DISCUSSION
The City's Franchise Agreement with CR&R emphasizes source separation as the first priority for
residential, multifamily, commercial and roll off services, and requires CR&R to achieve a 50%
diversion rate for all waste collected and for each service category. The attached June 2010 report
from CR&R indicates that the diversion objectives are on track for 2010.
The diversion rates for the period of January 1 through June 30 are summarized below:
Tons Tons Tons
Service Category Collected Landfilled Recycled Diversion Rate
Single Family 10,113 4,628 5,485 54%
Multi Family 7,664 3,534 4,130 54%
Commercial 10,744 4,982 5,763 54%
C&D Roll Off 4,494 2,150 2,343 52%
Total 33,015 15,294 17,722 53.7%
When compared with the first six months of 2009, waste collection is down by 600 tons and waste
diversion is up by approximately 900 tons. Reflecting current economic conditions, commercial
waste collection is down by 2,700 tons. Construction and demolition waste collections have

increased by over 2,000 tons and residential and multifamily waste and diversion volumes are
virtually unchanged.
In order to increase commercial waste diversion, a limited 12 month pilot food waste collection
program has been implemented at five local food establishments. The program is beginning to
show some positive results while helping CR&R to develop techniques for the collection,
transportation and processing of food waste materials. The five Tustin businesses currently
participating are Lucilles, Oggi's Pizza, the Tustin Ranch Golf Course, Ruby's Diner, and
Rutebegorz. In the first three months of the pilot program, over 39 tons of food waste has been
collected from these businesses and the amount of food waste collected has progressively
increased at every establishment in each month.
CalRecycle (formerly the California Integrated Waste Management Board) annually recognizes
local businesses for efforts to manage their waste stream by way of the Waste Reduction Awards
Program. Staff has encouraged The Home Depot, The District and Victory Foam to apply for
consideration this year because each company has demonstrated a commitment to the principles
to reduce, reuse and recycle. Ricoh will also apply and has been a perennial winner due to its
progressive zero waste programs. 2010 award winners will be notified by CalRecycle by the end
of October.
Staff has submitted the 2009 Annual Report to CalRecycle. The report to the State provides a
detailed narrative review of the City's program efforts and includes a statistical analysis of the
waste that is disposed by the City on a per capita basis. Based on past history, CalRecycle has
determined that the maximum per capita disposal rate for the City is 6.1 lbs. per person, per day.
The 2009 annual report indicates that the current per capita disposal rate is 3 Ibs per person, per
day. Under the CIWMB's old generation based measurement system, staff estimates that this
would be equivalent to an approximately 75% diversion rate for all waste generated in the City. As
a follow up to this report, staff and CR&R will be providing a tour to a CalRecycle representative
later this month. The tour will emphasize the City's successful implementation of commercial and
multifamily recycling programs
Staff is continuing to work with CR&R to plan both a household hazardous waste collection event
and a mulch distribution event this fall. Each event will be free of charge for Tustin residents.
In conclusion, staff is very pleased with multiple aspects of the City's solid waste program and the
efforts of CR&R. No action is required by the City Council at this time and staff recommends that
the City Counciyreceive and file this report
