DAVIS Secretary WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA 94596 TEL. 934-6727 AREA CODE 415 April 13, 1971 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SUBJECT: Request for commercial compacted rate for bulk garbage. REFERENCE: (a) Memorandum, same subject dated 12 April, 1971. 1. BACKGROUND: See reference (a). 2. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Subsequent to reference (a), staff had opportunity to discuss in detail with management of Lafayette Garbage Disposal Service, Inc. the subject of compacted garbage. Basically, the problem facing management is that compaction of garbage by Safe- way Stores is difficult to handle and redundant. The machine employed by Safeway compacts garbage into a cubic 1-1/2 yard block. This size is too heavy and awkward for employees to lift and therefore must be torn apart before placement in the garbage truck. As the garbage truck already employs a compactor device, compaction by the customer in com- mercial amounts is redundant to the collection agency. At the dump site, compaction of garbage is virtually destroyed in the process of emptying the trucks. In regard to residential customers, compaction of garbage is highly desirable from the viewpoint of collection. Size of residential compacted garbage can be easily handled and with increased speed. In management's opinion, the P1ideal situation" would be all residential garbage compacted and placed at the curb. Respectfully submitted, E. K.

DAVIS WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA 94596 TEL. 934-6727 AREA CODE 415 April 12, 1971 Secretary MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SUBJECT: Public Hearing on District Annexation No. 32 1. INFORMATION: As of 2:00 P.M., 12 April, 1971, this District has received four letters concerning District Annexation No. 32. Three letters protested annexation because the owners of the par- cels concerned: (a) do not believe they require the services of the District at this time, and (b) object to paying taxes to the District when no improvements or sanitary facilities are planned. The fourth letter requested further information on District An- nexation No, 32. All letters received will be available for per- usal by Board Members at the meeting on 15 April, 1971.

HORSTKOTTI:, JR., General Manager—Chief Engineer ERNEST K. DAVIS Secretary MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SUBJECT: Request for commercial compacted rate for bulk garbage. 1. PROBLEM: District Ordinance No. 74 adopted by the Board on 1 April, 1971, does not provide rates for compacted garbage. 2. BACKGROUND: Lafayette Garbage Disposal Service, Inc. submitted a written request dated 2 April, 1971, for creation of a commercial compacted garbage rate charge of $4.30 per cubic yard per pick up. This is double the rate for bulk garbage approved by the Board on 1 April. Management of Lafayette states that one commercial customer (Safeway Stores), one of its larger commercial accounts, as a result of an efficiency study, installed a baling machine at its Lafayette store and commenced baling bulk garbage on 1 April, 1971. Manage— ment further reports that Safeway has installed a similar machine in one of its Oakland stores and that Oakland Scavenger Company doubled the rate charge for that one store. 3. DISCUSSION: Fundamental to the problem is the answer to the question; is compaction of garbage desirable from the viewpoint of the customer, the col— lecting agency, the dump operator and the District? If compaction is desirable because it provides space saving and ease of handling, District rate policy should be oriented to encourage residents and commercial accounts to resort to compaction for economy and efficiency.
