ITEM EXPLANATION: On February 7, 1989, the City Council approved a voluntary recycling pilot project involving 500 single family residences in downtown (south of Elm Ave/ east of Monroe St/ north of Chestnut Ave/ and west of El Camino Real), and 500 single family residences in La Costa (south of La Costa Ave/ north of Levante St). Additionally, City Council directed staff to prepare, for Council consideration, a contract to perform the recycling pilot project with Coast Waste Management, Incorporated. The attached contract provides for the curbside collection of recyclables (aluminum, glass, paper, and plastic) beginning the first week of May, 1989. The project will be run at no cost to the City, with the exception of the individual household containers. The City shall purchase these containers. The City will apply for California Department of Conservation and County of San Diego grant funds to offset the cost of these containers. The contract provides for a comprehensive collection of empirical data, cumulating in an extensive 6-month report due to the City from Coast Waste Management no later than November 15, 1989. Assuming that the results of the pilot project indicate that a successful and cost-effective City-wide curbside recycling program is possible, it is the staff's intent to discuss and negotiate with Coast Waste Management for a City- wide curbside program, the contract to be presented to the Council for consideration in early 1990. Should the development of a City-wide program be delayed for any reason, the contract provides for an extension of the pilot project for up to six additional months. This will ensure that the continuity and momentum of the pilot project is maintained. The contract presents the pilot project as part of an overall recycling effort, and encourages the expansion of other recycling efforts such as drop-off centers, industrial and commercial recycling, and charitable group donations. PAGE 2 OF AB#4932 FISCAL IMPACT: The entire cost of the pilot project, with the exception of individual household containers, shall be borne by Coast Waste Management. The City will purchase 1100 sets of two (2) household containers, at a cost of between $9.20 and $12.50 per set, for a total cost of between $10,120 and $13,750. Staff is preparing proposals to apply for grants from the California Dept. of Conservation and the County of San Diego to offset this expense. The next grant cycle for both these organizations begin in March 1989, with grant funds distributed before the end of FY 1988-89. Since the purchase of the containers needs to be completed before the middle of April, an appropriation of $13,750 from the unappropriated fund balance is needed. Should grant funds be received as expected, the unappropriated fund will be reimbursed.

We have prepared six (6) plans, A through F, which have different curb side elements for each and the rest of the elements being common to all plans. The plans proposed are of various types of segregated collection to maintain a higher market value. To achieve the waste reduction goals mandated by the City of Carlebad and the County of San Diego, the plans must be implemented over a period of time and not all at once to develop and maintain consistancy of programs and maintain the support of the entire community. The following page is a diagram of the programs in brief. We have attempted to answer all of the questions raised in the City's review of the preliminary Proposal presented in December. To expedite the program's effective date, we will be available to answer any other questions. The pIans developed are felt to be the best alternatives for the City. With Staff and Coast Waste working collectively on the implementation, any vaeances which arise will be cognizant to both parties involved and can have immediate attention if necessary. For this we propose the City to appoint one of the City Staff to be program coordinator with Coast Waste.

