2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan The downtown core area and major arterial streets are swept twice a week. “Terrace” streets do not have their streets swept weekly; these streets are too small. See Figure 5-6 below for the map of downtown street sweeping and parking restrictions. FIGURE 5-6 DOWNTOWN STREET SWEEPING AND PARKING RESTRICTIONS DRAFT The City receives occasional complaints regarding street sweeping. Usually the issue is a neighbor’s car is often parked in front of their house, making it impossible for DWR to perform street sweeping. Sometimes a resident doesn’t have a driveway and must park on the street, making yard material collection and street sweeping difficult, if not impossible. DWR can only effectively sweep the gutters if there are no cars parked on the street. However, while outreach stresses the importance of not parking on the street on street sweeping days, there is nothing in the City Code forbidding this in most areas, so there is very little that staff can do when such complaints arise. 5.2 Bulky Items Drop-off Days The Bulky Items Drop-Off Days, held by the City and DWR, allows Davis residents the opportunity to drop-off large bulky items at a central collection point for free. This yearly event is held at DWR recycling center, 2727 2 nd Street. Page | 5-24
2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan At this event, residents are invited to bring old refrigerators and freezers, large appliances, mattresses, furniture, sinks, bathtubs, toilets, scrap wood, scrap metal, and other bulky items for free disposal. Materials that are brought to the Bulky Items Drop-off are separated out. Scrap metal, wood, plastics, cardboard and appliances are recycled. Since 2008, electronics and rigid plastics are accepted and recycled as well. During the event, DWR separates out good and salvageable material to a scavenging area for reuse. These items are available for individuals to take at no charge. The amount of material taken from the scavenging area is difficult to quantify, but the scavenging area is viewed by both DWR and the City as a successful way to keep good, usable items out of the landfill. 5.3 Davis Waste Removal Recycling Center DWR collects all the recycling in Davis and in some unincorporated areas of Yolo County. DWR operates a recycling facility at 2727 2 nd Street. All recyclables collected by DWR come to this facility where they are sorted and prepared for sale to recycling brokers. DWR is not operating at maximum capacity and there is no reason to believe that achieving the City’s the year 2020 waste reduction target will adversely affect the recycling facility. DWR offers 24/7 drop-off recycling for the following items: Cardboard Plastics #1-#7 Rigid plastics Aluminum cans Tin foil Paper Glass bottles Steel cans Scrap metal Used motor oil and oil filters DWR also offers CRV buyback Monday – Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. DWR operates a 15 acre facility on County Road 105D where they bring all the yard materials collected from Davis and Unincorporated Yolo County. This facility is permitted to accept 150 tons of yard materials a day and can store the yard materials for up to 7 days. Yard materials are transferred from this site to a trailer and brought to a composting facility. 5.4 Recycling DRAFT DWR trucks bring recyclables collected from all the recycling carts in the City to their recycling center at 2727 2 nd Street in Davis. Here the material is placed on conveyor belts. Magnets remove the ferrous metals and workers sort through the rest of the material by hand. There are two separate sorting lines: one for paper, one for plastics, glass and metals. See Appendix P for pictures of the sorting at DWR. 5.4.1 Materials Collected by DWR See the figure below for a history of the materials accepted for recycling by DWR. Page | 5-25
