FINANCIAL STATEMENT The WMA and Alameda County Department of Environmental Health (ACDEH) have agreed to work on behalf of the City to meet several requirements of SB 1383 as outlined in the ORRO within existing resources. The costs to implement the law will be further refined through negotiations with the City's franchise hauler Pleasanton Garbage Service that is currently ongoing. A complete cost analysis and other related funding recommendations will be brought forward to the City Council in late fall 2021. BACKGROUND SB 1383 establishes targets to achieve a 50 percent reduction in the level of the statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020 and a 75 percent reduction by 2025. The law grants CalRecycle the regulatory authority required to achieve the organic waste disposal reduction targets and establishes an additional target that not less than 20 percent of currently disposed edible food is recovered for human consumption by 2025. SB 1383 requires jurisdictions to address and adequately resource seven areas as required by the regulations. In July 2021, the Council adopted the SB 1383 Action Plan which outlines actions and cost estimates of implementing the programs and activities required and provides recommendations for how to implement the law. SB 1383 regulations regarding what is to be included in the ordinance are as follows: • By January 1, 2022, a jurisdiction shall adopt enforceable ordinances (or similarly enforceable mechanisms), requiring compliance by generators, haulers, and other entities regulated under the SB 1383 regulations. • Adopt an ordinance that requires organic waste generators to subscribe to organics collection programs, annually provide information about organics requirements, provide new information to tenants within 14 days of occupation of the premises, and arrange for access to their properties for inspections. • Adopt an ordinance that requires commercial organic waste generators to provide containers for the collection of organic waste and non-organic recyclables in all areas where disposal containers are provided for customers, except for restrooms. These containers must comply with SB 1383 regulations. • Adopt an ordinance that prohibits organic waste generator employees from placing organic waste in a container not designated to receive organic waste. Jurisdiction shall inspect external collection containers for contamination. Page 2 of 8
