AGENCY PARTNERSHIP
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District ( CCCSD) and Mt. View Sanitary District (MVSD)
are co- sponsors of the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Facility located
in Martinez, California, the first permanent HHW facility in Contra Costa County. The
facility's service area encompasses all of central Contra Costa County, with a served
population of approximately 471,000 (189,970 households). In 1995, all central Contra
Costa County cities', the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority, CCCSD and
MVSD resolved to support the establishment of a permanent HHW Collection Facility.
Cost efficiency, economies of scale, and broader service capabilities as compared to
mobile HHW collection events were recognized as benefits to the participating
communities. The facility began operation in fiscal year 1997/98 and will complete its
17th year of operation in October 2014.
This agency cooperation and partnership was the critical ingredient in making the HHW
Collection Facility a reality, and provided a sound solution to keep hazardous waste out
of sanitary sewers, storm drains, and solid waste landfills. The agency partnership
agreements provide for reliable, equitable funding of the HHW Collection Program and
ensure that HHW collection services are available to all central Contra Costa County
residents and eligible businesses.
This annual report for fiscal year 2013/14 presents the facility participation levels and an
analysis of the hazardous waste dropped off at the collection facility. The high level of
participation and amount of hazardous waste properly managed at the collection facility
demonstrates the benefit of the program to both public health and the environment.

Section 1: Program Summary
PROGRAM SUMMARY
The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Facility is completing its 17th year of
operation. The HHW Collection Program serves all of central Contra Costa County,
comprised of 189,970 households, with a population of approximately 471,000. The HHW
Program service area has seen steady increases in the number of households over the past
16 years. Program participation has also increased steadily from the 7.8 percent of
households served during the inception year in 1997/98. By fiscal year (FY) 2003/04, and
through FY 2005/06, average participation was up to 12 percent, and continued to climb to
15 percent in FY 2009/10. Average program participation for both FY 2010/11 and FY
2012/13 was approximately 15.5 percent. Average participation in FY 2013/14 increased
slightly to 15.9 percent. The program's sustained increase in participation over the years
can be attributed primarily to on -going advertising in CCCSD's Pipeline newsletter, MVSD's
newsletter The Mt. View Monitor, and "word of mouth" by residents, businesses and other
public agencies. The rise in participation starting in FY 2006/07 is attributed to universal
waste disposal (defined as fluorescent lamps and household batteries) and most recently to
PaintCare (2013). The number of residential customers served by the program in FY
2013/14 was 30,379, a rather large increase of 1,260 customers over the previous year
(see Section 3).

"Universal Wastes" for the purpose of this report are wastes, such as fluorescent lamps and
household batteries. Fluorescent lamp volumes in FY 2013/14 increased to 339,000 linear
feet from 310,000 feet last year. Household battery volumes also increased from 53,435
pounds in FY 2012/13 to 56,037 in FY 2013/14.
Mobile Collection Events
No annual mobile collection event was held in San Ramon in FY 2013/14 as the city
launched a door -to -door collection program in lieu of the annual event. (See Section 7 for a
detailed explanation of this program).
Small Business Program
The small business component, or Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator
1 -2
(CESQG) program, continued to provide services to eligible businesses. In FY 2013/14,
CESQG appointments decreased by 12 percent compared to the previous year. It is
assumed that the decrease is partly due to painting contractors and businesses being able
to dispose of paint for free at PaintCare collection sites in our service area.
Waste Collection
A total of 2,039,511 pounds of hazardous waste was collected in FY 2013/14. Of this total
464,255 pounds of reusable products were sorted and given away through the facility's
HHW Reuse Program. The remaining 1,575,256 pounds of waste consisted of primarily
flammable liquids, oil -based and latex paint, motor oil, and poisons. These five waste
categories accounted for 79 percent of the total wastes disposed. The remaining 21 percent
included corrosives, aerosols, lead -acid car batteries, and other types of hazardous waste.
The average weight of hazardous waste collected per car was virtually unchanged from last
year at 66 pounds (see Figure 1 -3). Over 90 percent of all hazardous waste collected
through the program was managed as a beneficial use (reused, recycled, or blended as a
fuel) (see Section 6).

The operating cost per pound of waste collected shown in Figure 1 -4 includes the cost to
manage all wastes collected by the entire program. The cost per pound of waste collected
for FY 2013/14 shows a decrease of about $0.12 per pound or 8.8 %.
Sustained success was achieved in all elements of the HHW Collection Program for its 17th
year of operation. This program continues to meet the need for residential and small
business hazardous waste drop -off services. The HHW Collection Program also serves as
an important component of CCCSD's overall Pollution Prevention Program, where a
significant amount of hazardous waste is reused, recycled, or properly disposed of, rather
than polluting the San Francisco Bay.

PaintCare
The PaintCare program began collecting paint at retail locations in November 2012. The
District began collecting paint under the program in the middle of March 2013. The HHW
Program collected over 250,000 pounds of paint for the remaining three and a half months
of the fiscal year and saved over $95,000 in material, transportation and disposal /recycling
costs.
In FY 2013/14, the first full year with the PaintCare Program, collected over 1,000,000
pounds of PaintCare eligible wastes and either reused, recycled or used these products as
1 -4
a fuel. This resulted in over $340,000 of avoided transportation, disposal, and handling
costs.
More about PaintCare can be found in Section 4.
Pollution Prevention
The HHW Program is an integral part of both CCCSD's and MVSD's source control and
pollution prevention efforts. Both agencies have a number of pollutants of concern that the
HHW Facility helps to keep out of the wastewater entering the treatment plant. The HHW
Facility diverted over 49,000 pounds of hazardous waste considered as pollutants of
concern, which include mercury, lead, copper, fat /oil /grease (better known as FOG), and
legacy pesticides. See Section 5 for additional information regarding CCCSD's pollution
prevention efforts.
Pharmaceutical Collection Program
In February 2009, CCCSD partnered with the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff and
the City of the Walnut Creek to begin collecting unwanted pharmaceuticals from residents.
In the first three months of the program, the three sites collected more than 1,500 pounds of
medications and in FY 2009/10, the program grew to 11 collection sites and collected over
7,000 pounds of medications. In FY2013/14, the program opened two additional collection
sites, one in Alamo and one in Lafayette. This brings the total number of collection sites to
13; now each community in the HHW Program service area has access to a local
pharmaceutical collection site.
In FY 2013/14 over 12,600 pounds of unwanted pharmaceuticals were collected and
properly disposed of at a cost of about $27,000. This is about 10 percent more
pharmaceuticals collected than in FY 2012/13, at only a 4 percent increase in cost. The
ongoing success of the program, in no small part, can be attributed to the effort of our law
enforcement partners who manage the collection sites. More about the Pharmaceutical
Collection Program can be found in (Section 5).

