BACKGROUND The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has been tasked with administering a one-time grant program meant to provide aid in the implementation of regulations adopted by CalRecycle pursuant to Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016. Among efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse solid waste generated in the state, this grant program will provide funding on a per capita basis to local jurisdictions to assist with the implementation of regulation requirements associated with SB 1383. Funds are calculated by CalRecycle with each city eligible for a minimum of $20,000 or an amount allocated on a per capita basis, whichever is greater. The FY 2021/22 CalRecycle funding cycle commences in April 2022 and cities will have until March 1, 2024 to spend the funds. Eligible SB1383 activities include: • Collection • Education and Outreach • Edible Food Recovery • Equipment/Bins/Containers • Capacity Planning • Procurement Requirements • Record Keeping • Enforcement and Inspection • Program Evaluation/Gap Analysis. DISCUSSION Staff has identified that many residential customers do not have an organics waste cart, primarily due to space constraints as currently only a 96-gallon cart is available for an organics waste cart. City staff will coordinate with Pleasanton Garbage Service to fund the purchase of 2,000, 35-Gallon new green organic waste residential curbside containers with the CalRecycle grant funds to be delivered to accounts with space constraints. The purchase and distribution of these containers will assist in bringing those residential accounts into compliance with SB1383 requirements.
