REPORT FROM CITY OF COSTA MESA MANAGEMENT ANALYST ON CITY'S RECYCLING
PROGRAM
Ms. Theriault presented an updated list of haulers -who currently hold franchises
with the City of Costa Mesa for the collection of commercial refuse including
construction and demolition debris. The haulers are also responsible for
education of the businesses they serve and Ms. Theriault will provide samples
of the education materials to the Recycling Committee.
Ms. Theriault reviewed the yearly reporting to the State by the City and how
population and sales information are used in the methodology. The City is
currently recycling above the required 50% benchmark.
Ms. Theriault compared the yearly tonnages collected in the commercial
program and reported an increase over the last few years. Ms. Theriault will
provide additional information. The increase in the commercial program mirrors
the increase the District has experienced in the residential program.
Ms. Theriault reported the State is requesting additional details on construction •
and demolition debris but has not yet requested information on the new
universal waste recycling requirements effective February 9, 2006. Ms.
Theriault discussed the recycling of fluorescent tubes that will affect the City
since most of the offices in City Hall use this type of lighting.
Ms. Theriault also reported the school districts are exempt from the City's
program because they are State agencies. The Recycling Committee thanked
Ms. Theriault for her attendance and. comprehensive report and invited her back
in the future.