The 1000 home pilot would provide the City with information on the best suited containers, participation rates and operating data to determine the fiscal impact for the residents of Carlsbad. The pilot program would be operated for nine months with the program data on the first six months submitted for City review. We would continue the collection on those homes while the City makes its review. The recyclables will be segregated by the homeowner and stored for weekly collection on trash day in three stackable containers. Residents would recycle aluminum cans, glass bottles and newsprint. The stackable containers are not the least costly of the containers but of the programs reviewed they have the widest acceptance and higher participation rates. We propose the containers to be purchased by the City so grants would then be available for funding the purchase of the containers. Coast Waste would fund the nine month pilot collection program expenses other than the cost of the containers. After review and recommendation the City will establish funding to pay for the ongoing program costs. Parameters Used to Develop Projection Containers: The choice was narrowed down to the use of three stackable containers for each household. Stackable containers have been widely used throughout curb sides because of ease in handling, sturdiness, and accessibility while stacked and in use. We have reviewed two types of stackable containers from two different manufacturers. Both manufacturers provide declining balance replacement warranties based on a five-year life. Both manufacture containers in Southern California. We have received two bids for purchasing the containers. The first bid is $4.60 per container covering all associated costs. The rcond bid is for $5.35 per container excluding shipping, handli'g, tax and some print work. Both suppliers can provide us with containers within 45 days of request for the 3000 needed for the pilot. EXHIBIT C PAGE 3 .- Containers: (continued) We have opted to use three stackable containers as opposed to fewer contain-ers to maintain higher market grades for the material which can only be done at the participant's level. The three containers could be used to store more than the original three commodities as other commodities become viable. For this we recommend that the containers not be labeled for the types of material to accomodate for expanding the materials recycled. Recyclables collected: The most common recyclable8 diverted from the waste stream are aluminum cans, bottle glass, newsprint, and cardboard. Plastic bottles could be flattened and mixed in with the aluminum cans. However, the amounts of plastic collected from other programs have been minimal with limited data available. Plastic bottles can be diverted. However, they have less marketability. We would be willing to make plastic a part of the pilot program if SO requested by the City. Weekly Collection: Weekly collection has been choosen to make it as easy as possible for the households to participate in the program. Other program8 studied indicate that better participation occurs with a weekly collection where the homeowner places his materials out when the containers are full. Areas for the Pilot study: Area 1 will be approximately 500 homes in Carlebad proper within the boundaries of: Elm Avenue, Celinda, Chestnut and Highland. This area was choosen for the mix of types of homes, street and traffic patterns. Collection day for this area will be Tuesday. Route patterns and addresses of the homes paritcipating in the pilot will be provided to the City. Area 2 will also be approximately 500 hundred homes in the La Costa area of Carlsbad. This area will be within the streets of La Coeta Avenue, Levante, and El Camino Real. This area has single family residences and multi-tenant housing with curb refuse service. Collection Vehicles: We have looked at various types of collection equipment. One option would be to utilize a vehicle similar to a front loader vehicle for approximately $80,000. The other option would be to purchase a bin trailer/tractor combination for approximately $58,000. We have opted at the present to go with either using bin trailers or low entry trucks with hydraulic dumping boxes for the commodities. We are looking into having one of our low entry trucks refitted with hydraulic boxes for recycling#which could be used for the program or be utilized as a spare. New low entry cab trucks $64,000 each Tractor $40,000 each Trailer with automated bin dumping $18,000 each Trailere without automated bins $ 8,000 each EXHIBIT C PAGE 4 Advertising: Mailings to pilot homes Notices on billing statements Trash can tags or door hangers Publicize program through free community Cable TV Press releases regarding the program prior to start Signs on our recycling trucks and residential refuse trucks Community awareness programs (speaker presentation) Records : P/L information will be submitted quarterly with the information displayed showing the monthly information. The six-month information will be used to access the plan for further implementation. Participation will be verified by using truck counters on vehicles to show total stops per month. Twice per month a physical count of 50 units in each area will be conducted. Materials collected will be weighed on day of collection with a second verification via our shipping receipts. These receipts are required to be segregated from buy back center volumes per California State requirements for receipt of redemption money. Capitalization For the Pilot program the equipment will be donated from the existing operation of Coast Waste Management. Acquiring a low entry recycling truck on lease at this point is not available. We are looking into converting one of our own low entry trucks for recycling. If any equipment is purchased or is eventually used in the City-wide program, the equipment would come in at the capitalization less the value for the time used or be utilized as a spare. Coast Waste would cover the costs of the equipment either through use or as contributed equipment for the City's program.