Section 2: Program Description
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Objectives
The objectives of the HHW Program include:
Eliminate or reduce improper disposal of hazardous wastes in sanitary sewers,
storm drains, and solid waste landfills.
Encourage residents and small businesses to reduce their generation of hazardous
waste.
Provide convenient, cost - effective, and safe hazardous waste drop -off and disposal
services for central Contra Costa County residents and eligible small businesses.
Follow the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)
hierarchy: reduce - reuse - recycle hazardous waste to the greatest extent possible
before incineration /treatment, and landfill.
• Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and requirements,
including CCCSD's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit requirements.
Goals
To achieve the program objectives stated above, the following HHW Collection Program
goals were established:
• Maintain a minimum annual participation rate of 4 percent of the households within
each city and unincorporated community in the service area.
• Provide educational outreach programs targeting central Contra Costa County
residents and small businesses, emphasizing the importance of hazardous waste
reduction, reuse, recycling, and proper disposal.
• Maintain a landfill diversion rate of greater than 50 percent of the total weight of
waste processed through the facility. This level of landfill diversion is based on the
California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939). See Section 6 for
results.
• Continually improve operational efficiency.

HHW Facility Location and Operating Hours
The HHW Collection Facility is located at 4797 Imhoff Place, Martinez, northeast of the
Interstate 680 /Highway 4 interchange, adjacent to CCCSD's Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The facility is open to residents and small businesses Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. No appointment is required for residents. The facility serves small businesses by
appointment only.
The HHW Facility is closed on all CCCSD holidays. In addition, the HHW Facility is closed
for the week between Christmas and New Year's. Notice of these closures is provided
through the CCCSD website, the HHW InfoLine, and signage on the entrance gate to the
facility.
Eligible Communities
Residents and qualifying small businesses in the following communities are eligible to use
the HHW Facility services: Alamo, Blackhawk, Clayton, Clyde, Concord, Danville, Diablo,
Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Orinda, Pacheco, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon, Walnut Creek,
and other unincorporated central Contra Costa County areas.
Types of Hazardous Waste Accepted
A full range of hazardous wastes (e.g., products with corrosive, flammable, toxic, or
oxidizing properties) are accepted at the HHW Facility. Other products with labels indicating
a hazardous material (i.e., the words, "poison," "caution," "danger," "warning," "skin or eye
irritant," and /or "environmental hazards," for example) are also accepted. Typical types of
hazardous wastes accepted include: cleaners, automotive care products, paint and paint -
related products, garden care and pest - control products, household batteries, and spent
automotive batteries.
Unacceptable wastes include: electronic waste, radioactive waste, pharmaceuticals,
medical waste (e.g., hypodermic needles), explosive waste (e.g., ammunition, dynamite,
shock - sensitive chemicals), and waste contaminated with PCBs at concentrations greater
than 50 ppm.
2 -2
Mercury Collection Program
Mercury is a pollutant that causes water quality problems at very low concentrations. The
HHW Program promotes proper mercury disposal through acceptance of mercury -
containing wastes and a mercury thermometer exchange program. This program offers
customers a solar - powered digital thermometer in exchange for their mercury thermometer.
In FY 2013/14, 693 mercury thermometers were collected from residents, small businesses
and schools. In exchange, the program gave out 34 digital thermometers. To date, nearly
5,600 digital thermometers have been given out since the program began in 1999. Other
types of mercury- containing wastes accepted include fluorescent bulbs, mercury switches,
and elemental mercury. An estimated 62 pounds of elemental mercury was collected from
over 42,000 pounds of mercury- containing wastes during FY 2013/14.
HHW Reuse Program
Program participants are encouraged to "shop" for free reusable products provided through
the HHW Reuse Program. A wide variety of reusable household products, including paint
and paint - related material, garden products, automotive products and cleaners, are
available for customers on a first -come, first - served basis. Reuse Room hours are: Monday
through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Only uncontaminated products that are in their original containers with original legible
labeling are placed on Reuse Room shelves. Products that are banned by Federal, State, or
local regulations are not placed in the Reuse Room. Over 464,000 pounds of reusable
items were given away to more than 15,000 Reuse Room customers in FY 2013/14.
HHW Collection Facility Staffing
The HHW Collection Facility is operated with District staff. Regular District staff is
augmented with contract labor when necessary to accommodate seasonal fluctuations in
participation. The HHW Collection Facility began operating in 1997 with three regular staff:
one HHW Supervisor, one Senior HHW Technician, and one HHW Technician 1 /11. This
staffing level was based on a projected annual participation rate of 4 percent, which was
almost doubled in the first year of operation (i.e. 7.8 percent).
2 -3
In response to the high demand for HHW drop -off service, CCCSD's Board of Directors
approved an additional regular HHW Technician I /11 position during FY 1999/00 and an
additional regular Senior HHW Technician position during FY 2000/01. That level of regular
District personnel: one HHW Supervisor, two Senior HHW Technicians and two HHW
Technicians I /11, was achieved in October 2001. Participation levels were at 10.8 percent.
With participation levels in FY 2007/08 exceeding 14 percent, CCCSD's Board of Directors
approved an additional HHW Technician 1 /11 to meet increased demand. The current level of
regular District personnel at the HHWCF is one HHW Supervisor, two Senior HHW
Technicians, and three HHW Technicians 1 /11.
HHW Collection Facility Rules
The following HHW Collection Facility rules were established to: 1) maintain compliance
with Federal, State and local regulations, 2) determine program eligibility, and 3) maintain a
safe operation:
• The waste must be generated by a central Contra Costa County resident or business
and transported to the HHW Collection Facility or mobile HHW collection events by
an eligible resident or business. Exceptions are accommodated for certain
circumstances (e.g., deceased eligible resident with a family member from out of the
service area delivering the wastes, and CCCSD /MVSD employees who live outside
