Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 <br />33 <br /> <br />debris stream at TDMSs. <br /> Decide whether to contract with an established HHW collection firm to augment or replace <br />HHW drop-off sites to ensure HHW is properly disposed of. Measures should be taken to <br />identify, segregate, and dispose of intermingled HHW at TDMSs. <br /> Interface with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and CalEPA. <br />Describe the HHW collection program and permitted facilities to be used for disposal or <br />recycling. <br /> <br />Electronic Waste <br />Electronic waste, or e-waste, refers to electronics that contain HAZMAT such as cathode ray tubes. <br />Examples include computer monitors and televisions. Electronic waste is considered HHW and <br />must be managed following the CalEPA guidelines for disposal listed in Section 3.3.6. <br /> <br />White Goods Debris Removal <br />White goods include refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, heat pumps, ovens, ranges, washing <br />machines, clothes dryers, etc. <br /> <br />White goods debris that contains ozone-depleting refrigerants, mercury, or compressor oils need <br />to have such materials removed by a certified technician before recycling. All state and federal <br />laws should be followed regarding the final disposal of removed refrigerants, mercury, or <br />compressor oils. Collection of white goods can be conducted internally or using contracted services <br />on a unit rate basis. The Cities will conduct the following activities to support white goods removal: <br /> <br /> Communicate the procedures for white goods removal to residents in affected areas. <br />Residents must separate white goods from other debris to ensure white goods are not <br />mixed with other debris streams during collection. <br /> Interface with the Alameda County Environmental Health Department and CalEPA. <br />Describe the white goods collection program and permitted facilities to be used for disposal <br />of recovered refrigerants, mercury, or compressor oils. <br /> <br />Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris <br />C&D debris is damaged components of buildings and structures such as lumber and wood, gypsum <br />wallboard, glass, metal, roofing material, tile, carpeting and floor coverings, window coverings, pipe, <br />concrete, fully cured asphalt, equipment, furnishings, and fixtures. Certain types of C&D debris are <br />reusable or recyclable. To conserve landfill space, C&D debris should be separated by material type <br />for reuse or recycling. <br /> <br />Some C&D debris may be hazardous, such as asbestos roofing and floor tile, and lead pipes. <br />Section 3.3.6 of this plan provides information from CalEPA on how to manage hazardous debris, <br />including asbestos-containing materials. Documentation of the debris origin, any processing <br />(reduction or recycling), and the final disposition is required for receiving state and/or federal funding. <br /> <br />Typically, removal of construction by-products generated by repairs or rebuilding is covered by <br />insurance policies or included in the overall cost for reconstruction projects; therefore, construction <br />by-products are not considered disaster-related debris. <br />
