SLIDE 28
  • Goal: Reduce the amount of compostables in

residential curbside trash bins to meet the Agency goal of less than 10% good stuff in the garbage by year 2020

  • Objective: Increase diversion of compostable

materials from residential trash bins to curbside green bins

  • Strategy: Promote food scrap recycling through

The New California Gold campaign to motivate improved residential recycling behavior

Benchmark Service

slide-41
SLIDE 41

Benchmark Service Overview

 Three components

 Measurement/data collection  Evaluation  Report findings to account holders

 Track progress towards our long-term goals  Understand trends in recycling performance  Communicate with account holders

Benchmark Data

 2700 residential samples

 2200 single-family, 500 multi-family

 Statistical confidence of 95%

 1100 commercial samples

 Eight business categories

 Average residential garbage weight increased by 4.7

pounds (25% increase)

 Most of the increase in garbage was from organics

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Two Reports to Date

slide-45
SLIDE 45

Additional Insights

 The weight (and percent) of cardboard, bottles, papers,

cans decreased in the garbage

 20 percent of single-family residences meet Year 2020

diversion goal

 Next fiscal year conduct research to identify specific

barriers contributing to change

  • rganics collection containers (businesses only)

COMPLIANCE OVERVIEW: PHASE 1 & PHASE 2

Property owners/managers must:

slide-54
SLIDE 54

Data Management

 The Need: Complex and Accurate Data Management  Identify regulated parties and service levels  Monitor compliance under enforcement protocol (progressive

process based on inspections and hauler records)

 Coordinate with TA

 The Solution: Customized system using CRM

 Manage large data sets  Structure and automate processes to handle volume  Modify system in-house as procedures and policies change

(e.g., Phase 2 and time schedule waivers)

slide-55
SLIDE 55
  • Legal Process
  • Routine Inspection Process
  • Compliance focus, not penalties
  • Partnership between Member