the service area).
• The quantity of hazardous waste transported by residents must not exceed
125 pounds (approximately 15 gallons) or 220 pounds (approximately 27 gallons) if
transported by businesses.
• Participants must not transport unacceptable HHW to the facility (explosives,
pharmaceuticals, medical waste, PCB waste, or radioactive waste).
• Participants must remain in their vehicle.
• Participants must not smoke while receiving HHW collection service.
• Businesses must make an appointment prior to dropping off hazardous wastes.
• HHW must not be illegally dumped.
The two rules that are violated most frequently are: 1) participants exceeding the allowable
transportation limit; and 2) residents and businesses arrive from outside of the service area.
The discussion below explains how each of these violations is addressed.
2 -4
Participants are asked to remain in their vehicles for their own safety and as required by
law. Participants are also asked to carefully pack and transport waste in closed containers
no larger than 5 gallons (no garbage bags) to prevent spills during transport. Separating
products by material type is recommended to avoid the potential for mixing of incompatible
chemicals that could react and create toxic vapors during transport.
Transportation Limits
Transportation limits apply to both residential and small business customers using the
facility. The transportation quantities apply to the actual amount of waste transported to the
facility and not the containers' capacity. The applicable transportation limits for residential
customers are 125 pounds or 15 gallons, and the limits for business customers are
27 gallons or 220 pounds. During FY 2013/14, 1,842 residential customers (6 percent of
residential customers) delivered wastes to the HHW Collection Facility in excess of the
transportation limits.
Typical reasons customers express for exceeding the limit are: 1) we are moving and had to
get rid of all of our HHW today; 2) we are from out of town /state and are cleaning our estate
property; and 3) gas prices are too high to make multiple trips. The customers are informed
that they have exceeded the transportation limit, provided with written information regarding
the transportation limits, then the wastes are received and processed through the facility.
The majority of these violators were Concord, Walnut Creek, and Martinez residents.
Proof of Residency
Proof of service area residency (California driver's license) is required to verify program
eligibility prior to facility acceptance of hazardous waste. Only residents and businesses
located in central Contra Costa County are eligible. When customers from outside the
facility's service area arrive to drop off wastes, their waste is rejected and they are provided
with contact information for the program in their area of residency. Two exceptions are
made for accepting HHW generated from outside of the facility's service area: 1) any
CCCSD or MVSD employee is eligible for service; 2) HHW is accepted and processed if the
load is determined not to be safe for further transport (e.g., wastes delivered in a leaking
container).
During FY 2013/14, 174 customers arrived from outside of the facility's service area. Based
2 -5
on the HHW acceptance criteria above, 38 of the 171 loads were rejected and 136 were
accepted and processed, of which 37 loads were deemed unsafe for further transport. The
rejected loads were delivered from either east or west Contra Costa County, Solano
County, or were small businesses unaware of the program requirements. Eligible small
businesses were given literature regarding our Small Business Hazardous Waste Program.
The number of customers rejected from outside the service area decreased from 53 last
year.
Electronic Visitor Management
In 2009, the use of electronic visitor management software and a driver's license scanner
were utilized to capture residential participation data. This method of data collection allows
for paperless tracking, reduces the customers' wait - times, and reduces staff time as the
data does not have to be manually entered into a database. Some of the data captured was
used in a trial Geographic Data Integration (GDI) map that displays usage of the HHW
Facility. Eventually, this GDI map will be used to identify where HHW Program usage is low
so that targeted outreach can be provided. Staff has developed a privacy policy handout to
provide to those customers that are concerned with allowing their driver's license to be
scanned. Only the name and address of the customer are captured and recorded.
Unacceptable Wastes
There are very few wastes that cannot be accepted and processed through the facility.
When unacceptable wastes are delivered to the facility, they are rejected, unless staff
determines the waste is unsafe for further transportation. Under this scenario, the wastes
are accepted and processed safely, and the event is recorded for the facility's operating
record.
Occasionally unknowing residents have brought potentially dangerous or explosive
chemicals to the facility. Aged laboratory chemicals from a deceased relative have typically
been the source. Many of chemicals degrade or react with oxygen over time to create
complex shock or friction sensitive compounds that cannot be transported. In these cases,
County HazMat in conjunction with a local bomb squad is called to detonate these
dangerous materials onsite. No potentially explosive materials were delivered in FY
2013/14.
Sometimes, less dangerous but still unacceptable wastes such as ammunition or fireworks,
2 -6
gunpowder, primers, etc. are discovered in loads after the customer leaves the facility. They
are usually picked up by Sheriff Department staff or a taken to a local firearms dealer.
Abandoned Wastes
Occasionally, hazardous wastes are abandoned near the HHW Collection Facility or along
the access roads to the facility. HHW staff performs a community inspection two times per
week in order to identify abandoned wastes promptly. During FY 2013/14, seven events
were recorded where hazardous wastes were abandoned at or near the facility. Although
clear signage is posted to discourage illegal dumping, the parking area near the entrance or
exit gates of the HHW Collection Facility is the typical location where wastes have been
abandoned. The waste types found were household wastes such as oil, paint, batteries, and
propane cylinders. In all of these cases, the hazardous wastes were processed through the
HHW Collection Facility. Three to five abandonments per year are typical.
Funding
For residents within the CCCSD service area, funding is provided by a component of the
CCCSD Sewer Service Charge (approximately $13.45 per household per year of the total
annual Sewer Service Charge of $405 for 2013/14). For residents outside CCCSD's service
area, the HHW Collection Facility is funded through service agreements with MVSD,
Clayton, Concord, and San Ramon (for their residents who are outside CCCSD's service
area). They are charged the same per household as the households within the CCCSD
service area. Refer to Section 9 for additional information.

