<br /> WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of California, by enactment of the California Integrated Waste 14
<br />Management Act of 1989 (“AB 939”) and subsequent modifications thereto, established a solid waste management 15
<br />process that requires cities and other local jurisdictions to implement source reduction, reuse, and recycling as 16
<br />integrated waste management practices; 17
<br /> WHEREAS, the State of California has found and declared that the amount of refuse generated in California, 18
<br />along with diminishing Disposal Site space and potential adverse environmental impacts from landfilling, and the 19
<br />need to conserve natural resources, have created an urgent need for State and local agencies to enact and 20
<br />implement an aggressive integrated waste management program. The State has, through enactment of AB 939 and 21
<br />subsequent related legislation, including, but not limited to, the Jobs and Recycling Act of 2011 (AB 341), the Event 22
<br />and Venue Recycling Act of 2004 (AB 2176), SB 1016 (Chapter 343, Statutes of 2008 [Wiggins, SB 1016), the 23
<br />Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling Act of 2014 (AB 1826), the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Bill of 2016 (SB 24
<br />1383), AB 1594, AB 1201, AB343, and the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act (SB 25
<br />54), directed the responsible State agency, and all local agencies, to promote Diversion and to maximize the use of 26
<br />feasible waste reduction, reuse, Recycling, and Composting options in order to reduce the amount of refuse that 27
<br />must be Disposed; 28

<br />established a county-wide Solid Waste Diversion rate goal of seventy-five percent (75%) by 2010; 30
<br /> WHEREAS, in 2010, the Alameda County Source Reduction and Recycling Board (“StopWaste”) adopted a 31
<br />Strategic Plan that included a new waste diversion goal. By 2020, Alameda County wanted less than ten percent 32
<br />(10%) of waste deposited in Alameda County’s landfills to be readily Recyclable or Compostable; 33
<br /> WHEREAS, pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 40059(a)(2), the City has determined that 34
<br />public health, safety, and well-being requires that an exclusive right be awarded to a qualified Contractor to provide 35
<br />for the Collection, Transportation, and Processing (where permitted under this Agreement) of Solid Waste, 36
<br />Recyclable Materials, Organic Materials, Construction and Demolition Debris, Bulky Items and other services related 37
