<br />SOLID WASTE
<br />
<br />The solid waste management system in Alameda County includes the collecting, processing, and
<br />disposing of solid waste materials. These materials include waste generated from residential,
<br />commercial, industrial, institutional, and agricultural uses in addition to construction and
<br />demolition materials, wastewater sludge, street sweepings, plant debris, litter, and hazardous
<br />wastes. In short, the solid waste which must be collected and disposed consists of every material
<br />used or consumed by people. A detailed description of solid waste material types and the quantities
<br />produced are contained in the Alameda County Integrated Waste Management Plan."
<br />
<br />The City currently has a franchise agreement with Pleasanton Garbage Service (PGS) to the
<br />year 2019, which gives PGS exclusive right, subject to limited exceptions, to collect and transport
<br />solid waste from all residential, commercial, and industrial waste generators in the City. This
<br />agreement requires PGS to maintain a contract for disposal with a landfill operator. PGS currently
<br />contracts with Browning Ferris Industries for disposal at the Vasco Road Landtill in Livermore. At
