WHEREAS, the State of California enacted Assembly Bill
(AB) 1594, mandating that as of January 1, 2020, the use of green material as
alternative daily cover (ADC) at landfills will no longer constitute diversion
through recycling and will instead be considered disposal for purposes of
measuring a jurisdiction's 50 percent per capital disposal rate; and,
WHEREAS, AB 1594 was designed to require the recycling of green waste and
help improve air quality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions that are
produced in landfills when organic material such as green waste decomposes;
and,
WHEREAS, Republic Services delivers green waste collected from the City's
customers to the Orange County Landfill System for use as ADC at no charge to
customers; and,
WHEREAS, the City has determined that with the elimination of diversion credit
for ADC, as required by AB 1594, and the negative impact this will have on the
City's state -calculated diversion rate, an alternative destination for the City's
green waste is necessary; and,
WHEREAS, the City's solid waste consultant, HF&H Consultants, provided a rate
review and completed negotiations with Republic Services on behalf of the City;
and,
WHEREAS, Republic Services processed the City's green waste per the AB
1594 mandate during the period of January 1, 2020 to September 28, 2020 at the
City's direction; and,
WHEREAS, CalRecycle has demanded the City become compliant with the AB
1826 mandate in the near term; and,