Section 3: HHW Collection Facility
Residential Participation
HHW FACILITY RESIDENTIAL PARTICIPATION
During FY 2013/14, 30,379 residential loads of HHW were processed through the
permanent HHW Facility. This represents a 15.9 percent participation rate of the 189,970
households in the program service area. During this fiscal year, 16 percent of the residential
participants were "first timers" to the facility. This is a decrease from last year's 17 percent
"first timer" rate. Adding in the roughly 15,000 Reuse Room customers served over 45,000
residents visited the HHW Facility in FY 2013/14.
Figure 3 -1 shows HHW program participation on a monthly basis. Participation ranged
between 1,356 cars in December and 3,022 cars in July. The lower participation during the
winter months is attributed to fewer operating days due to the holidays, and seasonal
fluctuations in participation presumably due to more inclement weather.

HHWCF Participation
Overall Average of Cars per Day
*From Fiscal Year 1997198 to September of 2001, the HHW Facility operated only 3 -112 days per week.
In September 2001, the facility open 5 days per week. In June of 2009 the facility began a six -day
operating week. By opening the additional day, the average number of cars per day was reduced.

Figure 3 -4 shows the consistent increase of participation since the HHW Program began.
Regulatory changes and increased public awareness of HHW disposal requirements are
some of the reasons for the HHW program's ever - growing success.
Table 3 on the following page presents the distribution by jurisdiction of the 30,379
participants in the residential portion of the HHW Program. The 185 residents outside of the
facility's service area shown on Table 3 were excluded from the participation rate
calculation. Table 3 also shows that each community exceeded the program's original goal
of 4 percent participation except for San Ramon. Annual HHW facility participation ranged
from 3.1 percent in the City of San Ramon to 37.4 percent in the City of Martinez.

Section 4:
Quantities of Wastes Collected
QUANTITIES OF WASTES COLLECTED
The HHW Collection Program disposed or recycled 1,575,256 pounds of waste during FY
2013/14 (see Table 4). This is about 6,000 pounds less than in FY 2012/13. With the
addition of the 464,255 pounds of HHW collected, separated, and given to the public for
reuse, 2,039,511 pounds of hazardous waste was collected and processed through the
HHW Collection Facility (see Table 5). An average of about 67 pounds of HHW per car was
dropped off by 30,740 customers (30,379 residents, 255 small business appointments, and
108 Pollution Solutions partnership drop offs). The wastes were transported from the HHW
Collection Facility for reuse, recycling, fuel blending, incineration, treatment, or landfill. Data
specific to the Reuse Room participation and materials reused is presented in Section 6.
The HHW Collection Program's 17th year of operation was very successful in providing an
appropriate option for customers to properly manage their hazardous wastes. This success
resulted in the removal of potentially dangerous materials from people's homes, diverting
the wastes from possible illegal disposal to solid waste landfill, storm drains, and sanitary
sewer systems. CalRecycle requires a report each fiscal year (July through June)
summarizing the amount and types of hazardous waste processed through each HHW
Collection Program in the state. The report also shows a breakdown of the waste
management method for each type of hazardous waste.
FY 2012/13 was the first year of electronic Form 303 reporting of the California Department
of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). The F303 report is required from all
HHW Programs in the state. The report documents what types of collection methods are
used, the amount of waste collected and its disposition, and participation. In the past a copy
of the written report was included in each of the previous HHW Annual Reports. To remain
consistent, the old Form 303 will continue to be used to describe what was collected and
how it was managed. It is included in Appendix I.
PaintCare
In November 2012, manufacturer sponsored PaintCare LLC, a non - profit product
stewardship agency began collection of architectural paint in California at approved retail
locations. There is no charge for residents and businesses to drop off program products to
the collection sites as long as the site is capable of managing the volume. PaintCare's
contractors are able pick up 300 - gallon or larger quantities from an individual's site at no
charge.
4 -1
The District has amended its current waste services contract with PSC Inc. to include the
PaintCare program as of March 19, 2013. All PaintCare products are managed at no cost to
the District. This includes shipping containers, transportation and disposal /recycling.
PaintCare also compensates the District for each container of PaintCare products given
away by our Reuse Program. A total of 264,134 pounds of reusable PaintCare products
were given away in FY 2013/14, for which the District was compensated over $20,000 by
PaintCare.
In all, more than 1 million pounds of PaintCare products were collected then reused,
recycled or used as a fuel. This is equal to nearly half of all wastes collected by the HHW
Program annually. Overall the program avoided over $340,000 of transportation, disposal,
materials and handling costs.