Start up prom-otional costs, increased accounting expenses, and verification data will incur more expenses initially. The expenses for these items will be detailed in the data submitted to the City for review. The City of Carlsbad's selected program coordinator will have more time allocated to this phase of the program for which it needs to be accounted. Coast Waste has assumed this will be a shared cost and in-kind service. Plastic Bottles As requested by the City, we have reviewed the collection of PET plastic bottles and other milky clear plastic bottles. The ' information on collection of these bottles is limited. We propose that they be collected at one of the two pilot areas to get a comparison of the additional costs and revenues. The plastic could be mixed with the aluminum cans in the same stackable container. We have made the following estimates for the plastic bottles. Projection Income PET Bottles $32 Other Plastic bottles la5 TOTAL INCOME 167 EXPENSES Collection 187 Materials 6 Containers no charge -- Hauling other 12 PET not enough to sell -- Processing 35 NET SHORT FALL (67) This is based on 1 PET bottle per month per resident and .5 lbs of clear plastic bottles. This is only our beet estimation of costs for the material and collection amounts. Some of the pertinent costs in collecting plastics are the storage costs and costs of economically baling the material with the type of baler presently in use by our company. The amount projected for a year would amount to 1 1/2 bales of PET and 28 bales of other plastics. This would require us to use a roll off container to hold them until we had sufficient amount to ship in one bale. The cost of containers has not been included in the price of operation. A year's collection would amount to approximately 15 tons of plastic. The milky clear plastic juice, milk, and water jug8 would amount to more material than the PET bottles. The price for the clear plastic bottles is .10 cents per pound at present. In speaking to an induetry expert, the PET bottles collected now &om the AB 2020 bottle bill are stock piling due to no market demand for the product. Many of the processors are holding the material. These materials would amount to a small portion of the waste stream. The pilot would identify the merits of these as recyclables. EXHIBIT C PAGE 6 PLAN B, ELEMENT 1 SEGREGATED CITY WIDE CURB SIDE COLLECTION This option as requested by the City is to show the time for implementation of a City-wide curb side collection. This program will take longer to setup due to the lead time for equipment. We feel that this program has merit. However, without empirical data which could be derived from a pilot phase, assumptions such as resident participation and operating costs would have to be subsidized from the onset. An additional concern of ours is the timing and available funding for containers. The method of recycling with three stackable containers is the most prevalent and is being established in more cities now initiating programs. Even though the three container program is widely used, most cities have started their programs via pilots. For these reasons we are encouraging the use of a pilot. Many of the parameters have already been highlighted in the previous section (Plan A, 1000 home pilot). As in that pilot program, this plan has the residents utilizing three segregated containers for separation of the materials prior to collection. The program as indicated in the diagram would require more time for initial start up but the project would be completed approximately in the same time as the proposal with the 1000 home pilot (Plan A). Should the City decide to have the entire City brought "on-line" with a curb side program, it can be accomplished in a shorter time frame. However, the City would need to indicate to Coast Waste prior to implementation when and what amounts of funding would be available for containers. We would opt to have the information on the program's operating costs, volumes, and participation rates submitted to the City quarterly with monthly data provided for the first year of the program. We propose, after review of the program's first complete year of collection, that the information be reduced to semi-annual submission to the City. Books and records would be available for the City to review.

Figures for this have been prepared and can be provided upon request. EXHIBIT C PAGE 9 PUN C, ELEMENT 1 PARTIALLY COMgINGLED CURB SIDE SORTED AT COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT This program will take longer to implement since it will take time for the modification to our existing facility. This program is more costly than the other methods due to the higher capitalization expenses for the building and equipment. We feel that the homeowner with this type of program will be placing his containers out at the curb more often as opposed to using the three segregated containers. He will more than likely have less storage space for the items which on an overall basis will probably not reduce the collection costs. This system of collection poses more costs initially. With the three segregated containers $here would be ample room for the placement of other materials to be collected whereas with only two there would be less space for other recyclables causing some materials to be averted from the recycling system. All other aspects of the program would be similar to the other two previously mentioned programs. EXHIBIT C PAGE 10 .

