SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
(1) Direct community Development Department to undertake Public
Information Outreach efforts on the County Hotline for The Keller
Canyon Landfill, on the County's new toll-free Recycling Hotline
which will provide information on recycling and solid waste
disposal locations, and on the County Solid Waste System. Rates
information telephone number;
(2) Direct the Community Development Department to work with the
Environmental Affairs Committee in developing cooperative efforts
with the East County cities in establishing quarterly "clean-up"
service by franchised solid waste haulers and in developing
community "Pride" projects similar to. those in West Pittsburg and
on Bethel Island;. and
(3) Direct the Community Development Department, in conjunction
with the July 9th workshop, to undertake a Public Information
... Outreach on the Keller Canyon Landfill and ACME Transfer Station
rates and the Solid Waste Management Facilities planned for
residents throughout the County.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS: With the closure of the
Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill in Antioch andtheopening of the
Keller Canyon Landfill, county residents have many questions about
disposing garbage and recycling. The county needs to inform
residents of recycling options in their community and the present
solid waste management system planned for the entire county.
In east county, the garbage haulers now provide free "clean-
up" services once a year. These services are very well received in
the communities. With the closure of the Contra Costa Landfill in
Antioch and the restriction of public access to Keller Canyon
Landfill to avoid traffic inpac'ts on Pittsburg residents, it will
. be necessary for. our garbage haulers to provide free "clean-up"
services more often to prevent roadside and other illegal dumping.
In addition, traffic trips can be significantly reduced to the ACME
transfer station.