Section 5:
Pollution Prevention
POLLUTION PREVENTION EFFORTS
CCCSD owns and operates a municipal wastewater collection system and a 53.8- million-
gallons -per- day -rated treatment plant. CCCSD collects, treats, recycles, and disposes of
wastewater from approximately 471,000 residents of central Contra Costa County, including
all the partners and participants in the HHWCF (with the exception of those who discharge
to MVSD (see below) and about 14,000 residents in southern San Ramon, whose
wastewater flows to Dublin -San Ramon Services District.) The wastewater collection area
covers 141 square miles and includes approximately 1,500 miles of sewer pipes. In
FY 2013/14, the treatment plant treated nearly 13 billion gallons of wastewater. Of that,
600 million gallons of treated effluent were recycled and distributed for landscape irrigation
and in -plant uses. The remaining 12.4 billion gallons were discharged via a deep -water
outfall to Suisun Bay.
MVSD serves an estimated population of 19,000 with approximately 270 businesses in its
4.7 square mile service area. MVSD owns and operates a 110 -mile sewer collection
system with four pump stations and an advanced secondary treatment plant. MVSD
reclaims approximately 550 million gallons of water for over 100 acres of wetland habitat
every year. Through MVSD's Board of Directors' commitment to the wetlands project, a
wildlife habitat for more than 200 species has been established.
CCCSD'S Pollution Prevention Program
CCCSD's Pollution Prevention (P2) Program has evolved over the years to become an
important component of CCCSD's mission, which specifically includes P2 and reflects the
growing importance of P2 for regulatory compliance. The District is required to monitor and
prevent certain pollutants from entering the influent wastewater. The HHW Program helps
prevent wastes from reaching the sewer, and tracks the amount of waste that has diverted.
The HHW Program collects and properly disposes of many different pollutants, but those
that the treatment plant is most concerned with include: mercury, cyanide, dioxins,
acrylonitrile, copper, lead, and fats, oils and grease (FOG). HHW staff also monitors the
intake of bis- tributyltin, dieldrin, DDT (4,4 -DDE), diazinon and chlorpyrifos, as well as some
pollutants of emerging concern such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and
pharmaceuticals and personal care products, known as PPCPs. CCCSD's P2 activities and
its effectiveness measurements are summarized below.
5 -1
MVSD'S Pollution Prevention Program
MVSD is also committed to pollution prevention (P2) and environmental education.
Highlights of its P2 and environmental education program include the Wetlands Field Trip
Program that services more than 1,500 students annually, the P2 Classroom Program for
elementary school students in Martinez, and the P2 Billboard Program. To promote P2
efforts during Pollution Prevention Week (the third full week in September), MVSD has
partnered with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the
California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), Bay Area Clean Water Agencies
(BACWA), and CCCSD to produce pollution prevention messages and visuals for this
annual outreach effort. MVSD's billboard is located near its treatment plant along Interstate
680 in Martinez, one exit from the Benicia - Martinez Bridge.
Mercury Collection Program
The HHW program facilitates CCCSD's promotion of proper mercury disposal by accepting
elemental mercury, mercury- containing devices (e.g., fluorescent bulbs, batteries, mercury
switches, and mercury thermometers), and mercury- containing compounds (paints and
pesticides containing mercury).
Since the beginning of the mercury thermometer exchange program in 1999, nearly
5,600 digital thermometers have been provided to customers in exchange for a mercury
thermometer dropped off at the HHWCF.
Table 5 -1 describes the types of mercury- containing wastes that are tracked by HHW staff.
This system closely estimates the quantities of mercury contained in fluorescent lamps,
thermometers, thermostats, switches and button -cell batteries. Elemental mercury is also
weighed and tracked. Over 62 pounds of mercury contained in these types of wastes was
collected through the HHW program during FY 2013/14. Over 45 pounds of mercury -
containing compounds were also collected. The amount of mercury in paints, pesticides,
and other compounds is unknown, but mercury is listed as active ingredients on the labels.

Table 5 -1. FY 2013/14 Mercury Collection Summary
Other Pollutants
Some legacy pesticides and other pollutants are tracked separately in order to provide a
more accurate report of collected compounds. Table 5 -2 shows which pesticides and
pollutants of concern are tracked and the quantity collected in FY 2013/14.
Dioxin
Dioxin is a pollutant of concern because it impairs the water quality of Suisun Bay. Studies
have shown that it is a hormone disruptor in humans and aquatic life. Nearly 1,200 pounds
of dioxin containing compounds were collected and properly disposed of in FY 2013/14.
Dioxin can be found as byproducts in herbicides and wood preservatives such as 2,4,5 -T
(Silvex), trichlorophenol, and pentachlorophenol.

' Thermostats - Each HVAC -type thermostat contains approximately 3 grams of Hg in each ampoule.
2 Thermometers - A number of studies report that mercury- containing thermometers contain between 0.5 and 3 grams, depending
on their size. As a result, the fever -sized thermometer (1 gram Hg / thermometer) will be used to calculate the quantity of mercury
in all thermometers. Depending on the size of the thermometer, an estimated equivalent number of fever -sized thermometers will
be used (i.e., laboratory thermometers contain an average of 5 grams of mercury per thermometer. This sized thermometer
would contain 5 fever -sized thermometers.).
3 Switches - As there are no standard sizes or quantities of mercury in switches, all switches will be weighed and 25% of the gross
weight of switches will be subtracted to account for the containers.
° Mercury Batteries - Studies show that button -cell batteries can contain up to 25 mg of mercury in each battery. Since there is a
wide variety in the sizes of button cells, the following is assumed: There are roughly 250 various sized button -cells in one pound.
An average of 12.5 mg /cell accounts for all sizes. Therefore, 250 cells x 12.5 mg = 3,125 mg of mercury per pound of button -cell
batteries.
5 Based on numerous studies, fluorescent lamps have as little as 3.5 mg of mercury with some having as much as 60 mg. The
average concentration found after 1994 is 22.8 mg per 4 -foot lamp. In July 2012 this estimate was revised based on a 2005
NEMA study saying that an average of 2.075 mg Hg are in each foot of fluorescent lamp..
6 The weight of paints, pesticides, and other is not included in the Total Hg in Pounds figure. The actual mercury content is
unknown. On product labels the concentration is not always listed. The weight is calculated as the pesticides are in Table 7.
Other Pollutants
Some legacy pesticides and other pollutants are tracked separately in order to provide a
more accurate report of collected compounds. Table 5 -2 shows which pesticides and
pollutants of concern are tracked and the quantity collected in FY 2013/14.
Dioxin
Dioxin is a pollutant of concern because it impairs the water quality of Suisun Bay. Studies
have shown that it is a hormone disruptor in humans and aquatic life. Nearly 1,200 pounds
of dioxin containing compounds were collected and properly disposed of in FY 2013/14.
Dioxin can be found as byproducts in herbicides and wood preservatives such as 2,4,5 -T
(Silvex), trichlorophenol, and pentachlorophenol.
5 -3
PCB
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are on our list of Pollutants of Emerging Concern. PCBs
are compounds that degrade slowly in the environment and bioaccumulate, and are
considered probable human carcinogens. A typical source of PCBs is from pre -1980
fluorescent lamp ballasts and capacitors. During FY 2013/14, about 700 pounds of PCB
containing ballasts and capacitors were collected and properly disposed of by the HHW
Program.