CHARITABLE GROUPS, SATURDAY COLLECTION This program would be used in conjunction with the neighborhood collection centers where, at these sites, Coast Waste would have drop boxes set up for the collection of materials. We would help set up and establish routes for collection drives but would only provide boxes for the materials at no charge. Participation in a voluntary program like this has varied. In the City of Seattle, for example, it was estimated that 25% of the material was being donated to the charitable drives and donation bin sites that were run in that City prior to the implementation of curb side programs. This program understandably is hard to assess. The amounts that could additionally be diverted beyond what is presently being done is an unknown. However, use of this program could provide additional diversion of material from the waste stream. This program would be funded by Coast Waste through its plan for the Neighborhood Collection Centers proposed budge . 0 EXHIBIT C PAGE 12 PLAN E, ELEMENT 1 COMMINGLED CUBSIDE RECYCLABLES SORTED BY DRIVER AT CURB, CITY WIDE These homeowners will sort their material into two containers, one for newsprint and one for aluminum cans and glass bottles. The materials will be sorted by the driver at the curb prior to returning to the center for batching for shipment to market. Thie method of commingled recyclables can be accomplished easier than the eorting of material at our facility since it will not require the building space which is being utilized by our transfer etation.

We operate a transfer station at the present to reduce the trash hauling costs. This part of our operation requires approximately forty percent of our space used as a daily holding area during transfer. The space of this portion of our building is approximately the size required for the recycling. If this . alternative was setup we would be required to build or locate space to sort the recyclables.

EXHIBIT C PAGE 17 ELEMENT 2, PROCESSING AND SITE REDUCTION CENTER As stated in_the Preliminary Plan, the continued use of the Source Separation Center has benefited the City of Carlsbad with the reduction of materials already going into the County landfill. The cardboard material collected and recycled at Coast Waste Management's facility was generated, not through the buy-back center, but from the refuse loads dumped on the separation floor of the Transfer Station. The County of San Diego in its recent waste stream study indicated that there was approximately 7.5% of the waste stream composed of marketable cardboard. The material which comes into the center would not have to be picked up additionally by the collection trucks and diverted through the system which has not cost the City any funds at all. We could with a high density system possibly double the volume with improved equipment. The cardboard recycled from Coast Waste Management in Carlebad is as follows: CARDBOARD RECYCLED 1987 908,380 LBS 454.2 TONS 1988* 829,120 LBS 414.5 TONS *This represents only 11 months of cardboard. This cardboard volume is substantial and should be calculated as part of the material diverted to meet our waste diversion goals. This amounts to half of the material which is proposed in the curb side collection. This recycling was conducted without City subsidies for the venture with the City of Carlsbad receiving benefit of this with reduced landfill expenses. The preliminary plan proposed to the City was for the City to assist Coast Waste in obtaining grant funds for a higher capacity baler which will increase the volume of materials baled. Additionally, we proposed for the City to support us in leasing additional land for the use of expanding our recycling efforts. This was proposed without requiring any funds from the City's funding sources. This recycling income is accounted for in the financial statements audited by the City when reviewing our books and records for Refuse Index Increases. @ ELEMENT 3, I4EIGEBOREOOD DROP OFF CENTERS This element would develop a network of community collection centers. Residents would then have an alternative for donating recyclables. This would be carried out in Plans A and D. In Plan A (the 1000 home pilot) it would be used to gain more emperical data and, in Plan D for the implementation of collection and processing the materials collected by the groups. EXHIBIT C PAGE 18 This system of recycling operating costs and others would be funded by Coast Waste. No funding from the City would be required other than as suggested previously in grant funding for containers to aid the program‘s collections. ELEMENT 4, BUY BACX CENTER Having a California Certified Buy Back Center was one of the original facets of a recycling program requested by Staff. This has been accomplished as requested. The Center adds to the overall City plan by providing the only commercial recycling center. The Center establishes a place