Through annual grant funding from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), the City uses the services of WM Curbside to administer the City’s Household Hazardous Waste Program. The program consists of picking up used motor oil and oil filters from residences, including battery collection at City facilities (Municipal Services Center, City Hall, and Senior Center), annual verification of certified used oil collection centers within the City, and assistance with CalRecycle grant reports.

The existing contract will be expiring in February 2022. Staff will be issuing a new Request for Proposals (RFP) in the upcoming months, however, to avoid any service gaps, the contract will need to be extended through February 2023 to allow enough time for staff to process the RFP and new service contract.

There is no impact to the General Fund. Contract services are funded with CalRecycle grant funds.

It is recommended that the City Council:

•  Approve Amendment No. 4 to the Contract with WM Curbside, LLC, for administration of the City’s Household Hazardous Waste Program; and

•  Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 4 to the Contract with WM Curbside, LLC, on behalf of the City, including making minor modifications as appropriate.