Pharmaceutical Collection Program
Another way the HHW Program contributes to CCCSD's P2 program is by collecting
unused, unwanted, and expired pharmaceuticals (pharms) from residents. Pharms can be a
threat to our bay, rivers and creeks as some of the compounds they contain cannot be
entirely treated or removed by wastewater treatment plants. Pharms can enter the sewer
system by either excretion from the body because the body cannot metabolize all of the
medication taken, or by customers dumping them down the drain. Since we cannot prevent
5 -4
unmetabolized medications from entering the treatment plant, we have established a
program to collect unwanted pharms. Another reason for collecting unwanted pharms is to
reduce prescription drug abuse and incidents of medications taken by children and the
elderly by mistake.
In order to legally collect pharms, CCCSD first partnered with the Contra Costa County
Office of the Sheriff and the City of Walnut Creek Police Department. Three collection sites
were originally established as a pilot in February 2009. The locations were at the Sheriff
Field Operations Building in Martinez, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (County
Hospital) in Martinez, and the City of Walnut Creek City Hall. The sites are responsible for
monitoring and managing the collection bins and containers, while CCCSD pays for
disposal and outreach.
During the first five months of the pilot, the three sites collected over 1,500 pounds of
unwanted medications. This was viewed as a great success, so CCCSD's Board of
Directors offered the remaining communities of central Contra Costa County an opportunity
to have a collection site, as long as it fit the same model as the pilot locations.
There are now 13 collection sites in all 11 cities and towns in our service area. Below is the
list of communities in our service area that have collection sites:
Town of Alamo
City of Clayton
City of Concord
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
CCC Sheriff's Field Ops Building
Town of Danville
City of Lafayette
City of Martinez
Town of Moraga
City of Orinda
City of Pleasant Hill
City of San Ramon
Walnut Creek City Hall
Since the pharmaceutical program began, over 54,000 pounds of unwanted medications
have been collected and properly disposed of by incineration. In FY 2013/14, the 13 sites
collected 12,597 pounds of unwanted prescribed, non - prescribed, and over - the - counter
medications. The cost of collection and disposal for FY 2013/14 was $27,018 or $2.15 per
pound (see table 5 -3).
Outreach for the pharmaceutical program has been via City, County, and District websites,
5 -5
newspaper articles, and brochures (see example on next page) at pharmacies. It is notable
that the pharmaceutical collection program has become successful even with limited
outreach.
Residents are asked to transfer their pill form medications to plastic bags to protect
personal information as well as maximize the space inside the collection container. Liquid
medications should remain in their original container and sealed in a plastic bag to prevent
spills.
Table 5 -3 describes the amount of pharmaceuticals collected by each site and the cost of
collection and disposal.

Section 6:
Wastes Diverted From Landfill Disposal
WASTES DIVERTED FROM SEWER AND LANDFILL DISPOSAL
The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) requires diversion of
HHW from the municipal solid waste stream. AB 939 established a waste management
hierarchy to minimize the amount of HHW sent to landfills through reduction, reuse,
recycling, treatment, or incineration (fuel blending or destructive incineration), and diverts a
minimum of 50 percent of solid waste from being landfilled. The emphasis is on reduction,
reuse and recycling whenever possible.
As a water quality agency, diverting HHW from the sewers and storm drains is equally
important. The HHW Collection Facility's waste management strategy mirrors AB 939,
prioritizing HHW reduction, reuse, recycling, and fuel blending, in that order, to the greatest
extent feasible. All of which divert these wastes from being land- filled. The HHW program's
progress toward sewer and landfill diversion for FY 2013/14 is outlined below.
HHW Reduction
CCCSD has achieved seventeen successful years of its Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Program, which encourages the reduction of hazardous waste generated through
alternative gardening maintenance techniques and plant selection. IPM activities include
store participation to promote less -toxic pest control products, "Healthy Gardening"
workshops conducted by Master Gardeners at various locations throughout the HHW
program service area, and distribution of a free video entitled, "The Healthy Home and
Garden: Less -Toxic Pest Control ", through libraries and video stores in our service area.
Additionally, MVSD provides pollution prevention information for home gardeners via its
very popular Bay - Friendly Garden workshop series. The series includes the three -hour
workshop "Gardening to Manage Pests Naturally ", that focuses on avoiding pesticide use
when possible though non -toxic pest control measures.
HHW Reused
Screening collected wastes and segregating reusable products to be given away for free
benefits all parties by minimizing the amount of waste requiring recycling or disposal
(reducing operating costs), and by providing items such as paint and cleaning products to
HHW facility customers so they can be used for their intended purpose.
6 -1
A quality assurance plan is in place to ensure that the reusable products have their original
labels and are in good condition. Personal care products, commercial and industrial
products, and products containing banned chemicals such as legacy pesticides, or
chemicals slated to be banned such as copper naphthenate, bis- tributyltin oxide, and
methylene chloride commonly found in insecticides, fungicides, and paint related materials,
are not given away.
Reuse accounted for roughly 23 percent of the total amount of waste collected by the HHW
Program. The amount of reusable products given away increased slightly by about 7
percent or about 31,000 pounds compared to last fiscal year.
The Reuse Program continued to be promoted through facility staff, the CCCSD Pipeline,
MVSD's Mt. View Monitor, the CCCSD and MVSD websites, local environmental events
(including Earth Day) and word of mouth. Over 15,000 Reuse Program participants were
given over 464,000 pounds of free reusable products during FY 2013/14. This represents
an average of nearly 31 pounds per participant, or about 38,600 pounds of reusable items
given away each month.
The estimated cost savings from the reuse program is $169,350. This is based on disposal
and container costs only at $0.32 per pound and roughly $20,000 of compensation from
PaintCare for each container of reusable PaintCare product given away, as described in
Section 4. (Figure 1 -4).
HHW Recycled
The types of hazardous waste recycled at off -site facilities include: latex paint, used motor
oil /filters, antifreeze, car batteries, propane cylinders, fluorescent lamps, lead (scrap metal),
mercury, household batteries and printer cartridges. Over 23,144 pounds of home -
generated cooking oil was collected and sent to a biofuel manufacturer for recycling at no
cost to the program. There are many waste streams in which the District is provided a
rebate or is not charged for recycling. More information about those waste streams can be
found in Section 10.
Table 6 shows the quantity of each type of recyclable waste, totaling 1,039,533 pounds, or
51.6 percent of the total quantity of HHW collected.
6 -2
In FY 2013/14, the amount of waste recycled increased from 972,447 pounds in 2013/14.
The volumes of universal wastes such as fluorescent lamps and household batteries
showed varying results compared to last year. Fluorescent lamp volumes increased by 8
percent and household batteries also increased by about 5 percent.
HHW Fuel Blended
In FY 2013/14, a total of 344,850 pounds of oil -based paint and other flammable liquids
(gasoline, paint thinners, etc.) was blended with other flammable hazardous wastes and
used as a fuel source to make Portland cement. This management method accounted for
about 17 percent of the total quantity of HHW collected as shown in Table 6. While fuel
blending is lower in the waste management hierarchy than recycling, it is still a beneficial
use that avoids using fossil fuels and prevents destructive incineration, treatment or Class I
landfill disposal.
Progress toward Diverting Hazardous Waste from Sewers and Landfills
The total quantity of hazardous waste (HW) diverted from sewers and landfills, and
managed by either giving away useable products to the public (reuse), recycling or fuel
blending for beneficial use was 1,848,638 pounds or over 90 percent of the total amount of
HW collected. This level of diversion far exceeds the current reuse /recycling goal of 49
percent.
Because California does not recognize fuel blending as "recycling ", a diversion rate of
nearly 74 percent was achieved (1,503,788 pounds) if you consider reuse and recycling
separately from fuel blending.

