DRAFT June 15, 2021 | Page 18 THE CITY OF PLEASANTON SB 1383 ACTION PLAN 2021 ─ 2025 3.1 Collection and Processing • Provide education annually to all generators (§18985.1). • Provide collection containers to generators that comply with color requirements when replacing containers or by January 1, 2036, whichever comes first (§18984.7). • Place SB 1383-compliant labels on all new containers after January 1, 2022 (§18984.8). • Implement a hauler oversight program and report required hauler information (§18994.2.f). • Ensure organic waste is sent to a facility or operation deemed to constitute a reduction in landfill disposal (§18983.1). 3.1.3 State SB 1383 Requirements for Generators • Subscribe to organics collection services provided by jurisdiction (§18984.9) or self-haul organics to facility that processes source-separated organic waste (§18984.9). • For commercial businesses, provide organics and recyclables containers for customers and employees; require employees to source separate organic materials; periodically inspect organics containers for contamination; and, educate employees on source separation if contamination observed (§18984.9). • For self-hauling commercial businesses, record and report self-hauling activities (§18988.3). • For Commercial Edible Food Generator requirements, see Section 3.5. 3.1.4 Ordinance and Policy Needs The City’s current Municipal Code will need to be amended to achieve compliance with SB 1383. SB 1383 requires mandatory solid waste, organic waste (including food waste), and recyclables collection services for all single- family, multi-family, and commercial generators. StopWaste has drafted a County-wide model SB 1383 enforcement ordinance for potential adoption by member agencies, which will supersede the current MRO. It is recommended that that City use the County-wide ordinance as a base, customizing it as needed to fit the City’s programs and align with the amended Agreement. More details can be found in Section 3.4, Ordinance and Policies. 3.1.5 Contract Implications The City will need to amend the Franchise Agreement, which was executed in 2018. The 2018 Agreement includes provisions for compliance with SB 1383, based on then-proposed regulations. However, the regulations have changed, and the Agreement will need to be amended to ensure the City and PGS are both able to effectively implement and maintain SB 1383 programs. Formal amendment negotiations need to begin as soon as possible to avoid a delay in implementation beginning no later than January 2022. The amendment will need to include new and relevant provisions needed to support the City’s SB 1383 compliance needs. Examples of topic areas to be amended include, but are not limited to: mandatory collection service for all generators; container color and label specifications; facility standards; record keeping and reporting; and, education and outreach campaigns. Additionally, the amendment will need to be reviewed for alignment with the Municipal Code update. 3.1.6 Education and Outreach Needs SB 1383 requires the distribution of educational materials to all generators covering: SB 1383 regulations; new/modified collection programs; the benefits of organic waste recycling; and, other topics.
