Alameda Municipal Code § 21-2 Collection and Removal

a. Solid Waste. The occupant or owner of any premises in the city in, upon, or from which solid waste is created, produced, or accumulated, shall dispose of the solid waste at least once each week through the solid waste collection service of the franchisee, unless otherwise exempt as per subsection 21-20.4. The customer of the premises shall pay the franchisee for such removal at rates established by the franchisee that comply with City-established policies and do not exceed the rate ceilings set by the City.

b. Recyclable Materials and Organic Materials. It is mandatory that the owner or occupant of any premises contract with and pay the franchisee for recyclable materials and organic materials collection services, unless otherwise exempt as per subsections 21-20.4(d). The owner or occupant shall pay the franchisee at rates established by the franchisee that comply with City-established policies and do not exceed the rate ceilings set by the City. It is mandatory that the customer ensure that recyclable and organic materials are placed in the proper collection containers in accordance with franchisee's instructions.

c. Service Arrangements. Each customer shall make arrangements with the franchisee for the required collection of solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials. Such arrangements shall specify the location of the premises, the type and size of containers to be provided by franchisee for collection of solid waste, recyclable materials, organic materials, and the frequency of collection. Each customer shall contract with franchisee for a sufficient number of solid waste containers to hold all solid waste that is created, produced, or accumulated on such premises between the times of successive collections by the franchisee. If the City Manager determines that additional receptacles or capacity are necessary, the customer shall provide for such additional service within fifteen (15) days of the mailing of a written notice by the City Manager.

d. Failure to Initiate Service. Should any owner or occupant fail to initiate the collection of solid waste, recyclable materials, or organic materials or fail to obtain additional service when required pursuant to paragraph c. above, the City Manager may initiate such service or additional service at the customer's expense.

(Ord. No. 3310 N.S., § 2, 11-16-2021)

Upon the placement of solid waste, recyclable materials, organic materials, or construction and demolition debris in a container for collection by a franchisee or permittee, the materials become the property of that franchisee or permittee, unless the franchisee determines that materials placed in any container for collection are excluded materials. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to work an uncompensated taking of personal property by requiring any person to give valuable commodities to the franchise or a permittee. Instead, this chapter is intended to govern the conduct of those who generate materials which may be disposed of at a disposal site to accomplish the purposes of the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 and the Alameda County Waste Reduction and Recycling Initiative Charter Amendment and to regulate the disposal of materials abandoned or discarded as waste by their owners.

(Ord. No. 3310 N.S., § 2, 11-16-2021)

a. General. The occupant of each premises shall place and keep solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials in containers approved by the City Manager and owned and provided by franchisee, which containers shall be kept closed by a close-fitting cover when not in use. Franchisee shall have the right to refuse collection of any container due to one (1) or more of the following circumstances: (i) the container is not safe to collect, (ii) the container contains excluded materials or hazardous materials, (iii) the container is filled past the "water line" and will likely spill material onto the ground if collected, and/or (iv) the container weighs in excess of the maximum weight limit identified.

b. Projects. Every person engaged in construction is hereby required to provide user disposal containers at each construction site for the deposit of solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials by the employees or workers engaged in such construction. The container shall be kept closed by a close-fitting cover except when in use. Every person who consumes food on the premises shall deposit all food scraps in an organic materials container provided at the site. Casting aside any unconsumed food scraps or solid waste on the premises or public rights-of-way is forbidden.

c. Solid Waste Containers.

1. Commercial Premises. Commercial premises may use carts for solid waste collection that are shared by the occupants of two (2) or more commercial premises, provided that the City Manager determines adequate capacity is provided.

2. Overages. Customers of single-family, multi-plex, and multi-family premises, may purchase extra service tags for solid waste collection of extra materials. Extra solid waste must be placed in a customer-provided bag, with the extra service tag affixed to the bag, and set on the curb next to the customer's solid waste container on collection day.

(Ord. No. 3310 N.S., § 2, 11-16-2021)

a. Single-Family and Multi-Plex Premises. Single-family and multi-plex occupants shall be responsible for placing carts or bags of solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials curbside as directed by the franchisee, unless the customer has contracted with the franchisee for backyard service or has qualified for a disabled person service location exemption as described in subsection 21-20.4(d). Containers or bags shall not be stored on or in any public street, sidewalk, footpath, or public place. Single-family and multi-plex owners or occupants shall be responsible for placing containers curbside for collection on the days established by the franchisee for collection, or after 5:00 p.m. of the previous day. The owner or occupant shall remove all containers from the place of collection prior to 12:00 midnight of the day on which the containers are emptied.

(Ord. No. 3310 N.S., § 2, 11-16-2021)

Each residential customer shall be entitled to clean-up collection event(s) as described in the franchise agreement. The customer shall contact franchisee to schedule an on-call clean-up collection event and franchisee shall provide such service to the premises on its regularly scheduled collection day within five (5) business days of a request. For each clean-up collection event, each residential customer shall be permitted to place for collection at no charge up to three (3) cubic yards of reusable materials, recyclable materials, yard trimmings, and solid waste and up to three (3) bulky items of which one (1) of these items may be an E-waste item.

Arrangements with the collector shall be made by each such owner for the required collection of integrated waste, and such arrangements shall specify the location of the premises, integrated waste receptacle type and sizes, and the frequency of collection.

A single-family or multi-plex generator shall adjust its service level for its collection services as requested by the City in order to meet the standards set forth in this chapter.

Purchase and maintenance of the remote monitoring program shall be the responsibility of the commercial business.
