(within the existing rate structure) a 96-gallon cart for commingled dry recyclables <br /> including paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum and plastic similar to the material collected <br /> as part of the City's residential recycling program. If a commercial account determines <br /> that additional capacity (more than 96-gallons) is required to meet its recycling needs, <br /> PGS provides customer consultation to recommend appropriate cart/container <br /> capacity/configuration to meet service needs. As part of this process, PGS attempts to <br /> facilitate recyclable carUcontainer options without impacting existing collection rates. <br /> However, if additional capacity is needed, then the prevailing rates for additional <br /> containers apply. <br /> Currently, Stopwaste.org is enforcing the Commercial Recycling Ordinance and has <br /> been in communication with the City regarding the few customers that are not in <br /> compliance. In general, compliance is the responsibility of the customer, not PGS or the <br /> City, but similar to other cities implementing the Ordinance, there are significant <br /> logistical problems related to inadequately sized trash enclosures which require <br /> collection bins to be placed outside of ash enclosures in parking lots and other <br /> locations, multiple businesses sharing one enclosure or container, suitable locations for <br /> additional containers, etc., that continue to be a challenge for the program. However, <br /> PGS is continuing to work with the City and customers in an attempt to solve these <br /> issues. <br /> Regarding Phase II, (commercial organics collection), staff is currently reviewing a <br /> proposal for PGS to implement this service and is in discussion with Stopwaste.org in <br /> an attempt to develop a program that is both cost effective and meets customer needs. <br /> Discussion with PGS is ongoing and staff is hoping to have an agreement within the <br /> next 60days. <br /> Submitted by: Reviewed by: 11 Approved by: <br /> � G�l,�^U <br /> Steven Bocian Emily Wa er Nelson Fialho <br /> Assistant City Manager Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
