18-268
Recommendation: That the Rules Committee approve the following recommendation:
When Environmental Services staff return to Council in May for an
update on residential solid waste contracts, staff is directed to report
and give recommendations on a range of
options to the Council on the following issues:
1. Staff's assessment of the potential impact of changes to China’s
import rules and/or tariffs on any current recycled materials on San
Jose’s recycling program, and an assessment of whether altered
contract terms, both in current residential waste contracts and in
future contracts, are needed to ensure that contractors are not
unfairly penalized for market developments beyond their control.
2. Conduct new independent waste characterization study as
requested by at least one recycling hauler and explore feasibility of
cost-sharing with haulers.
3. The possibility of eliminating the diversion penalty until such time
as a waste characterization study has been completed and its results
have been evaluated within the context of the market considerations
referenced in Recommendation #1 and in consultation with recycling
haulers.
