ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 8.2
TO: Mayor and Town Council November 16, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 76-2021, approving a Recovered Organic Waste Product
Procurement Policy as required by SB 1383 and regulations to implement
the policy
BACKGROUND
In September 2016, Governor Brown signed into law SB 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes
of 2016), establishing methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce
emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) in various sectors of California’s
economy. SB 1383 is the most significant waste reduction mandate to be adopted in
California in the last 30 years. It includes statewide goals to reduce the disposal of organic
waste and edible food for human consumption. The goal to reduce organic waste by 50
percent by January 1, 2020 and by 75% by January 1, 2025.
The intent and purpose of SB 1383 is to reduce landfill and pollution; fight against climate
change; reduce and recover food from landfill to feed those in need and recycle organic
materials into new products. Additionally, the law grants CalRecycle the regulatory
authority required to achieve the organic waste disposal reduction targets.
DISCUSSION
To accomplish statewide goals, SB 1383 regulations include prescriptive requirements for
jurisdictions related to recycling and organics collection, inspection, procurement of
recycled organic products, enforcement, community outreach and edible food recovery.
The Town of Danville is a member of a Joint Powers Authority comprised of the Cities of
Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Walnut Creek and certain unincorporated areas of Contra
Costa County known as Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCCSWA), DBA
RecycleSmart. The primary purpose of the RecycleSmart is to provide stable, long-term,
environmentally responsible, cost-effective options for all aspects of solid waste disposal
including recyclables and hazardous waste. RecycleSmart is responsible for meeting the
majority of regulations to comply with SB1383 on behalf of its member agencies.
SB 1383 also requires that all local jurisdiction’s adopt procurement policies addressing
the purchase of organic recycled materials. For the Town, this will primarily involve the
purchase of mulch, compost and paper products. The law sets minimum amounts of
organic recycled materials which must be acquired and requires detailed tracking and
Recovered Organic Waste 2 November 16, 2021
Procurement Policy
record keeping of all purchases both by the Town and by any contractors used by the
Town. The Town is required to procure over 3,500 tons of recycled organic content
during the 2022 calendar year.
CalRecycle, the state agency charged with overseeing compliance to SB 1383 regulations,
prepared a model procurement policy that contains all the mandatory language in SB
1383, enabling regulations, while providing options for each jurisdiction to consider.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public. The policy was
discussed at the Town Council study session of November 9, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT
This unfunded state mandate has the potential to generate significant financial impacts
for the Town, dependent upon the cost of additional materials that are required to be
purchased and additional staff time required to procure materials, track usage and
comply with mandated reporting requirements. Additional costs will be quantified
further preparatory to the 2022/23 operating budget process.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 76-2021, approving a recovered organic waste product
procurement policy as required by SB 1383 and regulations to implement the policy.
