SUBJECT: 2010 ANNUAL SOLID WASTE PROGRAM REPORT
SUMMARY
CR&R, Inc has submitted its required annual report for 2010. Staff has completed a review of the
data included in the report and is providing a summary report of the City's solid waste program.
While the total volume of waste collected by CR&R in 2010 remained the same as 2009, CR&R
was able to increase the volume of waste recycled from 52% to 56%.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
DISCUSSION
The City solid waste program primarily consists of managing the solid waste contract with CR&R
and insuring compliance with state regulatory requirements. The City's contract with CR&R
specifies programs that emphasize source separation as the first priority for residential, multifamily,
commercial and roll off services. The attached 2010 report from CR&R includes the annual
collection and diversion summary and staff has verified that CR&R achieved all of the contract
objectives for waste diversion in 2010. The 2010 solid waste diversion rates are summarized
below:
Service Category Tons
Collected Tons
Landfilled Tons
Recycled Diversion Rate
Single Family 20,599 9,501 11,098 54%
Multi Family 15,501 6,760 8,741 56%
Commercial 21,612 9,245 12,367 57%
CS<D Roll Off 9,506 4,147 5,359 56%
Total 67,219 29,653 37,565 56%
The total volume of waste collected by CR8~R was virtually unchanged from 2009 to 2010. And
while the volume of waste was in each service category was also unchanged in 2010, CR&R's
waste diversion programs showed improved results in most categories in 2010.

CR&R single family diversion rate improved from 50% in 2009 to 54% in 2010. These results can
be attributed to improved residential participation and more effective processing by CR&R. CR&R
continues to work with staff to adjust its outreach efforts to better educate citizens on the
residential recycling program.
Multifamily waste recycling was improved from 52% in 2009 to 56% in 2010. Source separation of
waste and recyclables can be very difficult for many multifamily complexes due to physical space
limitations and tenant participation issues. Therefore, multifamily recycling goals have been
achieved by emphasizing the processing of most waste materials through CR&R's Stanton
Material Recovery Facilities and then by implementing source separation at those locations that
have the physical space to accommodate recycling bins.
CR&R also exceeded the 2009 commercial waste program results (52%) by recycling 57% of the
waste collected. Source separation of waste and recyclables remains the preferable method of
achieve program goals for commercial customers. However, in those cases where this is not
possible, CR&R processes business waste at its recovery facilities in Stanton.
Large roll off bins are utilized by high volume construction and commercial producers. 56% of the
waste collected from these customers was recycled by CR&R in 2010. City staff's enforcement of
Franchise Agreement exclusivity for roll off bins and the City's Construction and Demolition Debris
Ordinance also contributed to the success of this program.
Notable Program Accomplishments
2009 Annual Report to CalRecycle
In August of 2010, CalRecycle staff completed its review of the City's solid waste programs and
determined that the City is in full compliance with state program requirements for the 2009
calendar year.
CalRecycle WRAP
The Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) is an annual program to recognize California
businesses that have made outstanding efforts to reduce the waste that goes to our landfills. After
a detailed review of their waste management efforts, three Tustin businesses have been
recognized by CalRecycle as 2010 winners. The 2010 winners are Vestar Property Management,
Victory Foam and Ricoh Electronics, Inc.
Food Waste Program
A County funded pilot food waste recycling program was implemented in CR&R cities beginning in
April of 2010. Food Waste program participants in Tustin include Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Q,
In-N-Out Burger, the clubhouse at Tustin Ranch Golf Club, Ruby's Diner and Rutabegorz
Restaurant. To date, 134 tons of food waste has been collected in Tustin and processed at the
California Bio-Mass, Inc. facility in Thermal, California.
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event
The first annual household hazardous waste collection event was conducted on October 30, 2010
at the Main Street Water Facility parking lot. Approximately 260 vehicles delivered a total 24,990
lbs. of materials to CR&R during the one day event. All materials were immediately removed from
the site and processed in accordance with state and federal requirements.
