2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan One way that would lead to increased involvement and diversion would be to require all apartments of a certain size to participate in some sort of move-out waste reduction program. This could take many forms. Apartments could choose to participate in the AMOWRP; they could set up their own move-out program, or could file for an exemption. The AMOWRP, as stated above, is limited in its ability to accommodate every apartment property in town; there are too many apartments and staff is too limited to make this a possible option for all apartments to take. The AMWROP could be redesigned slightly so that only the largest apartments may take this option, or the first to sign up for the program each year. Staff could enforce a registration cap of 50 apartments. Any that apply afterwards would be required to set up their own move-out program. If such an ordinance would be implemented, many apartments would likely set up and manage their own type of move-out program (to meet City minimum standards), where materials are separated for reuse and recycling. City staff could provide assistance in the form of a “how to” guide on setting up a move-out program: electronic copies of fliers and posters, a list of places to take items for reuse and recycling, lists of thrift stores, non-profits, etc. that will collect reused items, etc. Such “do-it-yourself move-out kits” can easily be supplied to all apartments, can be posted on DavisRecycling.org, etc. Between creating the language for the ordinance, setting up workshops with apartment managers, creating an outreach campaign and getting approval from NRC and City Council, this would be a time-intensive option to set-up. However, as the move-out program has shown, this may be a very effective way to divert a large amount wasted material. As shown in section 9.1.2, the AMOWRP has already succeeded in reducing turnover waste by 40% at participating apartments. If this same program was applied at all large apartments in the City, not just the few that participate in the AMOWRP, the waste diversion could be significant. Mandatory Move-out Waste Reduction Program ordinance would require the following items: Drafting of the Ordinance o Definitions o Exemptions Maybe apartment properties with fewer than 25 units are exempt o Requirements Must show proof of participation in a move-out waste reduction program AMOWRP Privately run move-out program Draft outreach plan o Encouragement of community “garage sales” o Encourage free web postings like Freecycle, Craigslist, etc. o Maybe tie in with an August Bulky Items Days DRAFT Meet with stakeholders to receive input on the ordinance Refine draft ordinance Approval process o NRC o City Council CEQA documents/process Meet with stakeholders to receive input on the ordinance Approval process o NRC Page | 7-66
2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan o City Council 7.2.10 Rate Adjustments There will be a need for solid waste rate adjustments in the future, whether to keep up with landfill tipping fee increases, DWR contract increases or as part of a new solid waste program coming online. These rate adjustments will follow the required Prop 218 process, (see section 8.3.3 below). 8 Solid Waste Rates and Funding 8.1 Existing Conditions 8.1.1 Past and Current Rates, and Rate Structure All properties within the City are required to subscribe to solid waste collection and handling services provided by DWR. The franchise agreement with DWR establishes rates for solid waste services, which are passed on to property owners within the city. In addition, the City utilizes the solid waste rates to cover administrative and operational costs for its sanitary and refuse services, including its recycling program, and to maintain the State mandated per capita disposal target. On average, the City collects about $9 million per year for the solid waste fund with the expenditure breakdown as follows: - 85% to DWR for garbage, yard material and recycling services - 7% to DWR for street sweeping service - 4% for billing and other inter-City department costs - 4% for City’s solid waste program (materials, outreach and staff time). DRAFT Solid waste rate increases cover the increasing cost of garbage, recycling and yard material collection, and street sweeping service. See Appendix O for a comparison of solid waste rates for single-family garbage service in Davis and other jurisdictions. As shown below, over the past 16 years, solid waste rates have averaged a 2.23% yearly increase. However, as the data also shows, this has not been a regular steady increase, but rather a fluctuating series of increases. Page | 8-67