Section 7: Mobile Collection/
San Ramon Door To Door Program
MOBILE COLLECTION / SAN RAMON DOOR TO DOOR PROGRAM
The HHW program participation goal has always been to serve at least four percent of the
households in each community in the HHW service area. Mobile collection events were
once used to supplement participation in the communities most remote to the HHW facility
or with the lowest participation. There have been no mobile collection events since 2011,
when the City of San Ramon launched their City- sponsored Door -to -Door HHW Collection
program.
San Ramon Door -to -Door Collection Program
HHW Collection Facility participation by City of San Ramon residents has routinely fallen
short of the four percent per year goal, while facility participation by other communities in
the HHW Service area has ranged between 8 and 36 percent. San Ramon residents cite
that the Martinez facility is too far away and waiting a year between mobile collection events
is not convenient. In response, the City of San Ramon launched a Door -To -Door (DTD)
HHW Collection Program in June of 2011. Under this program, residents schedule an
appointment for a service contractor to come to their home to pick up and dispose of the
resident's Household Hazardous Waste, e- waste, sharps and medications.
Impact on Participation
San Ramon reported that their DTD program served 932 participants and collected a total of
55,641 pounds of waste at a cost of $147,600 in FY 2013/14. San Ramon participation at
the HHW facility was 3.6 percent, compared to 3.0 percent the previous year. The combined
participation of the DTD program and Permanent Collection Facility for FY 2013/14 was
1,886 participants, which is a combined participation rate of 7.1 percent. This is a slight
increase over last year's combined rate of 6.9 percent.
For a comparison of San Ramon participation, cost, and waste volumes prior to and during
Door -to -Door operations see Table 7 on the next page.

Section 8: Small Business Program
SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM
Small Business Program Description
An important component of the HHW Collection Program is the collection of hazardous
wastes from small businesses that qualify as "Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity
Generators" (CESQG) under Federal and State hazardous waste management laws. This
program is intended to offer small businesses a cost - effective and convenient hazardous
waste disposal option.
An appointment packet is used to provide information about the service, including eligibility,
operating requirements, and the appointment process. The business completes the Waste
Certification and Inventory Form and submits it to the HHW Program staff to initiate the
appointment process. HHW staff provides a price quote for disposal charges for the
inventoried wastes and sets an appointment for the business to deliver the wastes to the
facility. In most cases, same -day appointment service is available to customers, if needed.
The business is provided a copy of the completed Waste Certification and Inventory Form
to serve as the business's record of proper disposal for the wastes.
The significant differences between the residential service and the CESQG program are:
• Appointments are required for CESQG participants; and
• Administration and disposal costs for the wastes are paid for through a disposal
charge and $20 per appointment administration fee at the time of service.
The types of businesses using the program continue to be diverse, ranging from painting
contractors to small manufacturing companies. Approximately half of the business
participants are comprised of painting contractors, general contractors, and public
agencies. Currently the majority of the business participants, 74 percent, are located in
Martinez, Concord, and Walnut Creek. The largest volume waste stream processed
through the CESQG program is paints and paint - related materials (e.g., thinners).
Pollution Solutions Partnership
The Pollution Solutions (PS) partnerships began in 2008 with five Ace Hardware stores in
Concord, Martinez, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek. The partnership allows stores in the
HHW service area to collect household batteries and fluorescent lamps and drop them off
8 -1
at the HHW facility for free. The only condition is that the partners do not charge the
customers for recycling their items. The first year the partnership collected over 11,000
pounds of household batteries and fluorescent lamps. In FY 2013/14, the partnership had
seven participating Ace Hardware locations and the City of Pleasant Hill. All combined a
total of 23,850 pounds of household batteries and lamps were collected and properly
recycled.
PS partners have averaged about 105 visits per year over the last four years. More about
the Pollution Solutions Program can be found in Section 9 Public Education / Program
Promotion.
Small Business Program Participation
In FY 2013/14, the small business program served 255 appointments from 129
businesses. Compared to FY 2012/13 where 291 appointments and 134 businesses were
served, this reflects a 12 percent decrease in the number of appointments that participated
in the CESQG program. This decrease appears to be caused by the PaintCare Program
that offers businesses and residents free disposal of qualified paint products at most paint
retailers across the state. Figure 8 -1 describes new and existing business participation
over the past 10 years.
The retail take -back portion of PaintCare began in November 2012. The District has been a
part of the PaintCare Program since March 2013. While under the PaintCare program, we
are not allowed to charge businesses for the paint they deliver to us; however we may
continue to charge the administration fee of $20 per appointment.
Table 8 -1 presents the data for CESQG program participation during FY 2013/14 and

Small Business Program Revenue
Revenue collected from small businesses is for hazardous waste disposal or recycling
only. During FY 2013/14 $24,707 (see Table 8 -2), or approximately $85 per appointment
was collected. This includes $5,100 from administration fees ($20 per appointment). The
reduction in revenue is in part due to the decrease in small business appointments as well
as being unable to charge businesses for paint disposal under the PaintCare Program.
See Appendix II I for the current CESQG disposal charges.
Small Business Program Outreach
To date, CESQG outreach activities have included on -going advertising in local chamber of
commerce publications, CCCSD's Pipeline newsletter, MVSD's Mt. View Monitor
newsletter, advertising conducted by the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority,
Business Trade Fairs, and word of mouth by CCCSD's Source Control Inspectors, as well
as Contra Costa County Hazmat Program inspectors, as they complete their field work
auditing the operations of eligible businesses.

