RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2006-023 authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement
with the Regional Solid Waste Association to offer Carlsbad residents a special household
hazardous waste collection event, and to allow residents to contact Clean Harbors Environmental
Services, Inc., for door-to-door collection of household hazardous waste.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Carlsbad is mandated by AB 939 to provide for the safe disposal of household hazardous waste
(HHW) generated by residents. The City must also implement and manage programs aimed at
diverting residents' waste from disposal in area landfills. HHW includes: batteries, paint, household
cleaners, lawn chemicals and herbicides, auto fluids and cleaners, and rodent and pest poisons.
These items are handled and disposed of in different ways than household garbage and should not
be mixed with trash.
The City has an existing agreement with the Regional Solid Waste Association (RSWA) allowing
Carlsbad residents to take their HHW to two RSWA-contracted permanent collection facilities.
Currently, residents do not have a disposal method for their HHW within Carlsbad's borders; they
must take their HHW to Vista, Poway, or Oceanside (to a facility operated by Waste Management).
In the FY 05-06 City budget, Council directed staff and appropriated funds to implement three new
programs in solid waste: door-to-door HHW collection, one special collection event for the purpose
of collecting HHW and electronic waste, and residential composting. This appropriation was made in
response to the 69.5% level of satisfaction for the City's HHW disposal service reported in the
annual Public Opinion Survey. Adding a special HHW collection event and door-to-door HHW
collection to the City's Solid Waste Program is a good faith effort to address proper HHW disposal
and is expected to improve Carlsbad's diversion rate by offering residents more convenient waste
disposal options. A resident interested in the door-to-door service would just have to collect the
hazardous materials in their home for disposal and call the City's contractor who would schedule a
collection appointment and come pick up the items. Residents interested in utilizing the City's
special HHW collection event will also need an appointment, but will be able to drive their HHW to a
centralized location within Carlsbad and have it collected.
Adding these programs will increase the convenience to residents in disposal of hazardous
materials and will be more cost-effective than trying to create a permanent HHW facility within the
City's borders. Staff recommends amending the City's existing contract with RSWA for HHW service
to include both an annual special HHW collection event and door-to-door collection.
The door-to-door HHW collection costs $90 for each pickup. Under the terms of the proposed
agreement, RSWA would invoice the City $80 per collection. RSWA has recommended to staff that
the City ask residents to pay a small co-payment for the use of the door-to-door service.
Staff recommends a $10 charge per utilization of the service. The contractor would collect the $10
charge directly from each resident upon utilization of the service. This charge would not be high
enough to be a disincentive for using the program, would help the City defray some of the costs of
providing service, and would likely prevent calls for very small loads such as single batteries or one
can of paint.
Page 2
The special HHW collection event will cost the City no more than $110 per vehicle load. Costs will
be determined based upon the number of residents disposing of their HHW at the collection event
and associated costs for arranging and coordinating the event.
Residents would still be able to use the permanent HHW facilities in Vista, Poway, and Oceanside
for disposal. Residents could drop off their HHW at no cost; using this new door-to-door program
would cost residents $10, but they would not have to transport their HHW materials. The special
HHW collection event will be free and within the City, but will only be held one time per year.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This activity is not subject to CEQA review as the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Section 15061 CEQA Guidelines).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the two programs is $144,800.
• Door-to-door Household Hazardous Waste Collection ($74,800).
• One Special Collection Event for Household Hazardous Waste and Electronic Waste
($70,000).
Funds for these two programs were included in the adopted 2005-06 Solid Waste operating budget.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No. 2006-023 authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement
with the Regional Solid Waste Association to offer Carlsbad residents a special household
hazardous waste collection event, and to allow residents to contact Clean Harbors
Environmental Services, Inc., for door-to-door collection of household hazardous waste.
2. Contract with RSWA to be executed by the City Manager upon approval of this agenda bill.

AMENDMENT TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
CITY OF CARLSBAD AND THE REGIONAL SOLID WASTE ASSOCIATION
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE INTER-JURISDICTIONAL USE AGREEMENT
This agreement between the City of Carlsbad ("City") and the Regional Solid Waste
Association ("RSWA") is for the purpose of reimbursing Clean Harbors Environmental
Services, Inc. ("Clean Harbors") for its costs incurred in the door-to-door collection and
disposal of household hazardous waste ("HHW") as well as conducting one special
HHW collection event annually for Carlsbad residents.
The cost of door-to-door collection is $90.00 for each collection. The City agrees to
reimburse Clean Harbors at the rate of $80.00 for each pickup of HHW from
door-to-door participants in the City. Each resident using the services will pay $10.00
directly to Clean Harbors upon collection of their HHW. The City will be invoiced by
Clean Harbors on a monthly basis in the same manner as invoices are generated when
City residents use the permanent HHW facilities operated by RSWA in the City of Poway
and City of Vista, with invoices including the name and address of each door-to-door
program participant.
The City shall be billed on a monthly basis and shall have 30 days to pay Clean Harbors
in full.
The special collection event shall consist of a payment not to exceed $110 per vehicle
charged to the City. Clean Harbors will work with City staff in selecting an appropriate
site, in obtaining the necessary permits, and scheduling the collection event. Clean
Harbors will be responsible for the disposal of HHW, and any incidentals required to
operate the event.
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") may be terminated by either the City or
RSWA upon 30 days written notice to the other party. This MOU represents the entire
agreement of the parties with regard to reimbursement of costs for door-to-door HHW
collection and disposal services performed by Clean Harbors in the City. This MOU
incorporates, by this reference, the applicable terms and conditions of the RSWA HHW
Inter-Jurisdictional Use Agreement for the Facility located in the Cities of Poway and
Vista dated July 7, 2005 between the City of Carlsbad and RSWA, as the Agreement
may be amended from time to time. This MOU may be amended only by a writing
executed by the parties hereto. The persons signing this MOU represent and warrant
that they are authorized to do so on behalf of their respective party.