for the people to recycle who do not wish to participate in a curb side whether it be for personal gain or for a charitable group. The majority of the individuals who divert recyclable materials at the Carlsbad location are Carlsbad residents. This volume could be added with the materials collected from the Charitable organizations’ bins and drives and added to the amount collected by the curb side program. As Stated by Ralph Anderson a recycling program needs to have more than one facet of recycling to make the volume reduction mandated. This is only another method which helps in completing the recycling circle. ELEMENT 5, COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, MULTI TENANT COLLECTION Coast Waste already provides service for the commercial, industrial, and multi-tenant collection on a voluntary basis. We will continue to provide bins for these with no charge to the participants. commercial recycling plan for the these groups. However, to implement a plan of this type, various ordinances will have to be established to cover the cost of placement and servicing the bins at the specified locations. We will need to have work in close accord with the City’s recycling coordinator to set up a fee system for presentation to Council. Another alternative to cover the cost is for the County to install resource diversion credite which would provide the additional economic incentives necessary to get the participation. Coast Waste Management has worked on developing a We have, at the present, a collection system for bar and restaurant glass. This is being conducted with four establishements of the 27 in the City which have alcoholic beverages served. Only one of the restaurants on service meet the required volumes set by the Glass Packaging Institutes Program. To start up additional businesses we would have to set out special down-sized containers. This would req equipment for handling with a recycling rate estab the operating costs. EXHIBIT C PAGE 19 ELEMEI?T 6, VEGATATIVE WASTE COLLECTION This program _cannot be divised until a site has been established for composting in the County. Materials could be collected with the recycling trucks possibly running on the same collection route. However, this would require more trips to the load separation center. Possibly the recycling trucks could be coupled with trailers for hauling vegatative waste. With the likelihood of the composting center being some distance from the Coast Waste facility, it would be prudent for the material to be transfered into larger vehicles for transit to the composting site. This material has been considered in making this proposal. GENERAL COMMENTS Loader : Loaders for handling materials such as glass need to have different specifications and in calling for price quotes for new and used equipment we obtained prices ranging from $35,000 to $73,500 with the low end piece of equipment needing to have tires converted for use glass. Lease payments: This amount has been reassessed and is based on the amount for the area utilized for recycling. Administration: This cost is based on the salaries posted for a recycling director as in other municipalities or for qualified help in the trash industry. Collection vehicles Operating: The costs accessed are for fuels oils lubricants and filters. Collection Vehicles Maintenance: This area has been reduced since the equipment will be new. Funds allocated to this category are included in case repairs are necessary. Processing Equipment Operating and Maintenance: The costs are for maintaining the equipment and servicing the used forklift, loader and container repairs (painting) which would be purchased. Marketing: Marketing is the shipping expense for delivery of ass and hauling rate to the markets to whom we sell our recyclables. aluminum to market, less the labor expense at the #t andard Licenses : This amount was under stated using our vehicle licensing cost for our older vehicles. These new vehicles will have a license fee each of approximately $1,600 annually.

PATCHETT, CITY MANAGER -2- March 7, 1989 DISCUSSION Solana Recyclers operates with a minimum of capital equipment. Encinitas purchased two buckets per household, and paid for the initial promotion costs, for a total of $70,500. All other expenses are covered by a $.55 monthly recycling fee paid by the individual households. Solana Beach pays a $.55 per customer monthly subsidy to Solana Recyclers out of their general fund. Residents are not charged a monthly fee. The City has also purchased $4,000 worth of household containers, and provided Solana Recyclers with a $6,500 grant to purchase a truck. Del Mar paid $8,200 for household containers, and $6,650 for start- up costs. All other expenses are covered by the $.55 monthly residential recycling fee charged to the citizens. The only continuing costs the above cities undergo is the replacement of household containers.

