside pickup of used oil containers by a local
government or its designee.
* Retrofit of solid waste equipment to promote curbside
pickup or disposal of used oil at used oil ' collection
centers designated by the local government entity.
* Establishment of publicly operated used oil collection
centers at landfills or other public places. '
* Provision of containers and other materials and
supplies that the public can utilize in an
environmentally sound manner to store used oil for
pickup or return to a used oil collection center.
4. Development and implementation of an information and
education program, including seminars and conferences, aimed
at promoting alternatives to the illegal disposal of used
oil.
5. A reporting, monitoring, and enforcement program to ensure
that these provisions are appropriately carried out.
The State would pay a collection refund of not less than five
cents per quart to every industrial generator (defined as a
business entity which buys and uses industrial or lubricating oil
only for equipment owned or used by the business entity) , and
certified used oil collection center for oil collected after
April 1, 1992 and transferred to a certified used oil recycling
facility. This amount may be increased if the Integrated Waste
Management Board determines that an increase is necessary to
promote recycling of used oil.
The bill also provides for the certification of used oil
collection centers. The bill also provides for reporting by each
oil manufacturer, industrial generator, and used oil collection
centers monthly beginning January 1, 1992 on the amount of used
oil collected and transported to a certified facility and for
other related reporting requirements.
The bill also provides for criminal and civil penalties for
violation of the provisions of the bill.
The Board of Supervisors has been concerned for some time about
the need to provide better facilities for the collection and
recycling of used oil. The introduction of AB 3749 appears to be
consistent with the Board of Supervisors' objectives in this
regard and it is therefore recommended that ' the '; Board of
Supervisors indicate its continued support for AB, 3749, as
amended April 18, 1990 .