Section 9: Public Education/
Program Promotion
PUBLIC EDUCATION /PROGRAM PROMOTION
HHW program participation has steadily grown since the program's first complete year in FY 1998/99.
That year the program served 7.7 percent of the households in the HHW service area. Since then
participation has grown to over 15 percent. The HHW program is publicized in each issue of the
CCCSD Pipeline newsletter, which is mailed three times per year to more than 156,000 CCCSD
residential customers and over 5,000 businesses. Additionally, MVSD, the Central Contra Costa
Solid Waste Authority, and cities and organizations in the service area, have used their newsletters to
provide public education and promotion of the HHW program and its associated Pharmaceutical
Disposal Program. With this promotional strategy, about 16 percent of the total residential participants
during FY 2013/14 were first -time customers, and the remaining 84 percent were repeat customers.
This is a one percent decrease of first -time customers over last year.
The HHW programs are also promoted through displays staffed by CCCSD Communication Services
staff at the annual Earth Day Fair, several environmental fairs sponsored by hospitals, Chambers of
Commerce, and cities in the service area. In addition, the HHW is covered in all speaking
engagements by the Communication Services staff.
Promotions
Promotions for FY 2013/14 included the distribution of HHW brochures and flyers to permit counters,
information kiosks in all the client cities and their corresponding Chambers of Commerce offices.
Similarly, more than 20,000 Pharmaceutical Disposal brochures were distributed in the same
locations as well as hospitals and city hall offices.
The Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (Small Business) program was promoted through
ads in annually published city maps and Chambers of Commerce directories.
Activities promoting the small business program:
• CCCSD and MVSD web sites;
• Seven "environmental" fairs with a display focused to HHW;
• Promotion by Environmental Compliance Inspectors as they complete their field work auditing
the operations of eligible small businesses;
• Word -of- mouth;
• Eleven Speakers Bureau presentations by Communications Services Staff that includes details
on HHW operations.

Pollution Solutions
The promotional campaign, PS — "Pollution Solutions,"
continues at seven Ace Hardware Stores in our service
area: three Bill's Ace Hardware Stores (in Martinez,
Pleasant Hill, and Concord, two in Walnut Creek, two in
Alamo and one in Lafayette. The program consists of
store - specific signage, posters, shelf labels, and flyers
each noting the distance of the individual store to the
HHWCF. Shelf labels cover cleaning supplies,
automotive products, batteries, fluorescent lamps and
CFLs, paint and paint products. Each of the stores
receives two battery drop -off buckets — five - gallon
containers — for in -store collection. The stores also
accept fluorescent lamps. We hope to continue the
"PS" program and add more stores in the future.
POLLUTION
SOLUTIONS
HHW Collection Facility tours are provided upon request and are part of the 10 plant tours given in FY
2013/14. During the tour visitors are provided an HHWCF tour packet that contains an HHW fact
sheet, Mercury Waste and Thermometer Exchange flyer, and other related items, which promote the
HHW Program and related District pollution prevention programs.

Section 10: Revenue and Expenses
FY 2013114 REVENUE AND EXPENSES
The HHW Program expenses for FY 2013/14 totaled $2,554,972, which was 9.3 percent less than
last year, while the volume of waste collected and overall program participation both increased by 1
percent and 4.2 percent respectively. With the decrease in cost and increase in participation, the cost
per car decreased from $87 last year to $83 in FY 2013/14. The decrease in expenses can be
attributed to the following:
• Transportation and Disposal - The PaintCare program described earlier in this report avoided
nearly $340,000 in transportation and disposal /recycling costs. Paint Care also compensated
the District a little over $20,000 for reusable products during the year.
• District staff - One of the HHW Senior Technicians was temporarily assigned to another
department for over seven months, which temporarily reduced the departments overall
expense for salaries, benefits and overhead for the year. The reduction is not visible in the
expense compared to last year, but if the HHW program was fully staffed the cost would have
been $164,345 more than reported.
• Materials and Supplies — A savings of about $20,000 can also be attributed to PaintCare, as
containers used to ship eligible PaintCare wastes are paid for by PaintCare.
• Rebates or zero cost for recyclables — Staff was able to negotiate rebates or zero cost for
some recyclable waste streams such as waste oil, antifreeze, cooking oil, and auto batteries.
This earned the District over $48,000 in revenue.
Table 10 -1 presents a full summary of revenue and expenses for the HHW Collection Facility for FY
2013/14.
Revenue and No Cost Waste Management
Revenue for the HHW Collection Facility included payments from other jurisdictions under service
agreements (Mt. View Sanitary District, City of Concord, City of Clayton and City of San Ramon) and
charges to small businesses under the CESQG program. Also, many of the wastes that are collected
by the HHW facility have market value or require manufacturers to manage and pay the cost of their
recycling, also known as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
Staff is diligent in seeking low cost management or revenue generating alternatives while keeping
safe and proper disposal in mind. These waste streams either have a rebate, no cost recycling, or
10 -1
they manufacturer is responsible for the management of the waste and is at no cost to the District.
The list below describes the revenue generating or no cost waste streams, how much was collected, if
the District was paid for recycling the waste, and the cost if the District had to dispose of the waste
without compensation or EPR assistance.

Amortization of Capital Expenditures
Amortization of Capital Expenditures is derived from the capital costs to build the collection facility and
all capital improvements amortized over 30 years. No capital expenditures were added to the facility
in FY 2013/14. Table 10 -2 shows the amortization schedule of all capital expenditures since the HHW
Facility construction was completed in 1997.