JOHN J. MAMAUX Counci 1 Member mhs ... , -. EXHIBIT 4 o Agenda Bill March 8, 1989 No. pf3p TO: FRANK MANNEN, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FROM: Utilities & Maintenance Director PILOT RECYCLING PROJECT PROPOSAL FROM SOLANA RECYCLERS During the discussion of Coast Waste's recycling proposal at the February 7, 1989 City Council Meeting, Dennis Price, a citizen of Carlsbad, addressed the Council. He gave a brief synopsis of Solana Recyclers' curbside recycling efforts in some of the adjacient communities and suggested that Carlsbad should consider Solana Recyclers as an option in their recycling program. Subsequent comments made by Council Member Kulchin indicated that there maybe some interest by the Council with regard to this suggestion. As a result, on February 23, 1989, Solana Recyclers submitted to the City a proposal to conduct a pilot project within the City of Carlsbad. This proposal is similar to Coast Waste Management s pilot project proposal already approved by the City Council on February 7, 1989. The history of Solana Recyclers is well documented. Solana Recyclers is a non-profit organization which has been operating recycling programs in the area since 1983. They currently operate bi-weekly curbside recycling programs in Encinitas, Del Mar and Solana Beach. Having gained a reputation for implementing very successful recycling programs with minimal capital equipment and I1shoe string'' operating budgets, Solana Recyclers was recently named the "Best Curbside Recycling Program in California for 1988" by the California Resource Recovery Association. They currently report a participation rate of 45% in their Encinitas curbside program, which is considerably above industry averages. A summary of the proposal from Solana Recyclers is provided. The actual proposal and a copy of their City of Encinitas Curbside Recycling Program First Annual Report dated November, 1988, are available if you desire to see them. Having a non-profit organization, such as Solana Recyclers, involved in a second pilot project maybe advatageous to the City. The competitive environment and additional information that would result by having two simultaneous pilot projects could eventually lead to a better City-wide program. The advantages, however, are overshadowed by the potential dangers of undertaking the additional pilot project. Competitive pilot projects could negatively impact our relations with Coast Waste Management and lead to difficulty in obtaining united efforts in refuse collection and recycling FRANK MANNEN, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER -2- March 8, 1989 programs. Additionally, the City risks misleading one or both of the companies, and confusing the citizens involved in the program. Therefore, I recommend that Solana Recyclers be advised that their efforts are appreciated, but their proposal will not be presented to the City Council at this time.

RWA : mew Attachment .' c , r ATTACHMENT SUMMARY OF SOLANA RECYCLERS' PROPOSAL On February 23, 1989, Solana Recyclers submitted to the City a proposal to conduct a pilot recycling project within the City of Carlsbad. This proposal was extremely comprehensive, addressing every major facet of a successful curbside pilot program, to include: Promotion, Implementation, Reporting and Financing. Solana Recyclers has outlined a 1,000 home pilot curbside recycling program similar to the one proposed by Coast Waste Management. The program will consist of two 500-home areas, one in the Tamarack Ave. (East of El Camino Real) area, the other in the La Costa Ave./El Fuerte St. section of the City. The cost of operating the program would be borne entirely by Solana Recyclers, with the City providing the individual household containers and the initial public education materials. The total cost to the City is projected to be between $10,000 and $14,000. Household containers accounts for the bulk of this cost, with public education material accounting for $975.00. The program itself would entail the distribution of two stackable containers and information literature to each household in the pilot project areas. Beginning on May 1, 1989, Solana recyclers would conduct a weekly collection of newspaper, aluminum, glass and plastic. The collection, which would take place on the customer's normal refuse collection days, would be performed by two collection workers using a medium duty diesel truck already owned by Solana Recyclers. Currently having excess capacity in its other recycling programs, Solana Recyclers does not anticipate purchasing any additional capital for this pilot project. Taking into consideration that the primary purpose of a pilot project is to collect empirical data, the proposal outlines a comprehensive data collection and reporting system. The information collected would be instrumental in preparing for implementation of an eventual City-wide program. Solana Recyclers is prepared to provide recycling services to smaller commercial businesses in Carlsbad that, for what ever reason, are not currently being serviced by Coast Waste Management. In conclusion, the proposal submitted by Solana Recyclers is extremely thorough and the program outlined is certainly feasible and viable. Although the proposed program would be valuable by itself, when added to the Coast Waste program already approved, it maybe superfluous.
